- Confused against, with hopefully helpful comment. It might work better written "in character" by a stereotypical liberal (Volvo, arugula, "casual Fridays", wine, sushi) writing about the (stereotypical) South after having one bad experience after crossing the Mason-Dixon line, which could be tough to pull off well. As it stands now, the narrator isn't a specific character, making the page come off as just a rant, rather than a tale of comfortably middle class rage from guy who had to travel to the IKEA in Fairmont WV to purchase a replacement caster for his BESTÅ living room entertainment centre-slash-storage system after the one in Bethel Park, PA didn't have one in stock, only to discover (after arriving to locked doors) that the one in Fairmont (which, according to the computer at the one in Bethel Park, did have the part in stock) closes at 9pm on weekdays. That would turn it into an absurd rant, rather than just a rant. And if that bit in the middle doesn't help point you in a good direction, then I'm of no use at all. None!

- Sounds very Fight Club-esque. I like it. I may rewrite it, thanks for the advice, Modus. I guess I've been getting a little desperate for features, it's no surprise that this would lead to lower quality articles with less thought than I put into my others. Thanks again. —Sir SysRq (talk) 19:05, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
- With desperation to be loved, you're halfway there. All you need now are the incompatible traits of a giant ego (remember: people don't recognize your greatness, and they should, because you are great), and an unhealthy dose of self-loathing (remember: the reason why people don't love you is because you are pathetic and aren't worthy of love). Then you'll be a Genuine Writer™. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 01:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Another words, I'll be you. It's all a journey. —Sir SysRq (talk) 01:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I still have to pass through the "cirrhosis" and "messy death" stages. I'm stuck on the "wild vacillations between comatose and neurotic" stage. Be glad it's not the 1850-1930 era anymore. Writers generally skip the syphilis stage now. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 01:23, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- When do you plan on hitting the "I married a bitch and now there are crickets in my room" stage? —Sir SysRq (talk) 01:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
