Being a whale is a little like have FU money in real life...
Yup, that's pretty much it, lol. It's definitely wise to check yourself though on occasion, being shunned by the community (at least the genuine, funny, and smart people) sounds like a lonely existence.
Personally, i'd settle for having enough and a good time. Not setting out to be the richest pob-er in the graveyard.
I'm with you there. There is more to life than what's in your wallet.
