Snoopy, are you self consciousness? All of us includes you? Self-consciousness is an acute sense of self-awareness. It is a preoccupation with oneself, as opposed to the philosophical state of self-awareness, which is the awareness that one exists as an individual being

And I resemble that remark, so I made a snarky comment, which I thought at the time was more on topic.
So which was it? Was I actually exhibiting signs of my self-admitted self-consciousness? Or was the person who made the comment really just deflecting attention from their own self-consciousness, in hopes that I might shut up?
I won't even go into someone posting with unattributed sources. This is a hobby board, not a masters thesis. And it's an interesting response on a number of levels.
This might be a good topic for a Co-ed thread: "Self-consciousness in the hobby, how has it affected you?"
Anyone want to kick it off? I don't want to be the one to do that, because people might think that I'm self-conscious about my self-consciousness.
