Haha. Nev, Michael, you two don't understand each other at all.
I don't think I completely agree with this, but between the two of us, I'm not the one getting my undies in a bundle. (my undies make my *** look great, though...hahaha)
To me, Michael is a grumpy old man, who also happens to be pretty smart. He's wise, seen a lotta ****, and offers his "wisdom" here and in turn he is worshiped around here like some kind of father figure. He obviously enjoys this role so any time someone challenges his ways they're met with hostility. I understand life experience is a great thing and being able to pass it on is even greater--but it's also important to realize that giving advice and knowledge is not the same as pushing your own life experiences on people. When I disagree with him I'm met with hostility--probably because of age bias. I'm relatively young, in the grand scheme of things, so people look at that and assume that due to my perceived lack of knowledge and/or experience that I have no business having my own opinion or ideas that differ from the rest of the Glade--well, to that, I say f*** you..... and then people wonder why the Glade grows so stagnant. It's simply a case of being the biggest fish in the tank. For a wise man he sure has a lot of growing up to do. There's an entire ocean out there. So quit with the personal attacks, that **** is not welcome here.
