Remember a couple of days ago when he ranted about trolls and talked about us saying he has an addiction? Claiming WE are the crazy ones? Well he also threw out the often talked about idea of him continuing this shit because it's the only way to win, in his mind. Except he projected it onto us, asserting that the reason we keep going is because we feel like we would lose if we stopped.
Setting aside how much this displays that Phil reads the Farms more than he interacts with his wife, and can actually retain information when he actually WANTS to, it's interesting that he claims that, when, in that very same rant, he asserts us to matter not at all. Someone claimed he gets tips because of trolls/detractors, and he naturally got pissy about that suggestion, but he doesn't seem to realize that it doesn't add up when you assert your detractors to be insignificant AND that they would qualify as "losing" if they left you alone and stopped talking shit about you.
Which is it, Phil? You can't have both, and funnily enough, your insistence on doing so, constantly, is what gives us things to talk about here. Lack of awareness is indeed the hallmark of a lolcow, because holy shit do you have to be dim to not recognize the kinds of e-celebs who DON'T get shit on regularly here. I'm no brilliant person myself, but it's still very obvious to me that there's a reason why, for example, when I got curious enough to research discussion of Skyrim modders at the Farms, Trainwiz isn't on anyone's shit list, but Arthmoor very much is. Over the many years I've hung out on the internet, I've encountered maybe a handful of examples of someone having a hate following who didn't make any sense to. I don't always agree with the hate following, but I at least GET it.
The lolcows never do, the most they manage is knowing of the others and trying vainly to not be the biggest one, but only ever by doing the same thing they always do: deny reality. Which is what Phil does when he projects "keep playing in order to avoid losing" onto us. There have obviously been lunatics in the detractor community, but not even the SoK or Fred Fuchs have sunk tens of thousands of dollars into collecting wrestling jpegs. Nor has the Farms been taken from us numerous times, without any options beyond moving on to a different site, and even if it was, it would have nothing to do with our discussions being insane.
And of course, this is to say nothing of the fact that this thread alone is 385 pages of discussion that happened entirely because Phil keeps playing Champions despite it being ruined, and having ruined him financially and psychologically. He loves to act like the ball is always in someone elses court, doesn't he? Almost as if that's to skirt responsibility...
