The reason I ask is that he strikes me as a strong, independent go-getter. A man who grabs the proverbial bull by the horns. A successful young entrepreneur falling victim to the tall poppy neckbeards of BigFooty who continue to project their jealousy as a result of the position he is in today and the life he leads that will never be more than a pipe dream for you peasants.

So what if his Mother brought him an Oroton brolly, a freshly pressed shirt and a towel to absorb the excess precipitation that had uncouthly struck him along his travels? Be proud of who you are, and laugh at the insecure types that mock you Croweater.
I don't know if you're taking the piss, but after some gutless loathsome dillweed called my Mum a slut and my Dad an alcoholic, I'm actually going to chalk that up as a win for me.

But more than that, I just love how heroic the rest of you are in your little mob on the internet. It's so adorable. You're probably expecting me to up and leave, because if the majority of the interaction I have on here is roundly negative, then what's the point? Right?

Wrong. I will continue to be here, and I will continue to say whatever the f*ck I want. Mainly to prove a point. The point that people can continue cyberbullying me as a part of a pack (as well as having a go at anyone who stands up for me), and that I won't back down. I don't give a shit if it's an important meeting at work or a slow Thursday morning where I'm able to talk shit on an online forum; I will not be defeated. It just won't happen.

I am a winner. My life is a living testament to that fact. I'm damn proud of my life. And I'm so very happy that it's better than yours.

crowy why don't you ever let the swear filter do its job.

You're not actually supposed to type out campaigner and put a random asterisk in there. No self censoring. It's actually one of the main bf rules. Good to see its moderated.

Speaking of auto correct, Chief can we change the word asterisk so it comes up as Essendon?

I'm also a mergers & acquisitions lawyer, but no Oroton umbrella here.

Like every other mergers & acquisitions lawyer I have ever met, I use an umbrella emblazoned with my firm logo.

Not out of some feeling of gratitude that my work really makes a difference (god I sound like an advert) but because I get given them by HR.

And when they break... I get given another one.

Yep I'm with you there. Never minded his posting but that last paragraph is way over the top.
Crowy' post are sort of a guilty pleasure of mine to be honest. I love the ott pretentiousness each one is laced with and I love it even more when he sucks people in and gets in arguments with them. And yes I admit, that's me in some cases too.

Case in point the other night when I made the stupid comment about Geelong and "let someone else win it".

But I have to agree sometimes he posts things that are just.... Too much.

Be proud of who you are by all means but there's a limit.

No one else to blame but myself for how that worked out ...

Crowy - I like you, you seem a good lad. But statements like your last sentence there don't make you look like a winner
I've spent the past year trying the "I know my family is well off but I'm still a normal guy I think" narrative.

How well has that worked out? Now I'm trying a different tact. If they want to be f*ckwits to me, then I'll give it right back. Twice as hard if need be. You think a year-long barrage of cyberbullying is cool? You think a series of posters lambasting everything you say and do is cool? You think people mocking you and your family is cool? You think making derogatory comments about ones partner is cool? You think people harping on shit that I've said ages ago is cool? You think one onto I don't know, fifty, is cool? You think that moderators, instead of doing their job, join in on the fun and call you, what was it, a "lying piece of shit", is cool?

And I'm wrong for telling people where to shove it?

Yeah, I don't think so.

That is predictable and a normal mechanism of defense.

I much prefer hook handled ones. It makes it much easier to hold the umbrella over myself when it's raining, and push Miss 2 in her pram at the same time.

I think that's reasonable. and you can hang the umbrella on the pram when finished.

+1 for croweaters posts being a guilty pleasure. Always gets a thread fired up. Dont even feel the need to contribute just happy to read and laugh at the replies. Always thought he was SonofReep elias but i guess not. More umbrella, million dollar first house, happy family, expensive watch, expensive cologne and acquisition law stories pleae
