Nor do I, I was just proving the point that you would come back to this thread...couriers I could care less what your position is, but I didn't judge you when the fit hit the shan for the QoTM, I don't like being pegged as a Horns baiter...I could care less about a lot of the things Horns does, but I couldn't resist with this whole post...I don't think God Help Us was exactly an abrasive or confrontational post...one could think of Michael Jackson's children and think the same thing...it's not so much the kid...it's the idea that there will be a little Horns running around...I wish him all the best in family matters, but of course, I was taken out of context, so I decided to be a little abrasive...I don't hold much respect for Horns, but I think that the feeling is mutual.

Get down with your bad self couriers...you da man, guess you've been reading up on Horns recommended literature.

[Ksyrup]

To get somewhat back on topic...

HM, do you have relatives near you? If not, be prepared to give up a lot of your life to your child. We have no one near us (although my wife's folks may be moving to within 2-3 hours of us, thankfully), and we've only had a handful of nights to ourselves since our daughter was born. We don't really like the idea of babysitters, so we use them sparingly, but it's been hard. Since August 1999, I've seen exactly 2 movies at the theater (well, 4, if you count The Piglet Movie and Jungle Book II).

If you do have relatives around, especially grand parents, abuse the shit out of their babysitting services. I look forward to being able to drive a couple of hours on a Friday night, dropping the kid off, and heading to the beach or flying somewhere for a quick weekend away with the wife.

Qwikshot,

Your feelings for HM really doesn't bother me. What bothers me is when people say shit about others without the thought of remaining silent instead of rude. I never once categorized you in that group yet you felt it was necessary to say, "and couriers...fuck off man, go back to hassling John Galt.." as if I had. Your remark towards me doesn't hurt in the least but that doesn’t change the fact that it was uncalled for. I had done nothing to you up to that point and didn't deserve to be brought into your personal beef with Horns.

EDIT: Take my thoughts for what you may consider them to be worth but please don't take them as flame bait because I have no intention of getting into something stupid with you or anyone else. At least not until Saturday.

Fair enough, I apologize to you, I felt you had corralled me into that category. Yeah, yeah, flame bait...whatever...anyway, I apologize and I will move on. Saturday I believe I'll be watching the FLyers, so you can have free reign of the board.

Excellent point. My nearest family is 3 hours away. My wife's nearest family is 30+ hours away. It sucks, not only for getting out (my 16 year old stepdaughter babysits), but in case of emergency it can be a bitch. I don't even want to tell you what I had to go through to get the kids to school and daycare when my wife had to fly back to NJ for a funeral two weeks ago.

I like the kinder, gentlier HM. No longer does he say he doesn't care, now he feels pain like the rest of us...Group hugs make everything better...

And if it is true, congrats on the kid and good luck.

Like I have said before, it has become painfully obvious that some members are only interested in making themselves feel better by making other feel like crap. Horns has not asked for any of this bullshit by simply posting about the possibility of becoming a father. The disrespect is sickening. Past behavior should remain in the past at some point and a discussion about someone possibly having a child is as good a place to start as any.

Those that have attacked Horns in this thread for the sake of being funny have failed. They have also failed at making him look bad. Their only achievement was to have made themselves look like Asses.

This kind of backlash only goes to make the fanboys of this board look as stupid as the fanboys of the OOTP board that they always rag on.

Go hang with your little friend.

I think Eminem can relate and he sums it up quite nicely with these few lines...



HornsManiac

I just don't get why you keep coming back here and getting upset when people don't like you. And if your response is "Who am I?" I am nobody. I enjoy the I'm with stupid contests, reading the FOF threads, reading some of the funnier posts, and occiasionaly getting into a war debate. I don't pretend that I am an active, popular member of the community. I started coming here about the same time as you and Devanyfan. Unfortunatly your trolling was quite obvious from the beginning and we lost a better member of the community because of it. But do you really think that 50% of the board cares when you post? And then you get pissed off when they show that they don't. Every post of yours turns into you telling 10 or 15 people to fuck off, so I will ask you again why do you do this to yourself?

Gee, I wonder who the real ass is in this thread?

Actually I don't think I've been harsh at all...I think I was meaner to couriers...but I do feel that some of the jabs you get are warranted, you will always be remembered for certain actions, and you always are here...don't expect the dust to ever settle, and you can't go from one extreme to the other...

Regardless of whatever jabs I've given to you, I do hope that your wife has a healthy pregnacy, and you have a healthy child...if it turns out that your wife isn't pregnant, it should definately make you sit and think over whether or not you want to make sacrifices yet. Either way, best of luck.

You just don't get it, do you? Sadly, you really don't. This is not about demanding people "like" me, but about people respecting me and my right to post here. I couldn't care less who likes and dislikes me, but I do care about being constantly abused. There are quite a few poeple here that I strongly dislike, but I don't attack them every time they post something.

HornsManiac

dola....

Also, I stay here because I know for a fact that I have far more supporters than you think I have. Look at the numbers of people who are starting to defend me. Plus, I have many more private messages from people who actually do respect me, but those people don't want to risk their own pristine reputations here by publicly speaking out on my behalf. Maybe if they could do so without fear of retribution they would. Regardless, they support me and I know it and that is what matters the most.

On t'other hand, you'll have to respect people's rights to not respect you, and to post in such a fashion. It's never going to change.

Horns, I have nothing against you. I think you're entertaining. I think you're a troll. I think you post what you do (many times) to get a rise from people. You're not an idiot. You know whats coming. That's why I never get why you go and pull the victim card. It just doesn't fit you well. I honestly believe I have a subjective viewpoint here, and all I've ever seen is you throw some bait out there, one of them bites, and BLAMMO a flame war erupts.

Either deal with it and stop bitching, deal with and keep trying to paint yourself a martyr, or find another bulletin board. (And don't try to say I'm telling you to leave, that's not it at all. These are the three options you have.) I'd pick the first, but definitely don't keep playing the "I'm an innocent victim" game. Like the flame wars it instigates, it gets old fast.

And congrats on the kid coming. I hope he/she grows up to be might cocky and funny.

[wbonnell]

Horns- just curious, but is this abrasive personality (not that there's anything wrong with that ) created stricly for online exploration? Personally I've been with this community for nearly 4 years, and there are only a select few I don't care for (won't read their posts).

Is your real life personality rife with controversy as well?

Actually, my real life is completely opposite of HornsManiac's. I am among the most likeable men you would ever meet and have absolutely zero enemies in my life right now. With that said, HornsManiac has been pushed to madness and that is the reason he is there now.

Alright... it wasn't really that funny, but, then again, I'm not usually up this late. (Note to Horns - this is to be expected during your impending fatherhood)

[scooper]

Dola.

In all seriousness, good luck, Horns, if in fact she is pregnant. I have no advice as we are working on our first now as well. I can see it being a huge lifestyle adjustment, though. My wife and I have discussed some of the changes we will have to make from little things like watching our language to no more spontaneous uh playing around anytime anywhere in the house. One thing we've decided is that there is no way to be completely prepared. We'll just learn it as we go as all first time parents do.

[Maple Leafs]

Horns, Horns, Horns...

You seem to want the fallout from last year's "little incident" to just go away. But here's the problem: you never dealt with what happened in any way that would make it go away. From day one, you handled it in about the worst way possible: the denials, the conspiracy theories, the attempted cover-up, right through to the bizarre alter-egos you created to defend yourself. It was honestly one of the most bizarre online meltdowns I've ever seen anyone have, and it will probably live in infamy on this forum forever.

I'd offer you the advice to come clean about the whole thing, accept responsibility, apologize and move on, but I know it would be wasted. So my only other advice would be to get used to it. You'll always be a punchline around here.

P.S. Congratulations on the new addition the family. Really.

Straying on topic again....

Ugh, this is the truth. I don't think we've used a babysitter, except when my mom has been in town or we've visited my wife's parents in Florida. I can't even remember the last movie we went to...Phantom Menace maybe? We don't even watch them at home, there's no way you can pay attention seriously to anything for more than about 15 minutes. And by time they get to bed you're too damned tired to do much of anything, or have a million things you still need to do.

[revrew]

Horns, I didn't even see this thread until it was in its third page. I didn't read the posts that must have so offended you, and I haven't read 1/5 of the posts in this thread. But I'm guessing from what I did read that you haven't gotten what you originally hoped for.

Daddying is the most life-changing experience you may ever have and the most important role in society. You will mess it up, but you may also find forgiveness and grace beyond anything you've ever known. I'm actively involved in messing up my kids for life right now, but am finding each day is another chance to become the kind of man I always hoped I'd be.

I discovered I was a father unexpectedly when I was 18. Since then, my wife and I have had 7 more children (though most of those were expected ). If you have sincere questions, please PM me.

I say, as a preventative measure, we go on and ban Spawn of HM from the FOFC board right now, to save ourselves a lot of future trouble.

[Daimyo]

First of all, congrats and good luck on the kid. I can't even imagine how my life would change if my wife and I had a child right now.

Second of all, about the larger issue. Why do we have to stop making fun of Horns? No one ever complains when we make fun of Dave Dial, STYX, or any of the other infamous people from fofc's past. You think Horns gets shit on... just see what would happen if one of those guys would post here overtly.

Like it or not, what Horns did is as bad or worse than any of those guys and will forever be a part of our lore. Its actually amazing to me that he hasn't been banned yet... he has certainly "earned" it.

I don't think that Horns is destined to always be mocked, but he's going to have to adjust his attitude for anything to change. As Marmel mentioned above, you have to earn respect and right now Horns is the negative big time. Until he understands the hole he needs to dig out of for a lot of people to respect him, he's never going to get the respect he wants. Of course I'm sure he'll say he doesn't need/want the respect of people on the internet, but if that's true I guess he shouldn't care when we mock him either.

He puts dads in quotation marks as to be mocking anyone who is on here who actually is a father of a child.
