Actually, Wiz did do that. Please see above. In my view, it appears that BP simply made made the mistake of arguing against one of the Org's "sacred cows" (there are a few of them: people who have been here so long and have so many friends that they seem to garner majority support no matter how rude they are in an argument).
I'm not really that close to Wiz; I've only really encountered him in the Osprey thread, and haven't really seen eye to eye with him. Rest assured therefore, he is no "Sacred Cow". I just felt the need to stick up for him in the face of unnecessary aggression. Byzantine_Prince deserves everything that comes to him - he's been insulting loads of people and is incredibly rude. I have far more respect for Wizard that BP. "Sacred Cow" indeed - can you not see that BP is just an arrogant fool who won't even acknowledge anyone else's opinion?

Thanks for youe somewhat kind words Papewaio. I always appreciate constructive critisisms on my behaviour which I admit is quite wrong at times. It's something I always strive hard to control and often fail and let myself become quite an offensive person. This is in real life as well. So I figure if I can fix it here I can fix it in real life as well.
I think my behaviour comes from an attitude I have, and also my ego and pride. I forget that other people have convictions of their own and that I must respect that. It's quite an odd personality disorder actually, it might be caused by the fact that I might have ADHD or something. I am always moving some part of me, whether it be my hand(with something in it) or knees or my feet, I am always moving, relentlessly. I also find it extremely hard to sleep sometimes, because my brain is on hyperdrive all the time. I find myself having 22-24 hour sleepless days sometimes. Oh and that makes the agitation worse. I know I'm not suposed to be like this, but I can't really do much to stop it sometimes. Ahhh, the wonders of the brain.
This is not to say that I can't concentrate(on things that interest me), or can't think, because I think I do a little to much of both those things. That's why I see mistakes in people's judgements and try hard to convince them otherwise. So much of my thinking time is spent on analyzing issues that I tend to be convinced of certain things that I feel such strong conviction for that I forget that I can't be offensive. I guess it sounds like a poor argument but I beleave I most definetly have some sort of disorder. It has been proven over and over, I simply do not, and will not get along with 90% of people, especially those with stupidity, and ignorance. There's gotta be something wrong from that fact alone. I don't mean to sound pathetic or anything, I am simply analyzing this in order to fix it, although even when I do, I doubt it's gonna last.
I've read about other famous people having this problem. Mozart for example had this exact same problem. Read any of his letters and memoirs and you'll know what I mean.
Anyways if you read this, take into consideration next time you unload on me guys.
That's the funniest thing I've read in a while. I take it ADHD is a common excuse for acting like a moron these days? And I hate to burst your bublle, but you're not famous. "Other famous people" indeed - are you that egotistical that you'd put yourself in the same bracket as Mozart? As for 'unloading' on you, if you want respect, why don't you show it to other people also, and stop unloading on them. Your actions warrant no pity and you certainly won't get any from this end. Drop the act; no one with any intelligence round here is going to believe that crap.
