We are all sycophants, appearently.
Didn't put this in off-topic because it has been directed specifically at the BTW community.
It's a doubly insulting term, really. Because it means not only that we are servile, but that we are servile not out of respect or anything else, but because we think false flattery will be self serving. That's what sycophant means. A servile selfish flatterer. It's root meaning comes from "slanderer".
Even though the people who say we're sycophants probably have no idea what the word means, they still mean it in some insulting way.
So, I'd just like to state for the record here, for those people:
Go fuck a chainsaw.
With love,
Philip

It's always fun to watch people tip their hands with the words they choose.
There's only one V in my name, thanks.
<TaterBoy> I figured out why there's so much lag. We have too much iron.

Better than Wolves: Now with sycophants!
Stuff like this only makes them look worse. To that purpose, I'll wear the sycophant label with pride!

In a stunning bit of irony, the Technic scene seems to also refer to us as "wolfaboos" which always given me a good chuckle every time I see it :)
They seem to have missed a memo somewhere along the line ;)

I think we have enough drama on our hands, and I don't see this going anywhere good.
And I don't give a shit about how they're calling me. So should you.
