Me calling you an ignorant troll is comparable to a hissy fit? I've been calling you that ever since our first attempt at a failed conversation, perhaps its taken you this long to realize I wasn't joking? As for any number of characteristics you care to share over my idol, I hadn't slept with my best friend's mother at 16. Nor am I a 40-year-old high priced litigator or anti-Trust lawyer? I've never smoked cigars and haven't much care for scotch.. on second note, not as often as he'd care to.
While imitation may be a form of flattery, it says very little about the imitator.

Snap out of your school girl's fantasy and get a life! Of your own.


Is this before or after you still have yet to disclose when that brain of yours will finally arrive?  Were you apparently too ignorant to notice the other reference to another childhood hero of mine in the OP, or must I consider that life of yours to not include thoroughly reading any information provided?

Much like you, Don Quixote was a mental case with delusions of grandeur, and an imaginary girlfriend. But you can still take a lesson from the buffoon:

"My judgement is now clear and unfettered, and that dark cloud of ignorance has disappeared, which the continual reading of those detestable books of knight-errantry had cast over my understanding."   -- Don Quixote

Yes, but it was as much his freedom and choice to believe in the best of humanity and that he was actually making a difference with his own sense of chivalry.  If anything, he was a conflicted, elderly man who sought the best humanity had to offer, yet died depressed and alone after being grounded in reality by those who "knew better than he."  (Note: Don Quixote was a true example of what it is to be a flawed antihero, and his noble goals and ambitions were far more to live for than a number of tangible limitations you could cite.)

Without Moridin, you cease to be anything worth noting even as a footnote, yet you feel that your wit is unsurpassed?  And you call me delusional.

So far, your role models include a manipulative womaniser, and a deluded buffoon. Clearly why you're so screwed-up.

Someone who is far too many more ways to count smarter, wiser, and more learned than yourself.  If I were to try and count your influences or role-models throughout one's journey, your stubbornness and ignorance would prevent even the slightest of wind to escape.  Although he'd been someone I'd even shown contempt toward, he enabled me to look beyond the supposed walls of my previous limited understanding.  He's also more of a satirical writer than your constant bouts of idiocy and unfounded arrogance.

As for my delusions, I have led a quite eventful life full of sacrifice, determination, sorrow, regret, pain, and more importantly, hope.  I'd rather cling to any notion of peace and contentment than settle for the limitations others place upon oneself.  No, if anything, I'd call myself more conflicted and desperate to carve into the world my own understanding of what is worth everything and nothing.  Following my close bout with death, I have learned not to be pushed around too easily by children; therefore, your words will continue to be as they first began: Meaningless and folly.

There is a time and place for everything, yet sophos clearly is no exception.  Courteous disagreement fuels wisdom, not strife.  As for his purpose, clearly I am no judge apart from my own limited understanding.

His purpose becomes pretty clear if you read his other responses to other topics.

Which he clearly hasn't any power beyond what we're willing to relinquish ourselves. If he ceases to have any control over what I converse within my own topic, his supposed power is meaningless, as well. However, it has been clear that his constant rebuttals have been nothing more than an attempt to create strife, not progression of ideas. Could you accept that I've been selfishly using his ignorance in order to further my own sense of understanding toward what I want in life?

I could accept that and do find it amusing. I just wish he was a more entertaining troll in the meantime.

It is quite depressing that he causes me to miss our most hated and despised troll within my stay here on livewire, Moridin.  He was far more entertaining than his mere lackeys now.  What good are fleas without their host to feed from?

"...life full of sacrifice, determination, sorrow, regret, pain ...  close bout with death..."

With such role models, and now this Moridin character, it's no wonder. Unless you aspire for higher and more positive ambitions, your life will remain meaningless and folly.

Fleas are useless and meaningless without any purpose to speak of, sophos, much like yourself.  By the way, you've officially bored me.  Bye.

I think sophos may have been a little over the top with his criticisms, and perhaps even insults; but doesn't the crux of what he's said ring a little true?

It is important to have good, solid role models. Before we know it, we would have followed in their footsteps.

Just my two cents.

Without purpose, just about everything would be useless; not just fleas.

Similarly, mimicry, without a sense of self, is not unlike parasitism.
