hmmm...scratching head....now this is interesting. Max has a fixation on a character named yellowman that no one has ever heard of. Do you think he pulled it out of his hat or is it something he thinks he can throw us off on?

There is yelloman and there's the names he comes up with - usually the wrong gender.

He's also got his finance agenda in this post as well as his history knowledge. Hmmm... I think I should read more about psychology. I am just so used to people keeping all their weirdness inside - how they do in TF. Then when they get drunk, they screw everything that moves or cry or yell or some other dumb stuff.

Maybe Max is using this site and his way to let off his inside wierdness...?

One thing I noticed is that orphans boast. Max does other things like side with TF that makes him very odd. His reasons for even coming to this site if he likes TF are unclear. Has anyone ever done that before? I mean, you old timers, have you seen anyone just happen upon this site and side with TF?

I've said it before and I'll say it again; judging by the tone and construct of his various replies, Max is an extremely passive-aggressive personality-type, but with the maturity level of a 12-year-old. In reading his replies, I am reminded of children boasting on the playground in the midst of a chest-puffing session. The most amusing (saddest?) part to all of this is how he seems to feel that his various responses have serious merit. He thinks he "holding his own" in the arena when he is clearly not. He seems enamored with what he perceives is his cleverness, when none genuinely exists (unless judging against the scale of a 12-year-old). So in that respect, he is quite dellusional (and/or in some major denial). Watch his next response or two and you will see what I am describing.
He must have a very low self-esteem, evidenced by his vacuous boasting and braggadocio. So, when you add it all together: passive aggression + sarcasm + dellusions + vacuous bragging =
A very empty and self-hating 12-year-old.
Max, however, is a perfect example of how the term "ignorance is bliss" applies. He is ignorant of all, yet he is blissfull in his childish manner. Again, though, I suspect that it's really all on the surface. There's obviously an emptiness and a sadness once you peel away the layers of his onion.

It would appear that the vocal minority have run out of ideas, which does not suprise me. Love & God Bless

But i bet it WOULD suprize you that we have NOT run out of ideas. I, by my above post, asking for your own definition of yourself/personality, was feeling a little sorry for you, and trying to be friendly by offering you a place to explain yourself a little. you obviously didn't "get" that. and THAT doesn't suprize ME.

I am learning more about Max:

Max seems to want to tell us what he's doing in his life nonchaluntly(spelling?). He makes remarks regarding money many times. I think he is trying to prove us wrong about TF. We who have been there know that TF has very restrictive rules about finances. It seems Max is trying show us that he can be rich in TF and do as he pleases. I am not sure if he is joking or serious. Like evanman said something about wanting you to believe he's not serious. I don't get it.

[edit]

Then as I was reading a bit on another thread I noticed that even though Max acts as if he has schooled you, Max resorts to the most low down tactics and almost verbal abuse - crude and cruel.

Maybe he feels a lot of pain or he is not familiar with it.

Max's compulsion to consistently reply in the manner in which he does continually demonstrates his immaturity and lack of emotional development. That he doesn't seem to realize this (or perhaps he really does?) is the genuine mystery. Each post and every response from Max serves to confirm his infantile nature.

Case in point.
As evidenced by his replies in this very post, now he suddenly changes his MO and chooses to adhere to some perceived restriction based upon how he feels that a reply will be received. His inconsistency proves the point better than anything else. He is a paper tiger; there is no substance, just infantile wind. On a deeper level, I would say that pity should be the prevailing response to this poor fellow. He's a legend in his own mind.
