Wow. I believe your way of living is the most profitable nowadays. It's really honest you openly say that.
And it's growing. I just hope there's an opposition against it, daily, and everywhere, so that I can stand up against that shit. A frightening statement of you. I just ask myself if this notion you show here, soon will be a regular, all day, way of human thinking.
I'm just aware of my flaws, more so recently for whatever reason. Sorry to get a bit personal but I've catered to many over the years and got little in return - not that I deserve anything - but a gesture here and there would be nice.
I'm married, have four young boys (oldest is 12), so I know where my priorities are. I'm sorry if I don't use this place for exactly the way intended, but I'm also not some asshole parading around here like I'm a great writer.
Hey, at least you get a reaction. I been here about 8 years and I doubt most people here don't even know my name. Most of my posts tend to be real thread killers.
My thought on all this is that you typically get exactly what you put into it. I didn't enter a script this time around but thought I come and read some of the scripts anyway. My comments try to be supportive, even if the script has major flaws, and with those, I'll try to point out in a polite way what they can do to improve it. Maybe that's why I get overlooked. Perhaps I should just be an arse instead. Seems to work for a lot of people, including our President.
Some of my scripts:

Oh I've been watching you Gary and the fluctuating value of your "two cents" this OWC. Do not believe the value of this man's two cents, folks. It could be worth nothing or a million cents... we'll never know.

Well, that kills the thread for me.
Kidding - you're posts have been valuable - stay aboard.

They don't need to be mutually exclusive. It's not an either/or. You can use the site as intended and not be an asshole parading around like a great writer. But even at that, I would prefer the participating asshole to the nice non-participator.
Like I said before, reads and comments are the currency of the site IMO. There are a ton of sites one can post scripts. This site shines because of the interaction. I have gotten invaluable feedback on my scripts here - it improved my scripts and made me a better writer better. I would still be at square one without the feedback. As such, I feel an obligation to reciprocate.
I don't know you so I don't dislike you. I do dislike your lack of reciprocation. Obviously, you are comfortable with that - so just marshal on.
I thought the challenge parameters were great and I think it may be the highest rate of actually meeting the parameters that I have seen in the OWCs I have participated in.
Struck me that there were a lot of newbies in this one. Hope that they took all comments as intended. In case they're reading this - Newbies - Google is your friend. Know what you don't know. e.g., Google how to write a scene heading, read the results, use them and probably 95% of the time you will nail it in the future.
They were two scripts that were better than the crowd for me. Won't reveal now since scoring is ongoing.
To Khamanna, Don et al - thanks for hosting as always. UB Rockstars.
I've done with the reads too and commented on all. Didn't have any idea some of those phobias existed. I thought people would go for easier/more obvious ones - like fear of clowns, spiders, snakes. Happy to see you haven't. I liked quite a few, will submit my vote today.
Had a good time as always. I wrote last minute the night of...so I'm sorry if mine was a chore for some. Thanks K for hosting this year's October OWC and Thank you Don for making it happen and giving us this great place to learn and grow. Fun times.

Us old stalwarts know who you are, Gazza. For years my posts were pretty much ignored too. I prefer to keep a lowish profile and hopefully be a quiet achiever. That's not necessarily a good thing but there's all types and hopefully there's room for us all to get what we deserve. Gotta keep trying anyway. If it's in yer blood it's there to stay. What else you going to do?
