Well, I take offense to your posts because they're made by an insufferable
egomaniac. You're annoying me to me. Kind of like a fucking flea that I
can't get rid of. Your posts are filled with nothing but bullshit,
blather, boasting, and idiocy. You actually seem to think that most of us
here want to see you talk about yourself. We don't. We'd rather go a week
between Chris Byrne egopost-fests. I'm serious. You're fucking annoying.

Your entire posts are nothing but "I did this" or "I studied that" or "I
worked here". Count the number of "I's" sometime; if it doesn't concern
you personally it's apparently not worth talking about!

Most people here are utterly convinced you're just a pathological liar.
You might be nice in person, I dunno, but on here you come across as an
annoying pud. So give us a rest from the life of Chris Byrne, please.

We need it.
