Philosopher Kierkegaard on the average Red99 forum dweller
 

"There is a form of envy of which I frequently have seen examples, in which an individual tries to obtain something by bullying. If, for instance, I enter a place where many are gathered, it often happens that one or another right away takes up arms against me by beginning to laugh; presumably he feels that he is being a tool of public opinion. But lo and behold, if I then make a casual remark to him, that same person becomes infinitely pliable and obliging. Essentially it shows that he regards me as something great, maybe even greater than I am: but if he can’t be admitted as a participant in my greatness, at least he will laugh at me. But as soon as he becomes a participant, as it were, he brags about my greatness.

That is what comes of living in a petty community."

Sounds kind of ego-centric and borderline schizophrenic.

Is this guy the philosopher of nerds with these symptoms and narcissist personality disorder?

What is his opinion on people who are completely rejected by a community yet continue to return?

Sounds like a lot of people here....

We might act self-important but this guy takes it to a new level with believing someone is laughing to attack him and he is able to talk to "them" with an off-hand comment to prevent them from laughing and "taking up arms against" him.

What. the. fuck.

Yeah it's a bit extreme. It all depends on why he is getting laughed at as soon as he enters rooms I guess, and who's doing it. Sounds a little fat though.
