And it's easier to attack ideas than personalities. Thus arguments escalate easier on the tubes.

I mean look, I'm a Christmas tree and if you can't win an argument with a Christmas tree... something's wrong.

wait what am I doing. Throwing up excuses when I actually agree with the OP?

You're just needling us.

he must take us for a bunch of saps.

It takes a lot of balls.

ATOT is a warm steaming pile of dogshit where all the neurotic self important shit eaters come to feed. It's too bad, it used to be a fun place to hang out.

It's time to take a stand.

Needlessly, I admit. Saps.

You can talk the stalk but can you walk the walk?

Yeah, the 'change of culture' or whatever they call it really took this place down a few notches.

that question has me stumped.

Glad we moved to the root of the problem, your ignorance. :p

If you keep insulting me, I will have to leave.

Wouldn't be so bad, you could branch out to better things.

I really don't mean to be rude, but since my return I have seen a definite difference. We used to have fun, telling stories, jabbing one another and chuckling about life's experiences. We had fun without post after post just putting someone down.

I used to enjoy telling stories because most enjoyed them, other than the mods at times :), but since my return I have reminisced a couple of times and all I get is derision. It doesn't destroy my psyche or make me want to cut my throat, but it isn't condusive to getting me to tell more stories.

We all come from different countries, generations, educational backgrounds and trades or professions, but it would be nice if we could all have fun without putting others down in order to make ourselves feel superior.

Now you can all go fuck yourselves!
