), so I don't see how it is a problem.Ari, you might be unpredictable (in a bad way), weird (also in a bad way) and you mightn't think much of other people's feelings before you speak... fortunately you're antisocial enough that it's usually not a problem. Being the kind of person who'll suddenly cuss out half of his friends without any visible provocation *would* be a problem... *if* you had a lot of close friends in the first place. On the other hand, though, you're hurting *yourself* big time by being a huge lazy bastard. Things like leaving Malarbor showing a temporary message for a week (possibly to be longer) - that's small potatoes compared to your incredible capability of procrastination when it comes to things that actually matter in your life. Pursuits that other people would consider worthless are above you because you can't bring yourself out of sitting on reddit all day to do things a trained chimpanzee could do.
Corey: Icebreaker put it pretty well when we were discussing various micronationalists on #etd once (you weren't present)... You have uninformed opinions and unwarranted self-importance. As an example from politics, you hate the US for not being liberal enough and plan to move away. Well, the idea's certainly consistent, but let's just see you actually act on it. Also, whether the opinions you hold and the actions you take are correct or not, you sometimes toss around incredibly faulty justifications for them. For instance, while I agree with you on removing the Loki amendments from the Charter, your justification that this didn't cause you to break your promise to Jake not to remove those amendments because "the Landsraad did it, not me" is just wrong. Oh, and also, whatever the reason why you loathe Andreas so much is, it's probably a bad one.
dr-spangle: I don't have much to say about you as a person. You used to be pretty bad, but #etd has taught you a lot about how to awesome
. You're only in this list because I absolutely hate the way you call things "illegal" in the MCS - for reasons I've already explained in person...Erik: I have a bit of a special problem with you, because I'm often unnecessarily cryptic, and you are usually more unwilling to interpret me than others. That's all just between you and me, though. What I really find to be a problem with you is... you come across situations and don't suppress or withhold your emotional response long enough to actually analyse what's going on. You let your overprotective streak take the wheel too often. At least, that's how I believe you manage to get angry about the stuff that goes on in Shireroth when you're around. People are complex creatures of intent and deception, and you have a very fine mind that's able to grasp a decent amount of computer science (though I do think Haskell would blow your mind
) - you should have that, not your limbic system, take responsibility of your emotions. Oh, and you pretend to know all about what makes Shireroth tick. While I agree with you on the Jake amendments, I do believe you have much less of a clear idea what makes Shireroth a fun place to be and a community than you think 
.Icebreaker: I wish I had the same problem with you as I have with Scott (see bottom of post). That way I could always just ignore you when you're being judgmental or annoying. Considering what you've said about yourself, I'd probably be interpreting you more accurately. Anyway, misguided and shortsighted as some of the things I've done about my life might have been, I mostly just wish you'd stop calling them emo. It makes me emo when you do that, you see. For instance, once you read this post, you probably should consider carefully just what adjectives could rightfully be applied to it
. (who am I kidding, you'll call it emo anyway. If not for any other reason, then for this last remark.)Jake: I can't really say much about you because there's so much about you that I don't understand at all. The generation gap's pretty wide sometimes. You easily fooled me into believing you were actually distraught back when you were having those big arguments with Hesam, even though you were actually just having fun. Still, there's one thing about you that I really hate. To mix metaphors, you play the victim card at a hair trigger, placing yourself as the "little guy" fighting "the man". I really don't appreciate it when you try to paint Erik as the big guy who everyone listens to here because he's the founder (I hate it even more, btw, when Corey actually tries to justify something by "Erik said it"). Not so much because of what it means to Erik, but because it's certainly disrespectful to the rest of us, who hold our opinions for what we consider to be good reasons (reasons which usually do *not* include "Erik said it").
Jess: Well, you're young. It's a package deal, you might have super healing and learning powers but you're also incompetent and tactless. Can't really hold it against you, though, when one can see you getting better every day (no, you're not ready for Kaisership yet). Carry on, sir
Jonas: Mostly, I'm weirded out by your political opinions. How does being a Belgian with enlightened-ish friends from around the world go together with being a neocon anyway? I'd like to hear your life story
. That aside, I kinda want to see you on the Kaiser's throne one day, but you do need to mellow down first. You know, even though most conflict in Shireroth is fake anyway (you can obviously see that considering how little you seem to mind conflict here anyway), you could try mediating rather than instigating it sometime regardless. (actually you seem to be getting there - after the initial signing of Jake's amendments your disinterest didn't exactly fan the flames - it was mostly Erik and me, both previous Kaisers, who were really making a big deal out of it)Max: You'd probably get offended if you weren't included in this list.
Mike: You are annoying on IRC.
Scott: I can't really be the judge of you. I've known you for too long and considered you an enormously nifty person for pretty much all of that time, so I interpret pretty much anything you say in the best possible light. Still... you sure do hold your grudges like a vacuum flask (if Hesam hadn't pointed that habit out, btw, I'd probably have just interpreted that post as you being playfully antagonistic, kinda in a Finland vs. Sweden way). Oh, and it annoys the hell out of people when you try to reason them out of positions they weren't reasoned into in the first place (not referring to religion here, rather things like, say, ethanol), but... yeah, I guess I'm a fan, because it seems to me that that's more of a problem with people than a problem with you.
Everyone else: You don't post in Shireroth or talk on IRC channels where I'm on enough
Everyone: I love you guys. Wouldn't spend so much of my time here if I didn't. I haven't written a post about how much I like you guys because the 60000 character limit would make detailing even why I love any single Shirithian impossible in a one post. I'll keep loving you even if you don't do anything about fixing the things I talked about in this post - in fact, I don't expect you to. Feedback from one guy is just one channel of information to learn about yourself.
Oh, and no, I'm not leaving, or angry, or anything like that. It's just that I was skiing, and skiing makes my brain wonky
