I love it when people treat me like this: the condescending tone, the attempts at belittlement, the overall rudeness. I find myself enjoying the adrenaline rush that comes from people despising me, and confrontation in general.

Why is that?

You should hear what they say behind your back  ;)

I've seen samples. Mob-like gossip but still entertaining.

As a donator, you can now change your name (as much as you want) without creating a new account!

You like attention too much. You need more intrinsic self worth. Do something so useful that noone else can deny it.

Off off-topic thought:

This micropayments thing is really really innovative. If bitcoin was marketed as this from the beginning rather than a substitute for fiat it would have been accepted by the skeptical public far easier.

The following lyrics were co-written by a good friend of mine and can be found on Willie Nelson's Promiseland album.

I'd like to help but I can't get involved.
And anyway.
I've got problems of my own I haven't solved.

It doesn't look like I ever got this tip. This tip blueballing is an unintended consequence of micropayments. I didn't expect a tip but now that it was implied I was about to receive one the disappointment has made my life is slightly worse for not getting it.

Consider yourself Boss'ed.

As for the OP, you're doing it now.

Interesting! So, what you're saying, the next time Boss is being himself, we should quote the OP of this thread.

Hahaha, I expected this to happen.

Blockchain.info is down. You will have your tip when I get into to my wallet. : )

Please, pray tell, get this resolved soon and don't turn it into another one of these: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=65955.0

I think boss has over 100k bitcoins, so I expect 100-1000 or so as a tip.

Yes, most people don't genuinely take pleasure in knowing that people despise them...but to be fair not everyone is born into the same greenhouse.

Boss: Not sure if this is an honest request for insight or a way of seeing how well known you are after 250 posts, but I believe a clue to your predicament lies in this sentence:

"I find myself enjoying the adrenaline rush that comes from people despising me, and confrontation in general."

Not the thought itself, but the disregard behind the thought is what makes this self-fulfilling. Everyone enjoys an adrenaline rush, and for you to feel one here implies a lack of empathy (either you outwards, or outwards in). It's possible you may have been hurt quite severely to feel peace seeing it in others.
