Why would you be a bully?
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

You're many things to many people, but I doubt a bully is one of them.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

trap? :unsure: :P
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

I think you are not a bully, but some thin-skinned people might think so. You are...abrasive.

I think you're comically rude and unpleasant, but you might have caused a handful of posters real offense.

Just so I'm clear, the first part is not a compliment.

Well, because I act like that sometimes in real life (over 12 years I've made some people cry at work). And after watching the last episode of Newsroom, I realized I sometimes act like Jeff Daniels on that show (and I have bouts of insomnia and stressful job etc.) and they called him a bully there. :P

Also, I was told some people at work are afraid of me.  :ph34r:

couldn't we just have a "The Grand Is Martinus Special? Of Course He Is! Thread" thread which you could ressurect every month? Would be much more efficient.

No. you may try to be a bully, but aren't very good at it.

My guess is that they simply hate you, but being outranked by you, they stay clear of you.

I concur.  We should invoke the "Separate But Stupid" clause for Languish.

No, gays get bullied, they can't be bullies; just like blacks can't be racist.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

We could just call it the "attention whore thread".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
