If it makes you feel any better, you won't be on the receiving end of any of that behaviour from me anymore.
if i've crossed the line, i apologise. i'm awesome because: I'm a Star Trek fan-fic writer who doesn't go mad with uberships and fan-wank I'm writing Action Force fan-fic I've written a book I'm a Transformers fan who can quote huge chunks of dialogue verbatim. I am not a sheep, I don't like Watchmen and I'm not afraid to say it. I like Doctor Who. nu and Classic I bought my red nose for Comic Relief. I am secure in myself and my personality. i refuse to comply with gender stereotypes. i refuse to comply to fanboy stereotypes.
I grew up in a culture where self praise is utterly frowned upon, so it's a concept I have a great deal of trouble understanding.
That's more like it. There's a reason why only Britain is 'Great'. After a meeting last night for a documentary I'm tempted to change my mind on my answer. I might not be awesome, but at least I can be entertaining
Actually, I think this is simply of my slightly misusing the word "ego," in the same way the poster to whom I was responding misused it -- and the way a lot of people misuse it, to mean arrogance, or an exaggerated sense of self-worth, when really it is just a sense of self-worth, or self esteem. I agree with you entirely!
