I am not generally not a prick to anyone else, but you I see as the schoolyard bully, the only difference is that you have a veneer (mm thin and narrowly focused) of intelligence, which you feel is bolstered by your 'success' in business. Good for you, you have a job which pays you tons of money. Just realize, some of us consider it bad taste for you to post your tax returns and 'attaboy' emails time after time. A gentlemen can discuss his success without being a braggart. If you want to motivate others (your justification for your narcissism), we both know there are much better ways. Do some mentoring, volunteering, etc. where no one can see what you have done on DHP. By focusing on your very narrow success factors (money, the quality of your life, and how much people like you) you create this one dimensional caricature of yourself. There is more to success than just dollars and new contracts. Explain how you got there, tell us about what else you do in life to create a positive role model for others, discuss other things in your life except your money and extensive network. There is more to life, try exploring what makes you tick as a man: your personal struggles, your family, your relationships beyond the sycophants here. To me, you are one-dimensional, a caricature, an immature person so desperately struggling for validation on a message board.
As for hypocrisy (and your focus on the archives, which is only a reflection on the need to be right all the time), to me it shows the fury that consumes you. You must be right and (equally important), you must attempt to destroy/bully those who you feel don't agree with you or defer the immense amount of respect (fawning) that you require to maintain the very fragile internal balance which you must struggle to maintain. What you see as hypocrisy, can also be considered 'evolution' or simply a change in opinion. You know, over 10-13 years, people change, their opinions change. For example, while I did say I would no longer engage with you, I changed my mind. Having worked hard to make myself a better man, you no longer intimidated me, so I no longer decided to stand by why you bully member after member. After no longer being scared by what you would/could write about me, I saw you as the paper tiger than you are.
