You start the thread okay
then decide to respond to a post
by insulting the poster
and then insult another poster
and continue bluntly posting everything that comes to your mind
How old are you ruby?
I'm trying to understand you as a person
I can kind of relate to the type of mindset you have
You've thought things through, lots of things, come to rely on yourself for answers because you are intelligent, but I think the part you've gone wrong is thinking that you're better than some people.
Whether you are, or are not, is not something for you to openly exude in your posts, and in fact you should not hold that belief at all, if you wish to be liked.
Allow me to bring some things to your attention that I think you might have missed:
1) There are many, many stupid people in this world, if you ever should feel that you have encountered one, do not confront their stupidity bluntly. If you feel they are wrong, share you're point of view, do not STATE your point of view, do not PREACH your point of view, bring it up in passing, put it out there as a possibility, not a fact.
2) Doubt yourself. Just a little. I don't care how much thought you have put into an idea, a subject, a strategy, anything, you are human, you are fallible, don't act otherwise.
3) When you do state your opinion (or 'fact'), back it up with how you got there, show your work, you, nor I, nor the majority of smashers are in any position for our word to be accepted as truth without walking people down the same thought process we took to get there.
4) You're playing a competitive game, you're not well known (for your smash accomplishments), when you act like you're the ****, you are inviting people to challenge you, your knowledge, your credibility, your skill level. Yes, we all play this game to have fun, but we also would love to be the best (of course there are exceptions), and when we feel others are acting like they are better than us without having proved it, it puts us off;
'where does this guy get off acting like he's the best, I could probably 3 stock him, ****in scrub'
and what I mean by 'acting like he's the best' is what I said in the first post I made here.
now I said all that pretty bluntly, pretty sure of myself and pretty confident that I'm on the money
but I'll end my post with something to offset how cocky I may have seemed to others because I recognize that I could be wrong, and others may have different views/opinions, or may misinterpret what I'm trying to do here:
"of course, I could be wrong, but these are juss some things I've noticed within many communities that seem to hold true."
