Okay, so you're frustrated. Basically, your post takes some form of "shaming" route explaining how you're upset that Nubblites aren't living lives exactly how you deem they should live them. You posted on the grounds of you trying to "straighten up" -- "a group of men that I loved and respect" --- who are not fitting up to your expectations, like you're some kind of disappointed father or something. That's unfair in itself, as it pushes your subjective view of "shoulds" on a topic that has tons of variables involved that you don't seem to be considering. But at a more basic level, it's more than that.
I think you should post about what thread you're in. This is Rants thread. It's where Nubblites go to
bitch about menial shit that pisses them off in their lives whether they're right or wrong. It's about personal grievances; a place on the internet where people can bitch about shit just because they need to get something off their chest. So where do you get off on going all Captain Responsibility on a guy who was just trying to vent about his shitty day and the apartment complex that he hates, even if he did fuck up? Which brings me to my second point...
You've fucked up in this thread too. Probably lots of times, but I'm not going to read every page. I'm sure if I go back I've bitched about tons of dumb shit too that I don't remember,
because that's what this thread is for. Bitching about little shit that doesn't really matter, and then forgetting about it. I merely have to go back three pages in this thread to find this from you, last year:

Basically, you fucked up by not checking the email address that you put on your resume, expecting a phonecall. After this, there is a back and forth where people are asking you the
exact same kind of accusatory shit that you are doing to DH right now. And you go on to defend your point,
even though you fucked up, which is exactly what DH has been doing, and is probably what most of us would do in a situation where we fucked up and guys are sort of being assholes to us about it. Except that now, 8 or 9 months later, you're pretending like you've never made a stupid mistake in your entire life, and acting like you're some manly grown up, even though DH is younger than you by a few years and probably very little has changed in your life at all.
I seem to remember you posted something else work-related that you messed up on that caused you to miss an opportunity, but I can't remember and am not going to look it up, because my point has been made. Everybody fucks up. Maybe you should have a little compassion instead of forcing your ramblings that basically state how everyone should be more like you in life.
You know what's
really manly, or what you'd really do if you "loved and respected" Nubblites as you claim? Sympathizing with a fellow Nubblite over some shit that ruined his day, and perhaps commiserating with him with a related story -- or have you never been late for rent in your entire life? Have you always paid all of your bills on time? Seriously man, why do you expect that just because you have a stable job, a house, and a wife -- that everybody else is or should be on the same timeline as you? That is an extremely dangerous line of thinking to go down IMO and I'd prefer not to see where it goes.
He fucked up on a bill and was bitching about it. Again, that's what the thread is for. Misty stated, "$20 bucks says you never forget to pay your rent on time again," and he's probably right. But if we're going to attack everyone who bitches about something in life that is their fault, or a wrong perspective on life, or a racist attitude, or a stupid-ass drunk/high/angry rant, we might as well delete this thread, if not the whole god-damned board. FFS.
tl;dr - Tempest is attempting to be high and mighty and some sort of manly grown up to DH, when he did the exact same thing in this thread last year -- fucked up by missing two emails for an job interview, and ranted about it in the Rants thread. Basically rendering his entire rant on the previous page meaningless. The Rants thread exists for stupid rants; singling out a member as irresponsible goes against the spirit of the thread.
