Fair enough.
Would all of them even say it to his face?
Would all of them have said it the way they had if Mario wasn't a mod?
Would all of them say it in the same manner as they did if other people hadn't said stuff as well?
I expect the answer would be no for some of the people who have posted here.
I'd like to think that most people on here can form their own opinions and if they don't have the bottle to post an honest opinion, they should just refrain from posting.
Half the comments on here aren't really that negative about Mikey per se, but rather his online persona or more directly some of the posts on this thread.
For example, my only comments on this thread were about one of Mikey's replies not making any sense. But that was because his response didn't really tie with what he had 'quoted'.
Am I afraid to tell people on here what I think of them? No.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, you can't expect everyone to get on with everyone else. There will be clashes of personality on here just as there are in real life.
Personally, I don't really like how Mikey comes across on the forums. To me he seems a little too cocky and a bit of an attention whore at times. And yes, if he really wants me to say it to his face, I will have no problem saying "Mikey, you come across as a tosser on the forums".
However, I'm sure he won't care, I've spoken no more than 10 words to him in person and don't know what he's like when not on the forums. So I can't pretend to know what he's like in person, he knows that and that's why he won't give 2 sh!ts about what I think of him on here.
Also, I have no idea how I come across on the forums, Mikey (or anyone else) could hate me for all I know, doesn't bother me. Works both ways.
