Or what? More pouting?

Impersonation is the creepiest form of flattery.

I'd love to see on your screen how many of these posts have (you) next to them, but I suppose that's why you cower in anonymity in the first place.

Instead of obsessing on me, wouldn't you rather be disparaging an author whose major work you never read? Sounds more your speed.

Just because I started on r/4chan doesn't mean I don't belong here

>>6604030
>Please go back to reddit.

Why does every gruelingly unoriginal anonofag tell me to go back to some site I've never been to?

>>6604014
>That's still about you

No. it's about people's strange problem with me. I'm incidental to it.

>>6604003
>This is 4chan. Please just be anonymous. Literally no one wants to know who you are. We'd all actually really prefer not to.

Well, I would prefer that everyone put a name on their posts that made them accountable, but everybody gets to make that decision for themselves.

>Maybe in the US but he's not that popular here in the UK, he does have a sizable fanbase but not on the same scales in his home country.

Pardon my going off-topic, but I'm curious: how popular is Matt Beaumont there? I never hear him mentioned here, but I've read a few of his books and I think he's very funny and creates some brilliantly-conceived narratives.

>>6603912

All true; well considered.

According to an interview, Franzen is 6'2". It may be a trick of perspective, but he looks taller than DFW there.

>http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/david-foster-wallace-autopsy?page=0

If he's 6'4" then based on that photo Zadie Smith would have to be about 6', which I doubt. Maybe they measure from the toes when a body's on the slab?

>>6603563
>It's different with musicians, though. It's kind of wrong to treat DFW like a rockstar.

The romanticized tragic hero could be from anywhere, though. Rock sees this narrative a lot, but doesn't necessarily own it.

>This man died seven years ago. Why is there a film about him. This is horrible

How long after Cobain's suicide did that Gus Van Sant movie 'Last Days' come out?

I want this trailer to be a Funny or Die sketch, but I suspect this is really a movie.

>Hi reddit

Why is it the laziest-minded people always assume I have some association with a site I've never been to?

Anyway, hi!

Keep that bitter fanmail coming!

>board tourist do you even read?
>no, seriously.

Sure.

>>6601639
>>thread is now all about you

More precisely, the thread is now all about certain embittered little guys' problems with me.

>>6601629
>haha no i am shitting on you because it's fun and easy.
>you are tripping on a board where you're not even known hahahaha like why even bother.

Don't confuse making yourself look like a dildo with shitting on ME. Now I see why you would value your anonymity.

>>6601594
>it's nothing but a self-suck
>self-suck elsewhere

I can't imagine having so little to think about that someone having a name on their post would bother me in the slightest. What's that like?

>>6601579
>lol no one here finds it upsetting because you are a literal nobody on this board.
>every other trip here probably doesn't even know who the fuck you are lol.

And yet you need to pop off all aggrieved and hurt, like. Why is that?

>>6601503
>You have no room to call someone else "self-congratulatory and silly", frankly.

I don't think that putting my name on my posts is giving myself a big round of applause or anything. I understand that some people find it upsetting. I do it for them.

>>6601484
>White, suburbanite college students have become a very dominant market. DFW actually plays to this educated-but-not-smart post grad demographic.

I've noticed that all DFW haters presume that they are smarter than his fans. This seems sort of self-congratulatory and silly to me.

>>6601368
>76 inches. Did you read the autopsy? It's on the fourth page.

That's after he was pretty stretched out, though.

>>6601371
>Man, why did he have to die?

I suspect it had something to do with the belt cutting off his oxygen.
