Shattering Iconoclast's reality-warping filter would shatter his ideal (and delusional) vision of college life, and would probably hurt him, just like the revelation that the "gal pals" were only there out of pity did to Chris (even if it was a troll setup).
The thing about Iconoclast is that his delusions about the past are stopping him from moving forward. And that's something anyone can tell him. There's no need to impersonate anyone. It's as obvious as day.
 
There's no need to impersonate anyone.
I wasn't implying impersonations - I was merely pointing out that shattering his delusion about the past would hurt him, even though it would also help him. I also compared the situation to the gal pal revelation*.

*(Still, CWC is apparently obsessed with high school, and he's retreated deeper into plastic brick fantasy land.)

Well it's like exercising for the first time after a long period of being bedridden: it's gonna hurt at first. As Joe Santo says in Stay Hungry, "You can't grow without burning!"

 
My 80-year-old, disabled grandmother can use a cell phone. You have no excuse beyond a severe developmental disorder.
 
since he never officially terminated me before relocating and opening his shop in 2012, I have technically been a employee of the firm all this time and figure I am owed a significant amount of back pay

Dammit, Sweet.

EDIT: Ohh, wow, there were actually a whole lot more posts after that. I think I actually need time to digest this insanity, holy shit, Jon.

Trying to follow Sweet's explanations in these posts is almost painful to me. He seems obsessed with certain minor details that don't mean shit and also contradict his previous story. This is practically a CWC narrative but with less angry caps.

Dr. Belch: Well, yes. Pennying someone inside their room would be dangerous if a fire broke out. Outside the room it's a mere inconvenience.

Obviously this changes everything. Oh wait, it doesn't. It still shows that your college "buddies" didn't like you and wanted to fuck with you. The only difference is they never got you while you were in the room.

Fekul the Whinging Child said:
Dr. Belch: I can't win here. If I give too much information I get yelled at for sharing too much. If I give too little information I';m accused of lying, half the time I'm accused of saying something I never even said.

It would really help if you could actually keep your pissing stories straight. Since you keep on changing the nature of what happens in the story, this to me tells me that you're lying something fierce.

And hilariously, the more you reveal, the more we get intrigued. Mostly because it gives us more tidbits to be horrified and outraged methinks (at least for me).

Jon Thumb on Story Consistency said:
Dr. Belch: And how do these two accounts contradict each other at all? One mentioned he was in his drawers outside, the other that he stole my computer monitor. Both mention the crazy note.

Only you could think that having only one consistent theme throughout a story, even if most of the other details change, means that the story is consistent. You know what, I'm beginning to buy into the idea you have autism now too with this type of logic showing.

And if I could read your comics, this indicates to me you are absolutely shit at keeping any potential story in it consistent.

Burnside's Folly Fails at Understanding How he Fucked up said:
Dr. Belch: I took responsibility for upsetting Ashleigh by talking about my feelings. But if she was a troll anyway, only put up to seducing me as part of a prank, it's a moot point anyhow, right? I admitted I don't know anything about mechanical stuff and probably had no business in a repair shop. But it was no reason for Dale to blow up at me for not properly handling a customer's complaint.

This isn't taking the blame here Sweets; this is still trying to paint yourself as the poor victim. Mostly because you still used the wording that she left you "because I talked about my feelings". That implies a lot right there; it's also a monstrous lie. No... you lost her because you tried to get pity sex out of her in person, and her response was very valid.

And the other thing you "admitted" as a mistake is not a mistake either jackass. You almost got this one, in that you admit that not being skilled with machines when you "worked" at a place that dealt with a variety of appliances and devices is a bad idea. Then you HAD to turn it back into a "pity me since this dickhole was unreasonable" by having the Beau "unfairly" get pissed off at you by not handling a customer's complaint. Motherfucker, your job, be it as "manager" or stockboy, called for customer service on this matter, especially if you were the manager like you said. Managers are supposed to "make things right' with the customer.

No, what I see here is you probably acted like a snippy son of a bitch to the customer, who was likely asking for help to fix a weed whacker. You did this to people before when they did things you don't like; it would explain why the Beau had to get testy with you.

Condensed Stupidity said:
Dr. Belch: Treenbeen: What are you going on about? You're confusing two different stories.

And this is why a lot of us call you a filthy fucking liar Tanglepubes.
 
Oh my god he actually used "half-past 1997" again.

I know he's talked about it before, but I still can't believe he thinks that "college perks for 40something loveshies" BS is a viable idea that will make him a fortune. And no matter how many times I see it, it still boggles my mind how dead-set he is on "ruining" people who wronged him twenty years ago.
 
He is so damn crazy.

But it's interesting that he admits, at least in those conversations, that "Ashleigh" wasn't actually rich and that her father wasn't actually a lawyer. That's the first time I've seen his delusions bow to reality.
 
This is a lot to go through but the one thing I can't get past...
I can build a couple of apartments in the back, bring in some wild local girls from the community college, pump in the music and the TV shows we loved from half-past 1997, really live it up.

What college age woman is going to go for this? Hang out in a building with old dudes listening/watching old ass shit? That sounds fucking awful. I assume he'd have to pay them because no chance in hell they'd do that AND feign interest in old social retards like this. Then he implies they'd all get laid? That is straight up prostitution.
 
Was re-reading the thread and came upon this gem. In the following, Iconoclast is listing the differences between him and Chris.
Vast. My artwork and writing is superior, I know how to cook for myself, I shower regularly and exercise, and I wear clothes appropriate to my age and gender.

This is from the guy who met up with Ashleigh on their first encounter wearing a cap with a bunch of pins, purple pants and a weird novelty shirt. Fuck, it wouldn't surprise me if he was actually wearing the cape from his comics. I bet she took one look at him, recognized he was an exceptional individual and moved on.

I am more and more swayed as we peer into the rabbit-hole that Sweet really is autistic and his issues stem from an inability to adjust to the real world.

As a college aged woman: no college aged woman would go for this. That's creepy as hell.
 
I also really like how he says he wants to help guys who "didn't have the brains or money" to attend college when they were younger. It sounds noble until he reveals that he doesn't want to help them get an education, he wants to help them get china.

Well, and... I'm sorry, but what self respecting man is going to move in with a bunch of other unemployed, uneducated middle aged dudes and college chicks to party under the guise of a bookshop? Tom Cruise? This isn't Risky Business, people.

For fun (and curiosity), I actually looked at what the top ten songs were for June 1997:

No. 1, "I'll Be Missing You," Puff Daddy & Faith Evans (featuring 112)
No. 2, "MMMBop," Hanson
No. 3, "Say You'll Be There," Spice Girls
No. 4, "Return of the Mack," Mark Morrison
No. 5, "Hypnotize," the Notorious B.I.G.
No. 6, "The Freshmen," the Verve Pipe
No. 7, "I Belong to You (Every Time I See Your Face)," Rome
No. 8, "It's Your Love," Tim McGraw (with Faith Hill)
No. 9, "G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T.," Changing Faces
No. 10, "Bitch," Meredith Brooks

What a great line-up for the modern, college age girl. I don't think I've heard any of these songs in the last ten years.

EDIT: I just love that it's all supposed to be the music "we" (read: he) love but I'm fairly confident that Sweets wouldn't dare listen to Notorious B.I.G. or Diddy.

If we're using this argument only 3 maybe 4 of those songs are good. And listening to Hanson with a bunch of uneducated old coots sounds wack as fuck.
 
Does he think Old School was a documentary?

Also, serious mission of mercy stuff: it would be kind to tell him that low-income people can get help for getting new eyeglasses from their local Lions Club.

True. I actually do some work with the Lion's Club. They are very willing and able to find medical equipment for low income people, hearing aids, glasses, etc.
