Make me a proud and happy man, Niinimaki and Phillips!

What a transparent prick to pick the opposites. You're just an attention whore trolling at every post.

Ill stick with believing you just wanted to carp on his selfless act to support wrestling.

It's just another one his typical ingenious (  ) off topic two cents worth contribution. Chalk it up to: you get what you paid for. 

Enlightening.

How to Identify Self Absorbed People

Self-centered people are easy to identify but difficult to handle. They love to talk, mainly about themselves, and can be quite dismissive about the point of view of others.

Absorbed by their grandiosity, they look down on others with an air of superiority that is frequently displayed in the way they behave toward them with a "holier than thou" attitude.

This type of person is also defined by others as being incredibly annoying. We have all dealt with them in our personal relationships, brief acquaintances, in the work place, and on the streets.

Self-Centeredness and its Roots in Narcissism

What makes self-centered behaviors so annoying to others is that they indicate a total disregard for the other person's opinion, value, or existence.

It appears that it's uncomfortable for self-centered people to be attentive for more than five minutes before they draw attention back to themselves to make their point which they believe to be correct.

These behaviors may have their roots in certain behavioral or personality traits that influence how the self-centered person approaches his/her environment and interacts with others.

These traits loosely fall under the definition for Narcissistic Personality which may involve a cluster of traits or a clinical diagnosis of a personality disorder. This can produce behaviors that affect the individual's ability to have healthy social interactions and close personal relationships.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is said to possibly be a result of overly indulgent parenting styles. They include but are not limited to the following list of traits and characteristics:

-Self-absorption
-Excessive self-love
-Need for admiration and/or fame
-Lack of empathy or concern for others
-Unrealistic sense of entitlement
-Demanding
-Manipulative
-Vanity and pre-occupation with appearance
-Self-assured cockiness

Unfortunately, it is difficult to contend with a self-centered person whose behavior is most likely related to imbedded traits of their personality that may not easily change.

It is well-known in the field of psychology that most personality disorders are not easy to treat.

Therefore, we are left to maneuver around or tolerate the annoying behaviors of those with whom we interact in our personal lives, work settings, or in public.

I won't rechew that fat. I know how to deal with troublesome community members and your past and current behavior would get you on a zero tolerance list. You'd get tired if bouncing your connections for new non-public IPs and creating new profiles and email emails that you'd come into voluntary compliance or move on. Either the board wins. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the site. Interesting edgy style.

I was turned off by the Wednesday comic though. It's a rip off of Saint Young Men.

I think it's obvious what you're doing coachsparky.  You're trying to walk the line of the rules to spite them. You're basically flipping off Ray and V as well as the community members.

Your recent topics are veiled attempts to continue to thwart the rules.  They are designed to cause argument or to irritate people than to contribute to a constructive discussion.  In my opinion they should be treated as baited troll posts.

You may be the most childish adult I've ever come across on these boards.  It's no surprise you've been banned before. It is my opinion your posting style here has worn out its welcome.

While Ray and V can not control your behavior they do have control over what they will tolerate. I hope they don't suffer this behavior much longer.

Here's another thread that has outlived any usefulness and probably should be moved to a wasteland.

There's a childish pattern developing.
