there was nothing pre-school about it; it was a fully considered response to the qualities you have displayed in virtually every post you have made since you became a member on this board. your statement that everyone here is an ego-obsessed maniac is clearly false. most of us are quite self-deprecating, but you, on the other hand are constantly prating about your world records on Twin Galaxies [or whatever its name is], and you seem on the face of it to have no interests in your life apart from this, since you never speak of anything other than videogame records and the process and hardware used to obtain them. granted that this board is centred on a group of videogames, yet the conversation often wanders off to other areas of life. i do not recall your having made a single post that was concerned with anything other than videogames or our direct reactions to your posts. this shows your obsession with this subject, and your obsession is precisely what overpowers your judgement. your bragging, for that is what it is, no matter how much you try to disguise it, is something that is done by virtually no one else here, because they do not consider excellence in videogames to be the be-all and end-all of their existence. but you seem to regard it as exactly that. it is your bragging and your puerile unbalanced outlook that offends other people. it either blinds you to the offensiveness of your posts or it is just simply so powerful that even though you do realise what you are doing, you cannot stop yourself from doing it.
and by the way, claiming that it was a joke is the last defence of someone who has been criticised for being a jerk
