Please choose an appropriate response from me, based on whichever you think I'm more likely to give you:
1. Thank you for your support.
2. Fuck off.
Now, get off my case. Mr. Parcelan fucked around with this message on 04-10-2006 at 12:42 PM.
You had the chance to be graceful about it, but you had to choose be a snide little shithead. You may have a job, but you're still a goddamn failure in the eyes of everyone around you.
Edit: For the record, if you want to pick fights with the entire board, you use a flame tag. Mr. Parcelan fucked around with this message on 04-10-2006 at 12:43 PM.

Oh geez, now what possible reasons could there be for me not being graceful? Would your reaction have been any different if I'd initially been more graceful? Technically, on the people who would best fit option 2 would think of this as not being graceful...
You telling me a failure doesn't make it so, and you sure as hell haven't talked to my family. (They don't think I'm a failure either, FYI.)

Looking forward to the inevitable "I have a crush on my co-worker who doesn't reciprocate these feelings because I've never made her knowledgeable of them", "Where can I buy chloroform online?" and "How do I dispose of a human body?" threads. 
It's not something people hear about.

Are you saying I should take 100 percent stock in what relative strangers tell me over the internet?
I made the other thread because Parce was right that I could have worded it better.. I'd have locked this one, but I don't think it would have made any difference in the responses I got. I doubt Parcelan's attitude would have been any different if I'd only made the second one; though of course, he'd claim it would have...
The change of title doesn't surprise me either. If it makes Parcelan feel clever and/or important, well, I'm glad to provide that service for him.

Why do certain people feel the need over and over to make me feel like a failure?
I'm not going to committ suicide just because someone here tells me to or that I should apologize for existing.
I stick around because.... well, I think it has something to do with the fact I wouldn't give some people the pleasure of seeing me leave, even if it does save them money on Levitra.

We don't want you to leave.

Nice try at twisting his words around.
He's likely actually saying "For those around here who really hate my guts, I don't want to leave and give them the satisfaction of me being gone."
Mightion isn't an annoying person (from what I've seen, maybe he's annoying in IRC or something), but people here hate him anyway.

Twisting? My rewording was completely accurate. By Might's own words, he's here specifically to pester those that dislike him.

No. Incorrect.
I never try to "pester" anyone. One of the reasons I don't leave is I won't give the people that dislike me the satisfaction.
The original post was sort of a "So there" moment... I had literally just gotten off the phone after finding out I was hired.

Nowhere did he state that he is sticking around here to be annoying. He DID state that hasn't (or won't unless forced) left because he doesn't want to give people that hate him, for whatever reason, the pleasure of him being gone.

I'm going to be doing tech support for a national ISP that is only now branching out into cable - mainly dialup at the moment.

It's a good thing they're branching out, since dialup is going bye bye.
I wish them luck competing with global giants of Comcast, Verizon, and the new Mega-AT&T.

DSL coloc's are cheap and simple to install, even in very remote areas companies like Verizon and AT&T are moving in.
Right now, I'm guessing 10 years tops before high speed has near 100% nationwide coverage. Technically, everyone can get it, but satellite isn't cost effective. If you don't count that, they're hovering in the 70-80% range ballpark. Which is good considering the geographical area of the US.
The larger and more vacant states just need the towers in place to get it out to people in places like Montana and such. The next generation of Wimax looks good, which works in 30 mile increments for range.

Considering the my girlfriend has been unable to find a company able to provide her with DSL in spite of the fact that she doesn't live any further than fifteen miles away from College Station, I'd say that your experience does not necessarily reflect on that of the rest of the world.

Why does it sound to me like your way too over satisfied with what you've done? Its great you got a job and all but you cant do it for the rest of your life, especially when it sounds like your family is slowly finacially crumbling. Maybe you should put WoW down for awhile and maybe start saving some money to look into schools or something, getting some entry level job just so you can support your $15 a month video game addiction is kinda..............stupid.
Who are you again?
My job is going to pay me quite enough so that $45 every three months is not a hardship.
And for the record, my brother bought this house a few weeks ago, so we're not "financially crumbling", as you say.
I'm certainly not going to throw out all my possessions and live in an empty room because strangers think I don't deserve them somehow.
