Shakespeare, in his day, was more like television in this day. But he was kind of like intelligent television, like an olde Englishe West Wing. So you gotta admire that he was able to interject some thought into entertainment aimed at the common denominator.

hmmm.... Ye Olde Weste Winge... I wonder if NBC would run it?

That doesn't really have anything to do with what I said, but okay. All I was saying is that he was a writer for the common people, like television is today.

It's perfectly acceptable for him to state he prefers a particular artistic medium.

That last dig at pretty much everyone here, on the other hand, isn't acceptable. I did get a laugh out of how much of a free spirit he considers himself. With his Final Fantasy avatar and signature... yes, he's really innovating the Internet.

As far as the YouTube video is concerned, there's another video stating that it's a clever fake. If it's genuine, then it's incredible.

It wasn't aimed at everybody here. It was aimed at those that have been cynical the past few weeks while I have been active on Allegro.cc. And when they start beef with me there is rarely anybody else that chimes in to oppose them so it's me against Allegro. It doesn't look like I asked for a fight in those threads so I don't know what the beef is about.

I said I think for myself. That has nothing to do with innovating the Internet. And my avatar and signature have nothing to do with it either. I have them because I like Final Fantasy VII. When looking for something to post that expresses me in one way or another I felt those were the best to use.

Just because somebody is a free thinker doesn't mean they do everything their own way. It just means they don't follow the crowd just to be part of the crowd. Rather, they make their own decisions.

So you are not part of the crowd that adores Final Fantasy?

Then there are two kinds of FF fans: those who like it and those who don't like it, but are fans anyway because they like to be part of the crowd, is that right?

Hahaha... popular music is a great example...

My first exposure to pop music in the wild.

"Huh? This music sucks, why are they playi --"
girl walks by
"oh, I get it now"

Having one thing in common doesn't make you a clone. Other FF fans will have other skills and knowledge that I don't have; and I have skills and knowledge that they don't have.

It again comes down to the gray area: this, like most other things, is not black and white. You don't just have FF fans and not FF fans. You have FF fans of varying degree; some are fan enough to use FF media to represent them and some just enjoy it. Others go to conventions and role play on the lawn...

What do you think the odds are of somebody using that exact avatar and/or signature? It's not impossible, but it's also not probable; especially on A.cc.

Liking something doesn't have to define who you are. I like a lot of things that wouldn't be stereotypical of FF fans.

blnRampageHasPoint = ("express" == "define");

Allow me to reword: one FF fan does not necessarily equal another FF fan.

You said it a lot better than I did, but you didn't use Shakespeare. So, you lose.

Bah. If you're going to fail at giving input, you ought to fail spectacularly.

Ops, can anyone tell me what was happening except arguing about fanoboymanship? I skipped last few posts. Oh besides how this exactly went off? I mean we were talking paint skills and then all of a sudden...
