(43,049 posts)3. Meh. I get it, but...
take just a little blame for taking these people too seriously.
Typical argument:
"You're a monkey."
"I am not a monkey."
"Prove you are not a monkey."
"Huh? Why?"
"Aha! I win!"
Ever since the old froups, the first one to walk away from an argument was the loser. Stupid, but it worked that way. And there was nothing nice about unmoderated newsgroups-- I was once called a rapist in one thread and that thread always popped up on a google search of my name.
Anyway, as always, consider the source.
