Oh, I don't disagree that they do. But then, they usually focus similar questions/thoughts/topics into a couple of threads, instead of every slight nuance of difference having its own thread.
And they usually have more sentences in the first post

I've no sorrow over the matter, let alone dishonest sorrow. I'll mock your word choice aplenty, just as I've done your insistance upon being contradictory to your own stated beliefs (it's called hypocrisy).
Now... if we're talking about what things are typically seen as: hypocrisy is seen as a negative in a person, regardless of whether it be 'normal' or not... it is frowned upon. Me, I'm not one to formulate my opinions of value upon that which is commonly believed, and if I was you: I really wouldn't be looking to commonality as my defense of hypocrisy, seeing as the typical hypocrite doesn't realize that their actions contradict their message.
Upon realizing self-hypocrisy... usually one of two things happens. The first, and most likely, is that the person ceases putting their message forward in its current state. The second, and more difficult, is that the person changes their behavior so as to make their message correct. To knowingly engage in self-hypocrisy? That's either a person being dishonest, a person justifying their non-application to their message, or the person just plainly being stupid.
In your case, I'm inclined to believe that it is the last of those from which you suffer the most

If it really was your nature, you'd have contradicted yourself by now. Besides, seeing how most threads were started by you, I'd say you were generally contradicting accepted truths, and admitting your contradictory nature makes everyone assume you're lying to attempt to be contradictory while really just being a consistent (fill in the blank here)....
That's a fascinating idea. My only contention is that he's contradicting logic... if he's okay with what that means: we can move on from logical argument

But all of it was good observation, Catfish. Were only we all so consistent

Racial differences have been proven, but that doesn't mean people of different races are any less or more human. Slavery is an affront to humanity itself.
How do you feel about nonhuman slaves?

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
