Ok, folks... at the risk of being rude and drawing too much attention to our lovely and talented resident poet, Mr. Haskins, I have to ask: does anyone actually think he's a misanthrope, as that little line under his avatar suggests?

William, feel free to defend your dislike for humankind should the need arise.

Nah. His soul is actually loving and kind. He's just a very good actor.

Edit: His sould is loving and kind? Do people have soulds? Why don't I read over what I write before posting it? Edited, of course, because people have souls and not soulds.

Tilly · May 9, 2006

Writing is a solitary pursuit, and yet he seeks out other writers and participates on an online forum.

trumancoyote · May 9, 2006

He's pretty rough sometimes, though.

Is he just masochistic?

Possibly, but he won't stand still long enough for me to find out. :whip:

I've always pictured him as coming across like House, MD. So yes, I vote misanthrope, but all he really needs is a hug. Or a really effective stare from a CareBear.

trumancoyote · May 9, 2006

I'd fear for the life of said Care Bear.

I would, however, enjoy seeing its rainbow-colored blood.

special needs · May 9, 2006

I volunteer to give him the hug! You guys will just have to pin him down first...

Run away little bear...

No. Stand and fight little bear. Don't be afraid of the big bad Haskins. If you need backup, I know a couple of Ewoks that could be of assistance.

That spit flaming stars from their mouths and rears.

But back to the subject, people. Chop-chop.

Does hatred for humankind mean you must hate all of them?

trumancoyote · May 9, 2006

It means you hate the human race as a whole, but not individuals.

I'll admit that humans are capable (and masters of) some pretty dispicable ****, but what about other things they've done? -- art, music, afros and rimjobs?

It's not all worth hating. I'd wager that Williams a selective misanthrope.

Haskins is simply the messageboard version of a brilliant character actor. In real life, he's really an East Coast elite Barbra Striesand fan.

Perks · May 9, 2006

Pssst. Yeah, let's talk about him like he's not here.

Best bet, Zach my love, ask him yourself in private.

trumancoyote · May 9, 2006

I know -- but that's the funny part about the thread.

It's meant to tease him more than anything else.

Maryn · May 9, 2006

I figure it's an aspect of his more rounded personality--and an online role he relishes, playing it with considerable verve and gusto. (I should be writing menus, huh?) If you look, though, you can spot the scenery chewing.

Maryn, who knows Haskins is a big softie

Of course! I know that. I'm smiling. I'm just glad it's not me.

Can you imagine the rush (and squirm) of having threads dedicated to dissecting the depth of your anitpathy toward certain elements - you know, all the living, breathing, pontificating ones?

You, on the other hand, are ripe for the scalpel considering the twisty, garish wonderful work you've been churning out these days. So, who do you think disdains the groundlings more - you or Haskins?

That's hard to say, because I'm judging William's misanthropy as a projection of my own, and I'm trying to be less Narcissistic lately.

I'd say we're pretty equal. But then, I do have to admit that I'm really forkin' intrigued by all the little nasties that Man has pulled from his cauldron-pot... so even though I dislike what we're capable of, I'm fascinated by our ability and willingness to do it.

Not me. I look to both sources for that odd angle. I'm not often accused of being sunshine and light, perhaps I am coyote-light? You think?

Both of you seem much dedicated to selective appreciation of things.

trumancoyote · May 9, 2006

Which I think is good.

Right... right?

Perks · May 9, 2006

I'm still here aren't I?

I think so. It doesn't mean you're not a negative bastard though.
