My girlfriend and I like to surf the net together... but she hates it when I come here... now I think that this is an interesting place - we have a cool world here. She thinks that I'm Captain Kirk:

So I thought I'd ask - do I actually come across as a condescending know it all or insufferable jackass? And if so... do you guys mind or would you like me to change?

That's really weird. I had that exact same image open from a different forum when I read it.

You are a know-it-all. On teh internetz, this is not something that is by definition bad.

Yeah, you're probably a bit of a know it all, but not really in a bad way, and certainly not the only one here. I don't really have a problem with your personality here. I don't see you as a jackas at all.

Why does your girlfriend dislike this site?

She says whenever we come here I spend half and hour bitching about how I'm right and everyone else is wrong, twenty minutes bitching about Zeta then five minutes showing her "cool" incomplete stories that I've been saying "I'll get round to finishing this soon" for months.

Which is possibly true. Just came as a bit of a shock... 'cause this is my favourite website.

'Course, I can work on being less of a know it all. That's not an issue.

You are a know it all.

You do on occasion rant/bitch a lot.

You likely scare the pants off of the newbies.

Change any one of those things, and you'll cease to be the Nag we know and love. (side note: Nag. Think about that nick name for a moment. lulz) All in all you are what I would consider one of the stronger personalities on the forums. This is a good thing, as a strong personality makes the forum appear attractive to people and alive. Taking that away would leave this place more hollow and less exciting.

This is also one of my favorite sites, though I will admit not THE favorite. Preferences and all that.

Let me put it another way. Yes, you are Captain Kirk. Don't ask me who Spock is, because thats just a clusterfuck waiting to happen. Sticking with the Star Trek theme, let me ask you a question. Would you even be interested in Star Trek had it not had Captain Kirk? No. Of course not. The show would have sucked, and died after the first season.

You're Kirk. You made this show. Continue with the sound of your awesome. The rest of us shall hunt for Spock and Khan.

Hmmph... whoever said that was the "magic word" has clearly deceived me. I wanted to see the clusterfuck :(

Dude, if you knew me a little better you'd know I'm Spock.

Anyway, you come off as a bit of a /b/tard. I know far worse IRL, and considering my general involvement on the internet I have just as much / more with a lot of the stuff I've seen you discuss. That being said... I don't consider you an insufferable jackass. Why? It's either because you simply aren't, or because I'm accustomed to that kind of company and I don't even notice.

I wouldn't call you a know-it-all or insuffurable. Your more like the internet's personification of the perfect devil's advocate, which suits a guy in your position on the forum.

Now come on, yeah this is pretty cool but to be honest.... That 'tis a little... sorry for the word... Geeky.... Do something else, you know... I wouldn't say this is something I'd like to do all day, I do it when I am bored but then again, it is a kind of hobby.. Anyway, I don't watch star trek wouldn't know what you mean.

It's not geeky. It's funny. I'm not obsessed with Star Trek; in fact, I'm quite the opposite. I look at much of Star Trek (in every series) as retarded, yet most of it is entertaining. Trekkies freak me the hell out. But the original series is classic, and many things about it are just hilarious. Captain Kirk seeming self-absorbed, along with William Shatner's acting, is one of those hilarious aspects.

Hopefully, you are not as bad an actor as Bill Schatner, if that is remotely possible. I've told you you are the character Taj in National Lampoon's Van Wilder, the Revenge of Taj.

A condescending know it all and an insufferable jackass? Yes, of course. Absolutely. Without a doubt. Goes without saying. But then, why would I like to sleep with you? (let Dani see that one!)

Have you crossed the line? Once or twice, but not often enough to be annoying.

Are you likeable? Yes, of course. Absolutely. Without a doubt. Goes without saying. Have I mentioned I'd like to sleep with you?

Have you always been this way? No, you were once a skinny, timid yet loudmouthed 16 year old who didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, who has matured into a skinny, bravado-filled, opinionated and loudmouthed adult who has a clue. In other words, a typical college student.

Now, after about four full years of knowing you, I consider you one of my better friends, even though we have never met. What I find the most annoying about you is not the fact that you are a condescending know it all or insufferable jackass - it is that you play coy too often. You have something interesting to say, hint about it, and then get all coy or secretive about it. I hate that. I did mention I'd like to sleep with you, didn't I??

Keep up the good work.

Nag, I like 'ya. Don't ever change. Seriously.

You manage to make me laugh with 99% of your off-topic posts. If you changed, you wouldn't be as funny.

Tell your girlfriend she needs to lighten up a bit. ^_^

Any way Nag, your not the worst here, let her read that. As an older member I can say I know you pretty damn well, and my honest judgment is that all the members here are self-centered egotist, and you are lower on that list than I am.

I found this place is a good educational site, my vocab has expanded and my spelling has improved.
