See, that's the reason why I'm posting in this section. I would like to see more interesting things done with manipulation artistry and flourishing. But what would people rather do? Either cut each other's throats or try to make peace with jackals. Could there be anything more detrimental...

It's getting dangerously close enough to priapism as it is without you grabbing for it. Jesus, dude. My whole point was that genres exist for a reason. But all you did was cry like a spoiled brat that it was too complicated and we should dumb it down to cater to you.

Don't compare webcam wankers to Jeff McBride. That's a ****ing insult. Now prepare for a revelation. I actually do practice XCM casually. They're useful exercises for keeping my hands flexible. But I don't use them in my act because it would be retarded. I portray a scholar and...

It took you that long to figure out that I find laziness and deliberate ignorance/stupidity offensive? Jesus, the rest of the boards figured that out months ago.

And that is an excuse for learning **** I have no interest in? Examples.

I used to think the same way. Then I pulled my head out of my ass and realized there's a difference between being self-important and respecting what I do. Second person to miss the point. I've already said that this phenomenon is not exclusive to cyberspace, but it's actually much worse...

I was saying you were wrong about everyone hating copperfield because I don't hate him. And I didn't agree with your sentiment because I found it pompous and immature with undertones of fanboy. Present them and maybe I will. So far all you've done is sulk and pout. I haven't even...

What would be the benefit here? I'm confused.

I don't know why I bother sometimes. ****ing philistines...

So you would pass up a thumb tip because you can't let people just grope your hands?

It's too early in the morning for me to track down the videos, but have it your way. Hovercard Rising Card Anything with a thumb tip This sleight of hand narcissism is, always has been, and always will be bull****. So gimmicks are easier, huh? Aside from the fact that's a lie, so what...

Spare me. The whole point is that these labels exist for people who actually care. Telling us to throw out the genre system because you think it's too complicated is foolish and selfish. It's like taxonomy. I'm sure you don't give a flying **** what the scientific name for a timber wolf or...

The extreme cult of personality around Andrei. Don't forget that Darian was smacked down for standing up for himself against Andrei a couple months ago. Class is a good thing to have, but it doesn't excuse evasiveness. I've known some very classy individuals in the past who make...

Because of course it's not as if the person behind this project should be giving us any kind of incentive.

Two things. First of all, magic is theater. There is nothing elitist about that. If it were elitist, I'd be trying to keep other people from being a part of it. Second, it does hurt things when new blood is wasting their potential on a bunch of drooling, sweaty parasites. Not everyone is...

I show a little muscle and I spend a little cash But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash Seriously, what reason do I have to take part in this?

This also goes back to my analogy with the webcomic collective. The supremely masturbatory Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards are, as the name suggests, a series of awards given out every year as voted on by the people who make webcomics. It's nothing more than an excuse to piggyback on one...

Aaaaaand... there I've completely lost interest. I'm going to go throw up before this gets any worse.

I'm skeptical of the whole affair and don't fully believe either side. However... part of me is sorely tempted to take De'vo's side because every time that horrifyingly cliched, "you're just jealous," argument used to explain a disagreement I become filled with righteous, manly fury and want to...

What's in it for me? What do I get out of this?
