Prefer to be called a "troll" than to be an unconditional butt kisser without any sense of dignity. :)

Part of dignity includes civility towards others. And that would include not publicly attempting to demean another. FTR, I don't claim dignity, That would itself be undignified.

If you get too proud, the trolls here will bring you down a few notches.

And Lord knows there are trolls here.

PS: Congrats - that's quite a milestone.

Dignity - the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect.

I think you must have left that at the door. Your comments here don't make you worthy of honor or respect.

Shoe fits?? It always does, right? Nice definition BTW. Kissing butt so shamelessly certainly makes YOUR state of being worthy of honor or respect to be severely impaired.

Now go and Goggle "honesty".....maybe you will learn something.

Please note that is nothing wrong about bragging, after all, this is what awards are about.

I just took exception to the title.

When I am humbled it means I been showed that I was wrong about something.

Dignity also means to have REAL humbleness, not something as pathetic as this thread. That "another" perhaps needs a reality check. Yet others prefer to be hypocritical about it, not me.

Of course not. Brag all you want but be HONEST about it. Dont try to pass it off as being "humble". Its just pathetic.

Bragging about your self, "I don't kiss butt", "others prefer to be hypocritical, not me" certainly isn't humble and it sure as hell don't rank on the dignity scale.

If you have a problem comprehending that you are lost. Now I am going to leave this conversation. You've managed to rain on another's parade for you own personal and, undignified purposes.
I apologize to the OP for commenting on the hijack.

What you managed was to run out of arguments. Careful not to trip on those shoes.

Hate to get involved in this (and feel free to dismiss this with yet another ad hominem attack), but where are your manners and kindness/civility toward another human being? Bad form and uncalled for. Shame.

Very good, Scott. I guess you were humbled because you were hoping for 10 million views?

I think you should get more than 2 million myself.

But don't be humbled - synonyms: humiliated, abased, demeaned, lowered, degraded, debased, mortified, shamed, abashed, cut down to size, deflated, made to eat humble pie, taken down a peg or two, have your hash settled, nor made to eat crow - by rude (so-called "honest") remarks on this thread.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and 2 million views ain't chopped liver, so who cares if you used the wrong word in your title? Not I.

Congratulations. Well done.

So you agree with the "humbleness" the OP showed here....right? If you do please be free to feel ashamed. Me, on the other hand feel just fine. The hypocrisy here is mesmerizing.

I do. I really despise fake "humbleness". Was my comment rude? Perhaps. Is it right on the money? I think so. Good luck looking for more synonyms. Remember to use chapstick.
