I was cheering him on.Now we are all here to cheer on men who has taken steps towards change, and accept the inherent risk that is brings, it's the only constant in life, Richard has displayed a move towards that, let's cheer him on and wish him the best of luck.
Look at the vibe of my posts about the Lambo. I congratulate him (genuinely) and then offer some friendly advice about avoiding fakers.
What do I get? The usual abuse.
I’ll cheer on pretty much anyone here, I draw the line when they start being abusive simply because they can’t take any kind of criticism or advice.
Does he? In my experience he just gets more and more antagonistic even when he’s lost completely.Sure. I agree with that. But he came at me just the same as he did anyone else, and he chills right out on you if you can hold your own, even if he disagrees.
Dealing with Richard is like handling women in many ways.
Just as I next a woman, I think it’s time for me to next Richard.
I don’t want to see him permabanned because I think he needs help.
At the same time I don’t know why lots of posters are defending his insulting and obnoxious behaviour and acting like he’s the victim when 90% of his aggression is unprovoked.
I guess because calling it like it is doesn’t help/change the guy?
I get what you’re saying, but if Richard wants acceptance he has to earn it through mutual respect like any other man.Acceptance. Accept the man for who he is and you won't get frustrated. If advice is to be offered or experience shared don't become emotionally attached to the outcome
It’s hard to respect someone that breaks like an eggshell with even the mildest criticism and starts hurling insults.
What you’re telling people to do is essentially validate him and never criticise. That’s not going to help the guy, it will just magnify the deficits.
I can’t in good conscience kiss someone’s ass when I think that they’re approaching their finances, relationships and social interactions in a way that will drive them to ruin.
