The soft-skinned perish, only through repeated beatings does one grow a calloused persona and THRIVE in the increasingly hostile environment *shifty eyes* they're out there....

It's because there are more and more of you, you're mostly guys, and that's the way guys act. Girls smile and kissy-kiss each other and say "Your hair looks dee-vine today" and "Ooh, I love your dress" and "I love the color 'clear' on your nails" and then they sneak away for the serious backstabbing and revenge.

Guys don't bother with the nice factor - they just go for the jugular. And the stupid.

As the mother of teenagers, I find this place amusing.

Zim, if we were both chicks I'd say "hugs" and all that. Since you're not, I'll attempt to make you feel good with a pathetic attempt at insult humor with "your mother wears Army shoes."

haha so true about women doing that instead of wanting confrontation of any sort. But I think he was talking about recent events moreso than since ATOT's inception - when I'm sure the girl/guy ratio was even more slanted.

ATOT is addictive sometimes.. some people jus feel compelled to make posts in threads that they shouldn't huh?.. I love it when people talk and argue about stuff that they have no real life experience with.

What's even worse is when people who are experts on a topic try to make others understand something. It's a losing battle mostly.. because those who are wrong think they are right.

I love ATOT :D

It's been that way since I got here I noticed... not that I've been here long or anything. I try and ignore the criticizing asses because these forums are a great place. :)

I think it's much less hostile. With P&N going to a separate forum and the mods seemingly less tolerant, OT feels pretty tame now.
