Damn. I am SERIOUSLY sorry, now more than before...

[Burter]

I'm almost glad you didn't get in after that showing, because you being eliminated probably would have ended up in a much bigger arguement

It was actually more like going to try-outs and not making the team.

And I'd have to agree with Burter. You probably would have thrown a fit if you lost.

Instead we got to deal with Dana throwing a tantrum about DA:C.

[Burter]

That was actually pretty funny, because he was going back and forth on everything. At least Max stuck with it

I'd call it "stubborn" or "close-minded" before I called it "steadfast."

Borgos, I think that you just seem to think people are deliberately taking shots at you sometimes. Sure, some people have taken shots at you, but most of the time you just blow things out of proportions.

You mentioned Chubbs Idol up in this thread. See, I didn't make the cut either. It didn't mean that they saw you and immediately said: "z0mfg, it's Max. That's a definite no." It's just that during competitions and whatnot, people have to be eliminated to narrow things down. Sure, bias sets in, but feeling biased is a natural emotion, so that shouldn't come into play either.

Lastly, most shots are you that were purposely done were after your paranoia annoyed them enough that they just didn't want to see you. But yeah, that's what Gokua thinks. I'm probably wrong, but whatever. =D

Anyhoo, why are you being so cruel to me, Rad? I thought we were buds, but you're still treating me like Old Max. When are you going to take off them snazzy lookin' shades of yours, and realize I've changed?

I'm not being cruel, I'm being honest.

By close-minded I mean that when you decide something, that's it. If you think you're right, then you're right and you'll be damned if anyone is gonna tell you different.

[Burter]

Max, are you sorry or not? We're agreeing with you and all you're doing is defending the very actions you're apologizing for.

That's what contributes to your close-mindedness. You saw everything that did not go your way as an assult against you. That is closed-mindedness - not be able to see things from another point-of-view. It has nothing to do with facts or what have you. It is making an assertion without considering other routes and their impact on your assertion beforehand.
