TLS Founder (Ken DeLeon) - on nationwide TV Forum

[drdolittle]

Everyone in here is so cool for not caring.

Yeah, nobody cares what Nucky thinks. We're only on page 5-6.

You were hoping to start Page 6 of this thread, you dirty dog.

I was mainly trying to demonstrate how little I care about Nucky's opinion on KDL's poast. If it produced a page 6, so be it, but it failed.

Just thought I'd ruin it for you.

You're a true revolutionary, fucky. Let me guess, you drink fair trade coffee, smell like ganja, turds and body odor, and have a favorite tye-dye shirt? Obviously, this all puts you in the same category as Marx, Paine, and Jefferson.

Everyone saying i have assburgers/am a revolutionary/hipster - my mystique is obviously growing, but I am confused why... I mean people get called out for being disingenuous all the time on TLS. People get called out for using the wrong words, or for misspelling. People certainly get called out for subtle bragging - the point is WRITE WHAT YOU MEAN and MEAN WHAT YOU WRITE, don't try and hide your motivations because TLS will see through it - kens original post was bullshit. if the guy had different intentions, he should have written and titled the post differently. if it was a mistake he should have said as much, accepted the fact that what he wrote and what his stated purpose was did not match - If the user name was not KDL, none of you would react this way - you wouldn't be wearing the blinders - you more than likely would have simply agreed with what I said in the beginning, and none of this would have escalated.


Instead, you all seem to be in agreement that because the dude created this website, he should not be judged for being so arrogant. "why do bad things happen to sexy people" really? what kind of person titles their memoir like that? the same kind of person that writes the OP.

What other person at the top of their PROFESSION, acts like this? and gets on and banters (calling me fucky, really? - im anonymous guy, you are not) back and forth with forum users? Ken is supposed to be the TOP REAL ESTATE agent in the country... how can you all act like this is respectable behavior?

Ah, so that's what this is about. Someone gave you a hard time when you first came here and now you want everybody to endure your heartbreak?

And generally I think people shouldn't be judged for being arrogant when the source of their arrogance is indisputable. For example, Ken is the top agent in the country...that gives him the right to be arrogant...but usually we don't call it arrogance. Just stating facts. You've never been in a position where you are the best at anything (except maybe masturbating 7 times before rolling out of bed?) so you can't understand this. So I don't blame you for being the fuckwad most people here think you are. I chalk it up to your inability to understand due to your overall failure of life.

Oh really... Is that what you think? I think self absorbed braggarts, justified or not, should be called out. Why does America hate Lebron James but not Michael Jordan? Donald trump, but not warren buffet?


Hint: it has to do with the way they handle their success

You know someone is just arguing for the sake of arguing when they claim MJ not to be arrogant.

[nucky thompson]

You know someone is not actually reading what was written when they paraphrase incorrectly. Jordan is arrogant, as is Lebron, but compare how each handled their success in public... Jordan didn't beg for public attention or recognition - Lebron seems to want the spotlight equally as much as he wants to win. Lebron sees a great dunk by another nba player and when tweeting about it he manages to make it about himself. Jordan was never like that. He still is not like that - when was the last time you saw him in the news?

It's always confused me that ESPN gives more airtime to LeBron than Jordan these days. Now what you're saying makes so much sense... it's because LeBron's such an attention whore.

[stillwater]

Stupidity is insatiable.

[nucky thompson]

You're trying too hard homie - that was not relative to Lebron - but other super stars that have retired. If MJ was like Lebron or ken Deleon, he would find a way to insert himself in the news cycle or be a commentator or subtle brag on Internet forums

I didn't realize that transitioning from playing a sport to being a commentator was due to a person's desire to brag.

[nucky thompson]

It's not - it is their desire to be the center of attention.


And if you ever actually watch ex player commentators, you'd know most of their analysis has to do with connecting to their own careers - ie: subtle bragging, making things about themselves when no one else is

[20130312]

making things about themselves when no one else is

Interesting point. You realize this thread is about Ken, right?

[bernaldiaz]

Also that has to be one of the worst sentences I have ever read.

[nucky thompson]

Not witty guy - I never made this about me... All of the naive kenfollowers made it about me cause they knew the merits of what I had written were undisputed

[20130312]

You were right, dude. Even Ken acknowledged it to an extent. I think everyone acknowledges that the original post was a little humble-braggish, but whatever, either way it was cool to read about Ken. I had no idea about his career, and it was interesting to see what the founder of this site had gone on to accomplish. But then he apologized. He probably should have just made the original post more directly about him without trying to tie it in with the success of TLS, but anyways, he apologized. Move on. You just look desperate.

[nucky thompson]

You're right, all of this is about gaining my top law school forum name some more attention. Sorry, I have a life outside of TLS. This is not some second life for me, as it is apparently for most posters in this thread. The website is a resource for law school - not for socializing - most normal people do that in real life/or through social media under their real identity

[20130312]

I enjoy the new thread title.

[nucky thompson]

Ken apologized for things "if" they happened. But they happend without a doubt... So he didn't actually acknowledge the depth of his attention whoring. Never mind any of that, I dropped it a long time ago, said I was mostly arguing to argue, noticed ken was a cancer survivor that seemed like a genuinly good guy, and I apologized. That was it from me.... Until ken came back to it like a middle schooler trying to guilt me cause he was hit by a truck.

Haha true, that's actually hilarious.

I missed that, but that's hilarious. Look on the bright side, you got a sweet new nickname out of it.

[stefanpdt]

I personally would give Fucky a 1 in both categories, but that is just interpretation.

I do appreciate being forgiven though since I did beat cancer. I was also hit by a car going 45 mph while walking on the sidewalk with my father right after I graduated from Berkeley Law. Coming close to death several times did throw away a few inhibitions.

Yes, I do believe in the greatness of myself and that of the TLS community. Why hide that I am thankful to be alive and proud of my success and hope others achieve personal success as well. I do not fear death, I fear living a mediocre life.

To the TLS community, live fully and for yourself. Cheers,

Ken

P.S.

Using Fucky instead of Nucky was very purposeful (see next few threads). It was too good to not use.

I just had to re-emphasize that Ken is truly awesome.

I laughed my ass off.

To be fair, Ken's a realotor now (lol at stupid spell check wanting to spell it 'Realtor'). What do you expect? A part of that biz is all about creating false impressions. And I don't at all mean this to be a specific dig at KDL. Seems like he's done some innovative things in it and has done very well, but the biz is what it is. So in his OP Ken might have just been talking like a realtor, like law students get accused of 'talking like a lawyer' a few semesters in...

hmm.

Truth hurts homie - never claimed to be a mentalist - simply used critical reading skillz and noticed the stated purpose of the OP was far removed from the content.

Ken... This resource is invaluable and I personally have benefitted greatly... But again... If your purpose was to tell the TLS community success can be had outside of law with a law degree.... Why did you title the OP "TLS Founder (Ken DeLeon) - on nationwide TV"

At first I did not read the NYT article cause I felt pushed into it.... But I'm midway through it and I read this seemingly relevant nugget....

"...(referencing the man, KDL) who is finishing up a memoir about overcoming illness, injury, and loss that he calls 'Why do bad things happen to sexy people?'"
if his memoir is about bad things happening to him, is he calling himself sexy? I am really laughing out loud imagining how self absorbed this guy seems. I hope the title of his book is referencing sexy people in general, and that he is not throwing himself in that group

You apologized but you act like people (basically me) misinterpreted your post... When in fact, it was the only interpretation.

"I don't mean to toot my own horn.... But BEEP BEEP"

You're the quintessence of what is wrong with many pre-law/law students: so certain that they are smart, clever... amazingly analytical. In reality, you are likely only mediocre in all of these categories. The bell-curve is a bitch, man.

Your original approach to the thread (i.e. dissecting it as if it were an LSAT passage) not only shows that you have the wit and social tact of a tadpole on crack, but it also shows that you have very poor interpretation skills.

Ken did in fact likely only write the post for his stated reason... He calls it "because I am so thankful to the TLS community for continuing to inspire me to achieve new heights of greatness. I too want to be a mirror to reflect your own brilliance."

In reality, this translates to "I am writing this post because I am so thankful that the thousands of miserable nimrods that use this site have inspired me to exit a profession so saturated with toxic personalities. By leaving law I have achieved great success and wealth. I also hope to inspire some of you users that are less miserable, and perhaps even intelligent, to stay open to ventures outside of your myopic view of the future as a lawyer. Use your talents - your own brilliance, whatever that might be - to succeed."

Nucky, you ignorant fool. How can something so transparent escape your reasoning for so long? Don't answer that.

In reality, many (dare I say most) of the users on TLS are going to have very unhappy lives in a putrefied field. He is trying to instill hope for these users to utilize for future reference. "Hey, when your up to your eyes in debt, work in a sweatbox basement, and doing doc review $12/hr for a living -- don't jump off the roof of the building. Mirror me. Keep your mind open to new possibilities and don't be afraid to take them."

Your other complaints (i.e. his book title "why do bad things happen to sexy people", his mentioning that he got hit by a vehicle in addition to having cancer, and referring to you as "fucky") are on matters that are SOO beyond your comprehension. Let us analyze:

Book title: tongue-in-cheek humor
Getting hit by a vehicle: a jab at you for originally mentioning/acting like his cancer was pertinent to this thread
Fucky: lighthearted joke. (if he wanted to be mean, he could say much worse)

If you are anything IRL like your persona in this thread, dude, you're simply insufferable.

Try to be a human. Know your limitations. If you can't color inside the lines - so be it, just don't hang up your artwork for the world to see.

Enjoy doc review.
