But again, I don't see the subjective distaste you guys have for Snarf as having any real basis. What you label Snarf for "whining" about, you have absolutely no problem with when Nowhereman posts a thread about being suspended and later fired from his job.
Because, as Snarf said above, Nowhereman is one of the guys you regard as "cool".
And Snarf is a guy you regard as not cool, and target for maximum harassment.
You would never go for Nowhereman the way you go after Snarf. Their two topics are arguably the same mindset, frustration over a loss, but you spin Snarf's as self-pity and Nowhereman's as self-deprecating.

Did you actually read my post about job loss?
There was a quite imprtant bit in it where I said "I dont give a shit!"

I wasnt whining as quite frankly, I am fucking happy to be out of that shit cunt job.

The big difference between that post and Snarfs posts is that I wasnt whining and crying "Oh woe is me!".

I was putting something out there that quite frankly, could have been used as a butt of peoples jokes, but the fact that I had such a dont give a shit attitude about it, kinda stops it being worth doing a joke about!

RKMBs:"Nowhereman lost his job cause he called someone a cunt!"

Me:"Yup!"

Now thats a difference to:

RKMBs:"Snarf is a whiney virgin!"

Snarf:"Stop picking on me!"


Like Snarf, you are trying to justify his patheticness, by comparing it to something else that has no actual relation to the subject at hand.

If people want to take the piss out of me for being out of work currently, or that I was fired, it wont bother me in the slightest, cause I am happy with the situation.

Snarf is obviously not happy with his situation.

I really dont regard anyone as "cool" on a message board, and would find it pretty humourous if anyone found me to be "cool", because that means you have problems differenciating between real life and the internet.
When you post here, you can be anything you want to be, so if your aim is to be a self pitying, pathetic worm, thats pretty fucked up!


Well, like prometheus said...

Snarf, I think you're an okay guy! topic

...Snarf isn't a bad looking guy. He's also a nice guy, probably good company that a lot of women would welcome. So despite his possibly not appreciating it, he has no reason not to be confident. As I said before, I was 26 when I had my first serious relationship. Once you've flown, it's a lot easier to fly.

I think for the most part, you were very assertive and fearless when you left your job. It's commendable that you have that confidence, that it didn't get to you, and you can just move on.

But in one aspect, you arguably were like Snarf, in that you vented frustration about what happened to you, that a female co-worker stabbed you in the back, and vented that your boss unfairly came down on you for bitching about work on your own website. (In your boss' defense, it was right out there for him to see, exactly what you thought of him and work. In YOUR defense, you didn't name names so the company was openly humiliated online.) But it's a fine line.

The difference is you said "fuck it, it happened, I'm moving on".

Whereas Snarf (at least in his opening post), sunk into self-doubt and was discouraged from trying again. I agree that wallowing in self-doubt isn't going to help him to his goal, IF that's what he's doing.

But telling Snarf in topic after topic that he's a loser and a virgin who's never going to get laid is not exactly helping the ssituation. I guess you'd label that as "Rob Kamphaausen tough love" ?
