Actually, if you do a quick search of "Hive" on here you'll find that the vast majority of references to it are not by me. And they are often made in threads in parts of this board I don't even post on. I just coined the term here with a throwaway comment...others ran with it. But when I mention it, in any context, it it's a bit like kicking a hornet's nest and some of you tend to go a bit crazy. If others hadn't taken off with the whole Hive thing it would have been long forgotten. God forbid you should just ignore posts you don't like. You should try it sometime, I promise it works wonders.
Nice try though, but do try to get your facts straight before you post. You guys are funny.
You really struggle with the idea that reasonable people can disagree with you.
Actually I have no issue at all when reasonable people disagree with me.
No, my point is that when reasonable people have disagreed with you, you've just collectively thrown them all into a "Hive," a nice convenient explanation to dismiss most dissension from your thoughts.Actually I have no issue at all when reasonable people disagree with me.

Except of course I never did that. Not once.
(Hint: if you start searching for references to The Hive, you'll quickly discover that the overwhelming majority of the posts are not by me).
Come on Nick. You're acting cowardly here. You were the creator of "The Hive" term here. Why won't you own up to it? Do you not believe in yourself? Do you regret saying it?
It's funny that you mention this because it's really one person that brings it up over and over.
Yeah, but you realize that when anyone other than yourself uses the term "Hive", they're making fun of you right?
I never said I didn't coin the term (as it's used here)...but I never used it to dismiss any individuals specific opinion. And, as is very clear, it's not me who perpetuated the meme. I made a throwaway comment about a Hive mind or some such thing, and others ran with it. Anyone who has engaged with me intelligently and sincerely on here has found that I've replied in kind.
And Come On Mikal, first you said this:
Then when I pointed out to you, correctly, that quick search will show that the vast majority of the time "The Hive" is mentioned it's by others, not me, and often in threads I'm not even a part of. So you responded with this:
So what you're saying is, it's actually others who keep bringing it up "over and over", and for the purpose of "making fun" of me. And I'm supposed to be the one responsible for the perpetuation of this meme?
Is this where you call me a name again?
Nick, you can quote my posts all you want and try to shift responsibility, but the fact of the matter is that you're the only one who can be responsible for how you're percieved. You originated the term "The Hive" and you've used it conveniently time and time again to generalize a group of people who's opinion differs from your own. It was such a rediculous comment that yes, other people poke fun of it quite often.
I'm going to give you some serious Blue Crack advice here Nick. I once not long ago made a comment that was taken the wrong way and blew up into something much bigger than it should have. It also was brought up over and over to the point where I took a vacation from this place. When it got to the boiling point, I directly addressed the comment I made, apologized and owned up to it and now it has not once been brought up since that day.
If you have any interest in improving your perception or building relationships here other than the duck and dodge act you may be feeling, owning up may be in your best interest.
