Over the last couple months especially (though it's existed as a problem for some time), I've gained something of a reputation as an overly bitter troll of the far-left variety (as well as general attention whoring). I've cognitively understood that I'm probably not bringing much positive contribution to the forum, though by virtue of having a rather dull life outside Atlas (and more and more in Atlas 
) and having been in a chronically poor mood for a while now (though I've felt a bit better lately), I haven't really made an effort to improve myself as a poster.
So I'm sorry to those I've needlessly gone after or tried to get a rise out of, and to the forum in general for being something of a pretentious attention whore. Will I be fine after this? Of course not, and I still have rather radical political views (though that doesn't excuse me being a poor man's opebo about them). But hopefully with some encouragement I can improve myself and reestablish myself as a valued and veteran contributor to the US Election Atlas Forum. 
Regardless, I have strong opinions especially on an issue that motivates me as much as the one discussed in this topic. And in general I think you'll find that the worst excesses of "sage" as you call it have been tempered.
Over the last couple months especially (though it's existed as a problem for the past year), I've gained something of a reputation as an overly bitter troll of the far-right variety (as well as general sage-shaming). I've cognitively understood that I'm probably not bringing much positive contribution to the revolution, though by virtue of having a rather dull life outside Wall Street (and more and more in Wall Street
) and having been in a chronically neoliberal mood for a while now (though I've felt a bit socialistic lately), I haven't really made an effort to improve myself as a friend.
So I'm sorry to those I've needlessly gone after or tried to get a rise out of Snowstalker, and to the forum in general for being something of a centrist troll. Will I be fine after this? Of course not, and I still have rather normal views (though that doesn't excuse me being a poor man's oakvale about them). But hopefully with some encouragement I can improve myself and reestablish myself as a valued and veteran contributor to the People's Revolution.
