No doubt. But two things.
1.) Nate was ridiculed 5, 10 times more than he ridiculed.
2.) People ridiculed Nate for what they believed were his close-minded opinions, never realizing the hypocrisy that ridculing someone for their opinions is itself close-minded.
If you're debating with someone, attack the idea, not the person.
ObiJo, I can completely agree with this. Nate was ridiculed far more than he actually doled it out. I used to argue with nate in #stripcreator because he began to condemn me for having premarital sex. Not the IDEA of premarital sex, but ME.
I have no doubt Nate does exactly that. My point is that if you reciprocate a personal attack, you need to drop all pretense of being more open-minded than him because to maintain that stance is hypocritical.
And when people continue attacking him in a kind of ha-ha nate sucks kind of way, way beyond the point of him replying, that's no longer taking the piss. That's let's-pick-on-the-weak-guy junior-high bullshit.
Lamer posts like this one about noobs = his beliefs
Well... in this case maybe not. It was my impression from the beginning of this thread that Nate was fucking around and people just missed it so they could play the let's-kick-nate-in-the-groin game. If boorite or I would have posted this exact thread, you would have interpreted it as intended to be funny, not only because of your impression of us, but also because of the way it was worded.
