You see that is another one of your problems... somehow you have gotten into your head that your board ego needs to be a rebellious surfmaster to attract other surfmasters... I remember the first time you came to Oprano, and then tried to pick a fight with Serge, because you have heard he was a "bad ass". Then fastforward till today, and you keep saying things like "out with the old, in with the new", and suspect people to actual think you are someone who is not without a clue?

You judge me from my board ego, and I judge you from your board ego...

I do not judge you except for the negative stuff you spew here, why not help people?

you on the other hand apperantly have not liked me since I first came, and argued with Serge ( whom I have met in person since, and have a great deal of respect for )

although Serge used to bash me all the time on GFY when I first started, and I stood my ground , as I will do ALWAYS with ANYONE ( I did not like being treated as a stupid person when I was new and asking questions, as I think real business people today do not like either)

I do not think you have an ego per se, I just think you have a holyier than thou attitude, and for what reason ?

It has been said over and over again that times have changed, so if you do not like it , why keep coming back to try to preach how smart you are, and how dumb we all are?

If you are rich and successful, then why be here talking to us if we are so unworthy?

if we are worthy, then why not drop the pretencious attitude and actually try to relate to the new crop of people. ?

Again you are wrong... you wish to belive so much that "your time" has arrived, that you have told yourself that "times have changed", and that you belong to the "chosen ones" handpicked by "time" itself.

Time do not change anything or choose anyone, time is at best a measurement. However "people" do change over time. So let me help you with your statement - it should say "people have changed" instead of "time have changed".

Now that we got that cleared, then let me ask you this... have "people" really changed. Does today "newbie" start with a higher insight than before? Do not worry, if you can not answer that question, because there is no answer, since we are individuals.

So with that knowledge I give every new person I meet the first chance to show his/her talent... I do not waste time trying to judge him/her, because they will judge themself. Their words, their actions - its all something which comes from their person, so I wait for those.

Once they have "exposed" themself, then I do not preach, I only tell them what they should already know. That ignorance is bliss, but also a curse that will/can hunt everything they touch. The dumb one will reject that statement day after day after day, until one day he gives up or his life runs out... The smart one embraces it, and uses it, when he meets new people.

So you see I do not think that all people are dumb - its just the dumb people who think that I do, because everytime I speak with them, then I have to remind them how ignorant they are

I don't think Rolo has made the error in judgement joe.

I have heard nothing but positive things from those who have met you in person, but this is the internet and when you give the impression of being an absolute moron on boards, that's how you'll be judged.

You should post less.
Every post you make is dumber than the one before.

What's the OLD TIMERS pearl? Better to be thought to be an idiot than to open your mouth and prove it?

Perhaps if you spent less time bitching about the old timers opinions and more time minding your own business, people wouldn't make errors in judgement about you ...

If this isn't about your ego, why do other people's ego's offend you so much? You seem to be throwing around cash right now like its paper, the biggest mistake many of us OLD TIMERS made ... but you'll never be a player joe ... and I hope your ego realizes soon there's nothing wrong with that, before you really fuck up your future.
