a) to get integrated into any given group hierarchy, individuals should strive to earn the respect from the females of that group, or, at the very least, avoid antagonizing them
b) invariably, the least popular members of a given group, those at its fringes, harbour illusions about themselves being far more popular within that group than they really are.
I wonder, mopiet, if you would say such a thing to anybody IRL, or if you are manly enough to say such things b/c you know that there will be no consequences to yourself. Lastly, intentional insults towards others are also related with lack of respect for self. As much has been said by others here, especially nf3 and Keit.
The thing with the women is especially important, mopiet. Social sanction is heavy against those who attack (or beat) women, for a reason. It is not only about this forum, but about humans. Women, at a very basic level, care about few things: children, family, tribe. What applies to you about this is that, if women see trouble coming to their children, family, tribe, they have the ability to mobilize the group to deal with that trouble. In case you've not yet noticed, you are trouble, and you are being dealt with.
What were you thinking, mopiet, when you wrote above ? That you'd ingratiate yourself with anybody on this forum ? To me it looks rather like you're making a character of yourself. Do you really think that anybody is going to respect you because you hurl gratuitous insults at Laura ? Could it be that you find this forum "funny" because you are the current ROTFL factor here ? Is it really funny to stand in the middle of a group of people where everybody looks scornfully at you and laughs at your expense (as that would be the scene of this thread IRL) ? Is that what you like, mopiet, to be held in contempt by other people ?
And before I forget, that great magician and alchemist, your teacher Philip Gardiner : what is his opinion of your little show here ?

that direct and personal insult to Laura let me remember two things which I've learnt about how human groups of almost ANY kind 'work':mopiet said:
