Reality check time, folks.

It doesn't matter, guys. Cedric can fight his own battles. Chill.

linus, we are not talking about his whole time here. we're talking about this incident right now. again, you do not understand what's going on and it's been explained many times by now. don't bother undoing your craniorectalinversion it's in way too deep.

You're all a bunch of punks.

Too cool for this forum. You must log off now.

This forum is my life though. 

Yea, their was a time where I actually cared about this place but then... it changed and I didn't laugh or find anything intresting, and Now I only use this place to burn a couple minites here and there.
    But I also like to use this place to look at other people's markers and see their ideas about them and what not, I'll also help people make a decision on marker upgrades or help them with marker trouble, but meh? I usally just come in here to either get caught up on the news, and listen to some "DECENT" politics, or quick little laugh and go giggling away. It's sad to say I care about this place as much as a Tom Cruise cares about Jesus.

Yeah, my bordem in real life has lead me to caring about this forum. I think that's what it boils down to.

Like I said- I'm one of those altruistic types. I genuinely beleive that some people really needed to hear this.

Liquid: Basically, yeah. Many of us will nonetheless choose to be, but noone is under any sort of obligation whatsoever, and we need to realize that. Many people post on the internet specifically to avoid accountabiltiy or acknowledgement of who they actually are. Expecting any behaviour better than simply not being illegal is unrealistic. It's nice that others are respectful, but I've seen enough crap online that I do not expect anything better. The reason I do participate here is that fortunately the standards of social decency are much higher than a vast number of other websites, and that makes this place more pleasant to be a part of. I certianly won't lose sleep if it turns to crap though, and online I refuse to in any substantial way judge - or be judged by - total strangers.

All I'm trying to explain is that far too many people are way too emotionally invested in meaningless crap that happens on the 'net. Nobody should stress out over the internet until and unless it comes to have some concrete impact on your real life. At best this should be an amusing aside to real life. None of us have any real reputation to defend here- I don't care if the name Brihard is mud three days from now. I don't cling to whatever credibility I've garnered online. I've got a real life for that.


Ced: I would say I'm too grounded in real life to care about what happens on the internet. The rest is essentially correct.
