The way I see it, the many MD threads are just a symptom of the same drive to see himself typing. And the whole idea behind verbosity is that the things mastin produces aren't comparatively dense in content.

It looks to me like mastin is rejecting titles because they don't suit his megalomania, not because they're bad.

Psyche · Post Post #2700 (isolation #74) » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:30 pm

The Second Coming

It's perfect. For me, the central subject is his megalomania, everything else about mastin just justifies making this the perfect representation of that megalomania.

Psyche · Post Post #2701 (isolation #75) » Sat Dec 07, 2013 6:13 pm

You're missing the full significance of the title for a guy like mastin.
First, he's mastin2. MS received the second coming of mastin in order to be graced with mastin's mad skillz 2.0.
Second, he's an avid cult leader (check out his threads)
and megalomaniacal to the core - like anyone willing to compare himself to Jesus, either with PhotoShop, or with WWMD? memes.
like anyone who expects anyone to read the enormously long sermons that he regularly graces the world with
he even LOOKS like he's the second coming
Mastin thinks he's the shit; it's as if he's the second coming, itself.
But the way the title works is playful rather than satirical or snide. Being a megalomaniac has been shown to be an important prerequisite for being a good world leader. It's a pithy reference to loads of things about mastin at once without ever implying anything besides those things or existing merely to stoke an ego or quip about his post lengths which so many people argue "is not who mastin is".
It's perfect.
