I’ve noticed that there seems to be an emphasis on being extremely serious at all times, as if every single comment is a PhD dissertation being evaluated or something. There’s like this weird, subtle one upmanship about every little thing and a lot of people are very nitpicky and judgmental. It kind of takes the fun out of being on here, TBH. Or am I the only one experiencing this?

    Forgive me for stalking, I saw you got banned and had to get to the bottom of it. I’m not surprised but I am disappointed.

      It’s actually a relief that you saw it as well. Makes me feel not so crazy for being targeted like that!

        Yeah because if I remember, the comments they removed weren’t bad at all. You’re not crazy, some people are just so damn fragile.

            One thing I kind of hate is the abuse of the voting system, I kind of miss slashdot for its enforcement of a justified moderation for voting on a comment.

            So it’s annoying, but sometimes I just go around counteracting user-targeted revenge downvotes, even if I don’t totally agree with the comment. It feels like being the janitor.
