The whole thing started with OKC "accusing" Shane of "stolen valor". Unless OKC can post screen shots or film its just hearsay and should be taken with a grain of salt like most of the rest of the texting in game. Shane on the other hand has blown it all out of proportion for the sake of attention is my guess. All he had to say was post the proof or your lying and let it go, but no We are on his second thread about it.
Its one of the biggest problems in the world today. People taking offence over words. You want to call me a "fat pollack", go for it! I couldnt care less. It doesnt bother me at all because its just words. In the least it shows me what kind of person you are and any who jump on that band wagon are just the same and are not worthy of my attention. So, if everyone would just "let it go" instead of being hurt everytime someone says something the world would be a better place.
Not out of proportion at all. This isn't the first time I've had to push back against attempts to slander me with stolen valor.
I. HAVE. NEVER. EVER. CLAIMED. MILITARY. SERVICE. EVER. You've known me long enough to know this is true.
And the fact that you're taking the side of a liar's comments over mine, indicates that your sense of integrity is lacking.
This is where it's starting to get stunning... the fact that people let their dislike for my bluntness moderate their acceptance of actual wrong behavior. Wow, just... wow. Think on that. Not one person at the time tried to hold OKC accountable for those attacks, but took his words at face value.
Now, let's not ignore the fact that many who play have served, so an attempt to slander me in such a way is truly... the height of low class.
My family gave blood in military service, my uncle was on the USS Pueblo. I served our government for 10 years, took an oath to defend the constitution, and as a citizen would most definitely defend my country - does this make me lesser than those who served in the military. No.
And this is why you've probably seen me pushing back against blind hero worship of people who hold up military service as something deserving of extra consideration. Naw, people are people, good, bad, advocates, liars, etc, regardless of what job they perform. (And this is what gets to these fragile ego'd people - the fact I don't put them above any other citizen or job that a society needs. A demand of "respect my service, where's yours?" is met with an appropriate reply of a side-eye at those who think they're somehow superior and a "Sit down, citizen."
You will never find evidence of me claiming military service because it doesn't exist. OKC's lies, do.
I've dealt with a ton of crap comments of all sorts tossed my way and if it's game related, I do shrug it off or poke back. I never go off-game until someone takes that tack and then I get anklehumped for pushing back against it.
See, people will believe OKC's lies over my truths because of the way losers let that "dislike for my bluntness moderate their acceptance of actual wrong behavior." Look at you, doubting my word.
Hell, I'm only here because of Caine's feeble attempt to bully me here by trying to make okc into the victim. Have you even read those screeshots? Have you?
Maybe instead of trying to minimize my message, minimize OKC's - call him on it, ask him to prove it.
