    Many a poster in here loves him/her/their some I-told-you-so moments, or the inverse of I-told-you-so: you-told-me-so but you were wrong! And I get it, you got them! Nice work!

    But for the love of god this poster finds it annoying AND embarrassing (b and c above!). Now just *maybe* I've broken protocol by posting this, but all these gotcha posts can fuck off.

    And I'm torn because I like many of the posters posting them (yeah I'm talking about you), but sometimes you've got to help those you love and I'm here to help: this is like the repercussions of winning an argument with your spouse, ie sometimes when you win you lose.

    In other, other words, and I'm still talking to you gotcha-people, the gotcha! is for you and you alone. I'm going out on a limb that NO ONE thinks more of you when you point such things out...quite to the contrary...

    And I know, I know it's a forum, but I can't be alone in this...or can I...?

    I'm the smartest dog in this forum.

    I hate that Natebishop3 guy. He's an asshole and I'm way smarter than he is.

    I mean that wasn’t my intent…but
    I get it. I really thought we could anonymously shame people into stopping. I’m an optimistic ie idiot.

    I really like most everyone in here. I’m just throwing it out in general. No specifics.

    I was wrong once last year but everyone has me on ignore so no-one noticed and I'm not going to say shit about it either.

    It's one thing to have a cool prediction and turn out to be right. But, bragging is a fools errand. I myself have used I told you so in good humor. But, I draw the line at being spiteful and prideful in such a manner. No need to beat dead horses and such.

    I think all of us have had our fair share of being wrong. Many us have too been lucky enough to be right on occasion.

    All three letters that separate inferior from superior are lower. That's how the word exists!

    I think Propagandist is referencing posters who end posts with "BAM!"

    I figured that. I just thought if I said that at the beginning then there wouldn't be any problems.
