What I find absolutely rediculous is why I occasionally get sucked into internet debates that I really don't give a crap about in the first place. It NEVER turns into a rational discussion about the topic, but only back and forth over the last thing posted. By the end, you are angry and fighting over things that the thread didn't even mention. Most of the time you get mad what what we think/interpret the intent of the last post was rather than the subject matter. It is absolutely stupid and unproductive and only adds negativity to your life...
And trust me, after last year, I MUCH prefer to keep postive people and energy around me. Seriously considering getting off this internet roller coaster.
whenever i post something in a more...volatile...thread, i rethink, reword, delete, and come back to my post several times before i hit submit. (maybe this is why my posts come off as intelligent, they are well-edited) i try to voice my opinion, acknowledge the other side, and back out. and when threads derail, i only read and don't post, unless it IS something i care about.
point being....either take tj's advice and don't let it bother you, or take mine and just....don't post! haha the internet is too full of people far too anxious to you (generic, not specifically you, kido) off!
Yeah, I follow that. I don't even START to get into a coversation I know will be an issue or I am outgunned (which is probably 99% of the time). I don't know much about much. Maybe civil engineering and enough to be dangerous about tri.
