Thread wasn't posted in RnF. Quotes were not taken solely from RnF.

S'okay, learning how to use your new internet can be a grueling endeavor. Take your time.

Well, the threads in RnF now!

I've been using the internets that al gore created for 10ish years, my bad for making a typo and not being able to edit it :P

See a doctor if the internet bothers you.

Its not apathy on our part -- its obession on yours. Like I said, ignore it or you will probably see a psychiatrist when life becomes unlivable for you.

There is science behind this view, not merely anecdotal observation.

For the most part the R&F is unmoderated. That doesn't mean that you can use racial, sexual, homophobic, ageist, religious, political, ethnic, or other epithets (such as against people with disabilities).

It just means you have a place that you can bicker with one another and not clog up the main forum.

"but omg wtf i have science GMs n there stupd rules need doctorz" is something you can take up with one of the above.

I appreciate your obession. Try smoking some weed though.




Owning Truth

We all periodically have such confidence in what we are saying that statements such as "I'm sure of it" or "The fact of the matter is..." play a natural part of our everyday vocabulary.

For persons with OCPD, facts and confidence are all too often turned into "I'm RIGHT and your WRONG."

"The way I see it represents the way it is, end of story".

For others, refusing to yield to the "correct perspective" often entails encountering tension and discord.

This manifestation of OCPD entails one's adamantly guarding his dogmatic beliefs to such a degree that casual conversation often converts minor disagreements into heated debates.

The relative importance of any topic (i.e. comparing the effects of regular gas vs. high test on a particular car's performance) rarely is of consequence in determining the degree of the intensity expressed in the midst of the debate.


Perhaps there are a few variables on this planet, which are beyond debate in their apparent universal truthfulness. "Humans are a living organism when there is a heart beat and/or brain activity" or "Rocks eventually tend to drop in a downward direction when released into the air."

For the person who experiences OCPD, abstract ideals and moral standards become rigidly held truths.






sounding more familar yet....

I'm only breaking your balls.

You should contact Rogean or another admin type, and express your interest in becoming a volunteer moderator, because you were familiar with this BB software and cared about the community, etc....

Everyone knows the world is fucked up so save your breath, is my point. Actually think about what you can personally do besides acting like you're the only person to realize this. That sounds more like depression and its serious. Whatever!

Much insight in that post.
And I have seen alot of the above mentioned scenarios taking place in pretty much ever single thread that has ever been posted here so far.
Gonna use something from there in my signature, dunno what line yet as they are all good.

Yeah I guess I can kinda maybe sorta understand being upset when someone says something offensive but what was posted here last night and this morning seemed to take that a bit too far lol.
