The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Oh really?

http://breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=25491

Im sort of with you on this one....I went back and read some of the past posts and never really saw where Archie was anythig bit shall we say....different. But hell...You could ask 10 people what they think of me and many might think I am off my rocker as well.

Anyhow, the linking to your own page is tacky, but not past that in my opinion, but I respect the persistence of continuing to post (even if it is only to get a rise out of folks, but I dont get that vibe from the posts)

Similarly, I think Drtymrtny has got a bad rap too due to speaking his mind in a non-filtered way. I may not agree with a lot of the statements by either party, but I think both have valid points.

The lack of filter of just disinterest in trying to express that via text (Body language and interpersonal interaction is really an important aspect of communication) probably amplifies the polarizing nature of both characters. I say characters because on these forums everyone is bit of a super-sized version of oneself.

Long story short.....keep posting Archie and Drtymrtny! It keeps things interesting around here

I want the last 42 seconds of my life back.

Theres a reason the guy has been banned from just about every forum he joins. He shows up, trolls, talks sh*t to people, gets banned, joins another forum, and then talks sh*t about the last forum he was banned from.

Just put together a few comments over the span of a day. One says that he hopes to own another Navi one day, and the next basically implies that we are jealous of him because all we have a glorified ETA watches.

I used to just brush the guy off as a dope, but after a few years it becomes clear that he's just a troll.

There is another possibility. His behavior is rather indicative of mental instability.

RJ, I don't know about other forums, but in this forum I didn't see him talking s**t to people. And when I saw the post about ETA movements I understood (it's my opinion) that he was tired about the people laughing and insulting him for being as he is.
So... he loves louis vuitton, he bought a PP and borrowed a car to impress his "friends", he hides watches from her wife... it's HIS LIFE. And he only told that in this forum to share a part of his life.
Ok, he might not sound mature, he certainly is not brad pitt, neither am I.
And those people who thinks Archie is a stupid guy, start laughing and saying things about him and his family... I consider them more stupid than him.
Remember that to those people who don't know or care about these watches, they consider us stupid for spending money for something that only tell us the time. I think we all have a cell phone and it can give us the time as an expensive watch, so why do we buy and collect watches? because it''s a hobbie and we love it. And for that feeling we spend our money.
So what's the difference if Archie borrowed a car to impress some friends and bought an expensive watch? They saw it and that made Archie feel good.
What's the f******g difference? who are YOU to critisize his life?

I know your post wasn't directed to me, but I'll chime in anyway. Personally, I'm not criticizing his life; hell, I hadn't even heard of the guy before today. Why should I give a hoot in hell what he does? All I'm doing is making observations of his behavior. While my comment about his being potentially mentally ill might seem snarky, I was only half joking. Just within the last week or so, he posted a video on Youtube declaring what he believed to be the ten greatest watches of all time. (Yes, I did watch.) Included on the list were such ETA-sporting models as the Breitling Navitimer and the Omega Speedmaster. At the same time, he comes in here bashing ETA movements and the people who like them. Such a dramatic inconsistency is either troll behavior, or it's indicative of some internal imbalance. That doesn't mean we have to bash him, of course; and as you say, it's his life. But to assume his deliberately provocative statements should not be commented upon seems a bit unrealistic. He's courting controversy; all we're doing is giving him what he wants. Whether or not this is a good thing depends on how entertaining or revolting you find his posts.

No, I wasn't talking about you or RJ. I was talking about those who consider themselves mature and said thing about his weight, his family, car or the clothes he use.
And as you... I consider he has some issues... but he didn't said something bad to treat as others members are doing to him.
Well that's all.
Good luck

Does anyone know the maximum number of members we can add to our foe list? Mine list is growing rather rapidly!

"I don't own any watches, I just lease them"

The biggest problem with the resurrection of Archie and all his madness is the never ending supply of newer members that haven't had to endure his constant supply of twightlight zone posts. The rest of us have put up with it over a long period. He offers nothing of any consequence to the conversation and spits out the most unbelievable rhetoric. He gets under most peoples skin (on purpose) by his constant reminder of how superficial and shallow he is.

We remember the conversation about how terrible Brietlings are only to have him supposedly buy one....then sell it. Then for the upcoming class reunion he supposely buys that Patek and borrowed a Mercedes just to impress his classmates. Afterwards he meantioned thoughts of returning the Patek ( that he may have done) . Then to couple this he shows pictures of his wife and refers to her as his possession. Not to meantion the pictures of the louis vitton shrine in his house.

Well least to say, for most of us, he has worn out his welcome a long time ago.

But he does stir up a long heated conversation.....

I grant you, I'm new, but I took the time to check out his past posts and watch some of his Youtube videos. No doubt, he's quite a character. Based on what I've seen, I think amusement, bemusement, frustration, anger and disdain are all equally valid reactions to his ramblings. I don't hold it against anyone if they give him a piece of their mind, because he obviously provokes it. And he keeps coming back, so it can't bother him all that much.

Either that or the meds ran out...

Tomato, tomahto.

i, for one, find him to be an amusing, quintessential internet troll who is fueled by the attention he gets in threads like these. as long as one does not buy into his his absurdness, there should be no problem.
