I'll begin by saying that while posted under this thread, this thread is not the sole cause of the rant below, just the straw that broke the camel's back. Let's begin,
Perhaps we can all give the thread policing and villification of people's opinions and character, be it their real ones or those they project from the anonymous safety of a message board, a rest.
Let's keep to respecting one another here, we are all on the same team and 'winning' a debate on TA doesn't gain you any more respect, especially if done so by calling people out.
In my short time on TA, I've seen a shift in tone across this board. When I fist signed up, some veteran TA's expressed to me their frustration about these 'attacks'. I didn't see it.
Now, having met most of you and having some experience on this board, I find myself in the same boat.
This attitude some people carry is enough to make me want to write off TA entirely, if not for the social networking I get with people I know, people I call my friends and people that share my interests. And besides, why should those of us who come to TA for some good natured banter and information on events we might like to attend have to give it up because some people feel the need to qualify themselves as the smartest or coolest people on this forum?
Really folks, it's a message board.
Everyone needs to stop taking themselves so seriously and remember why they joined up in the first place.
I'm sure I'm going to get some smarmy reply to this so I'll save you the trouble...boohoo, stop crying, if you don't like it - leave, etc...Right? Well fuck you. I'm not saying this to elicit a reaction or to get any kind of discussion going on this, but it's a forum to post opinions and this is mine.
If Del were dead, he'd be spinning in his grave.
