A Diatribe on OAO

[mburbank]

Okay, so, is this

"the combination of the stress from living in a Statist society which I rejected and the lack of anyone to relate to left me void."

The kind of stuff you mean to be funny? Because it's hysterical.

If what you mean is to portray a totally fictional persona who's utterly self absorbed, has only the most hamfisted inkling of the existance of others and is a complete blowhard, it's very funny.

If you mean to convey information about your actual self, if your posts are in any way related to how you actually think and what you actually think about, then they are sad.

My guess is that your intent is not humor at all. You want to be percieved as puckish, droll, a bon vivant. And therein is the whole damn problem. If you were ANY of those things (or even just funny) you wouldn't need to constantly tell us. Do I write threads titled "I just realized I'm a great comedy writer!" Does Mock write threads titled "I just realized I make up for genital inadequacy by having a huge website!" Will you write future threads titled "Boy was I ever an enormous asshole!"?
