Everybody's a keyboard warrior. The conversation keeps coming back to the same crap over and over and over again. And you and everybody else keeps pounding away at the same ideas over and over and over again. And it's just the same back and forth, and everybody loses patience, and tempers flare, because everybody thinks they're right and everybody thinks that everyone that disagrees with them are wrong and should take a moment to reflect on why the original person is right, except everyone is thinking that, and no one is stepping back. And it happens over and over and over again. And everybody sounds like a broken record. And then the mods and the admin get pissed off because they're tired of refereeing the same old contest every damn day, and they try hard to not get sucked in, because the mods and admin have their opinions, and they probably disagree with everyone involved too. And honestly, I don't know about other forums, but I now we all really didn't come here for this crap. This is not why this forum was set up.
So maybe everybody should just grow the fuck up, realize that you wouldn't dare argue about in real life what you're arguing about online, and find something else to talk about. Cause you're not gonna change anybody's mind. And you know you're not gonna change anybody's mind. And you know your mind's not gonna get changed either. And realize if everybody was doing this face to face in real life, a lot of people would be getting punched in the face. Including you.
So find something else to talk about. Save your sanity. Save our sanity. Save everybody else's sanity. Or don't. Because I know you're not going to. And I'm probably not going to either. And neither is anybody else. Because that's just the way things go online.
Oh well.
