Good show and point taken.

Another day goes by, another little bit of Dude's nitpicking crumbles.

Have a cookie.

Gah, I woulda had funniest member if Tenser hadn't voted for himself. Well I sure would have tied but I like to think otherwise.

If he didn't, then bravo to him.

**Dudebro** · 01-28-2010, 10:48 PM

I still dislike absolutes and I'll nitpick them every time.

**DrunkN** · 01-28-2010, 10:49 PM

Really now. Every time?

**Dudebro** · 01-28-2010, 11:17 PM

Yes, every time! But yeah I know what you're getting at and yeah not every time obviously. I should say, every time I notice it.

I think I voteed for Steven. I didn't even want it.

Would you like me to decline so you can win it out of pity?

Well sure, but you're bluffing old wart.

**Kugyince** · 01-29-2010, 01:48 PM

Nope, if it's cool with DB/Kongger, you can have it. I don't post or mod for rewards nor do I require some faux positive reinforcement to make me feel special.

**Dudebro** · 01-29-2010, 09:36 PM

No it's not cool with me, this isn't about positive reinforcement or anything like that. Are you trying to imply that the rest of us need this for some validation or whatever? Like it or not this is how the community voted and I think it should stay. If we just switch around the winners then why even bother letting people vote?

Why are some of you acting like this is so annoying? If you don't care for it just ignore it or give some constructive criticism so it's better next year. This is supposed to be a positive thing for the site and hopefully it will help increase the active members. If any of you think I did this to boost my ego then you're sadly mistaken and I guess you don't know me very well.

Oh this is just a bunch of squabble, Tenser's just trying to guilt me for my turkey talk.

**Dudebro** · 01-29-2010, 09:50 PM

Sorry if I seem mad but I just don't get why people seem to have a problem with this. Like I said it's supposed to be a good thing for the community.

My point was completely missed on you then?

First off, you might be surprised to learn that my statement had nothing to do with you or your ego (my ego's better by the way).

You're suppose to win and I'm glad you did. It shows me that you're doing your job, i.e. the reason you are a mod. On the other hand, I'm suppose to lose. It shows me that I'm also doing my job here. I'm merely dismayed that I won funniest member, that I got that many votes for best mod, and that I got so few for good riddance. It tells me that I've started to really slack in my job here.

[sarcasm]So please take your "woe is me, no one gets me" stance back to your black painted bedroom where you can return to listening to My Chemicle Romance, writing bad poetry, and pretending to be suicidal for attention like every other emo.[/sarcasm]

**Slime Slayer** · 01-30-2010, 12:02 AM

sarcasm?

**Kugyince** · 01-30-2010, 12:08 AM

Maybe the sarcasm tags were sarcastic?

I wouldn't say surprised but I was assuming some of you thought that was my motivation.

Well face it, your tough guy act isn't working anymore. Despite your best efforts most people have realized that you're not actually mean or uncaring. The votes speak for themselves.
I don't agree with you seeing this as a bad thing. I just think it shows the impact you have around here. I remember what it was like when you weren't active on RU, we're much better off now.

Am I emo? If it matters I doubt I could ever willfully cut myself.

**Slime Slayer** · 01-30-2010, 01:01 AM

i think you are emo db, listen to some weezer and beach boys, and stare at the ceiling for a bit, you might come to something.

**Dudebro** · 01-30-2010, 01:16 AM

I don't like Beach Boys or My Chemical Romance(I do like Weezer though). Combine that with the inability to cut myself and I'm starting to doubt the emo thing. Maybe I'm just able to express myself better than you guys?

**Slime Slayer** · 01-30-2010, 01:23 AM

or "us guys" dont use ru as a crutch, your choice.

**Dudebro** · 01-30-2010, 01:48 AM

That's how you see it? Ok then whatever you say big guy.

**Slime Slayer** · 01-30-2010, 03:36 AM

db, no one can deny, you expel alot of energy on this site

I totally thought you planned all this to just show how superior you are to us.

Which only shows me that to continue to be useful to Big D I'll just have to become even more of a hard ass.

**sabby** · 01-30-2010, 12:52 PM

Oh man, here we go again.

Yeah but calling RU my crutch is reaching. I spend a lot of time here because of the people. If it wasn't for that I would've lost interest long ago.

If you think that's best but I don't think you need to worry about it. It's not like people are disrespecting you or being dismissive of your moderation.
