RS, the ironic thing is that I think your post is as messed up and illogical as you think mine is.

I'm hardly a Zero Punctuation fan-boy. I'm merely an individual who personally can't give two shits if someone says "fuck you" to me. This phrase has become almost commonplace greeting amongst me and my friends. I might just be desensitized to it, but I hardly see the advantage in getting all butt-hurt over someone saying it to me. I rather think it to be a funny phrase and anyone who uses it to seriously insult someone drastically needs to expand their vocabulary(as we know is not the case with Mr.Croshaw). If he wanted to genuinely anger people, I believe he could be far more creative than that.
I feel like I'm pointing out the obvious, but just because you and your friends use an insult as a friendly greeting, that doesn't change the real meaning and intent of a word.
Also, does "butt-hurt" mean the same thing as annoyed? I thought it meant to get extremely upset. I explained why some would feel insulted or mad. At any rate, I'm only annoyed at Yahtzee.
I did say it was possible, (though unlikely,) he meant that as a joke but delivered the joke very poorly. I suppose it's also possible he meant it as a serious f-u, but doesn't care how we respond. Anyway, my point wasn't how he meant it. I was explaining why some people would be upset by what he said.

In conclusion, I would put it to you that it is you who is the fan-boy. Understand that I am by no means defending Yahtzee; he's a big boy and is quite capable of doing it himself. I simply am easily aggravated by people who fail to think before they speak(or type). You on the other hand go straight to rage when your precious ZP doesn't deliver as you think it should. You get your little feelings hurt when you find out Mr.Croshaw might not love you. You take it as a personal attack when he's not all warm and cuddly with his fan-base. Please, for the sake of all those who read your drivel; grow-up.
Again, you fail to understand the meaning of a word. A fan-boy DEFENDS the actions of someone or some company to the point of abandoning all reason to do so. I'm criticizing Yahtzee. Exactly what am I a fan-boy of? Also, what part of my post expressed rage? I never even said what I personally felt. I explained why some would feel insulted or mad. You accuse me of having all these extremely hurt feelings when it is you with the overly impassioned argument. You're the one who failed at not sounding like a fan-boy.
I had more to say, but concluded your perspective and way of thinking is far too different than mine for you to understand.
