I realized I have been a douchebag today.

[Atlas]

I mainly feel bad for dogging out on Gavin Andresen. I actually like the man. I just don't like anybody running Bitcoin. I apologize, Gavin. I get really passionate at times.

Anyways, I ought to explain why I am such a douchebag: My perception is skewed to where I think the whole world is shit. I think everything is falling apart and everything is against me. Rationally and objectively, that is not the case. We live in a rudderless world with many powers at play. Yet after seeing and reading about war, corruption and other "evils" extensively, I can't help but to feel terror lurks around every corner and every facet in life. This turns me into a really butthurt and annoying faggot. Especially when I think everyone hates me. It's why I am always surprised by any genuine respect that comes my way. I literally expect everyone to hate me outright. And, well, that makes me a very depressed individual at times.

I'll try to be more rational. I'll try to be more collected in the future.

Thanks.

You know what makes today different from every other day? Today, you *realized* you had been a douchebag.

Holy shit, Atlas...insight much?

I'm almost shocked by what you wrote.

Cheers, bud.

Kudos for not just having the self-awareness to realise what you were doing but for also having the balls to admit it.

admiration much!

There's a South Park episode that can help you out with that.

And there's the depressive episode I predicted.

Using homophobic language makes you a douchebag, too.

I cannot explain what is happening to Atlas... could be the feel of the community around him? Or could be... because bitcoin

Whenever I realized I had been a DBag, I grew from that recognition.

I am waiting for the day that you'll be using a non-confused avatar.

If it makes you feel any better, I like you. You sometimes step into batshit insane territory, and that's your charm, but you also rise many good points. When it comes to stuff like liberty, it's always better to be overly paranoid and questioning than too trusting. Don't worry about haters, most people naturally look for a leader, and have hard time accepting that sometimes their leaders don't always act in their best interest.

Besides, by being able to look into yourself and see flaws, then publicly admitting to them, you proved to have more balls and integrity than most people, here or there.

Keep loud and carry on.

Expectable, I'm attractive to both sexes.

"I'm obviously the kind of guy who trusts no one, and for good reasons and for bad reasons. But reasons. Lots of them. Thousands of reasons!

Like those phone calls where I merrily answer "Hello?" and they, mysteriously, hang up.

Or when I answer a phone call by saying, "Hello? Is this the idiot who called, and then hung up when I said 'hello'?", and then the caller says, "No! You're an idiot!"   THEN they hang up! Weird!

I mean, how do you make sense of ANY of that, except by first assuming that everybody is out to get you, then it all falls into place?

In fact, every time I turn around, there more corruption, more theft, and always someone else not to trust, which is, I am sorry to say, always "par for the course" at the end of long monetary booms, where a continual flood of new government money, year after year, enticed more and more greedy people to commit corruption upon corruption, deal after deal, decade after decade, until the misshapen economy evolved into a big, nasty spider's web of debt, lies, thefts, blackmail and worse..."

I remember the very same type of self-reflecting, reasonable Atlas-thread shortly before going on an emotional frenzy which resulted in a suicide threat and his banning several months ago.

Does history repeat itself?

Sure does. He's douchebagging it up again already up there in Forum 1.
