Starting Shit With People...

Why... Why do we do it? Why do we care whether someone is wrong or right? Aren't we all just organisms trying to live?

Surely we're all just trying to get by...

Is it out of joy, spite, self-loathing?

I am curious. Here on the net, we have a nice clean slate; a tabula rasa, so why do we get so worked up over a post here or a thread there?

"Omg this is not the right forum!" *Freak out* *debate* *arguments* *flame*

As far as this forum goes, I am interested in what people say, but nothing they say will affect me negatively. I love it here for the sheer anonymity, the ability to say what the fuck ever, when the fuck ever, about the fuck ever... (pardon the excessive language, really degrades my overall point)

So why must there be brawl?

I'm not going with the cliche, "smoke one and chill out," there's much more to it than that.

So in this thread I ask you, what truly upsets you in person, in these forums and why?

- 4:00 am and after the bar :D

    I'm upset by rudeness, uncleanliness, stupidity, and overall unpleasantness. Online? Nothing bothers me except boring shit. I come on totse for release, entertainment, escape and to learn. If I can't learn or be entertained, I get annoyed.

    A very thoughtful and relevant statement that I can mostly stand behind... Mmmm, uncleanliness is circumstantial for me... I've traveled far and wide and I'll be the first to admit a ready bath is always available... Rudeness does irritate me. Wait, that's not right, INFURIATES ME! If we're all here living on a single planet then let's fucking enjoy it! Why must we make it miserable for our peers, our society?! We're all stuck in the same shit storm, let's at least try to enjoy SOMETHING out of it together and not fuck each other over...

    I have to agree. I don't understand why people can't simply have manners and behave in a polite and courteous way. I'm serious. It bothers me to see people out and about acting like fucking babies about everything. They complain about their coffee or food or they bitch about standing in line or they're a dick to the cashier. It's ridiculous. I'm always very polite because people deserve to be treated in a courteous manner. I'm also very clean. I like to shower 2x a day. I'm pretty sensitive to smell and I can't stand being gross, unless I'm out camping or something where it won't matter. When I'm in the city I have to be very clean.

    Online, meh, nothing much is around to bother me anymore. As a totse veteran, I don't get riled up easily.

    Personally I try to stay out of arguments full stop I really don't care enough about most things for it to be worth it. Maybe I'm just apathetic, there is of course the exception of my drinking buddy when I get drunk who seems to start arguments about anything...

    Welllll, I can say I've been guilty of that before... starting arguments for the sake of arguing while drunk. It's rather fun, I don't even believe 1/3rd of what I argue for. But I find playing the devil's advocate really lets one's self able to explore the psyche of another.

    Again, that's not me starting shit. That's just me arguing with my CLOSE friends :).

    Usually I do it to give entertainment to the other boarders. But if the flame war is going to be really boring, I don't reply. Depends how good and/or funny my comebacks are.
