people forget the 'pen is mightier than the sword' thing.
there are several reasons for revealing your thoughts on a forum .. some of those reasons are especially not healthy - when they are poisoned thoughts.
- are you trying to influence others ?
sure, the more stable/mature people realize its only a forum - and come here for info - to share info - to see who likes the same things as you and get good vibes off of the shared entheusiasm, and then .. at times - to get a laugh.
sadly there are some folks who are in need of more .. there is a sense of power on a forum they seek. and some of these people are more easily influenced and manipulated by the ones who come here to act like tough ass forum gods.
- are you trying to simply get a rise out of people ?
never understood the 'poke a stick in the wasps nest' mentality unless you are so bored and empty that its all you have for human interraction and entertainment. I guess i answered my own point. Your character is so flawed and damaged that you need the SAFE conflict from others to amuse yourself.
I guarentee these assholes wouldnt do it in real like for the fear of being turned into a grease spot on the bottom of someones shoe.
so yeah, i think words are important ... they reveal your character ..
I'm constantly at a loss to see why some people want themselves to be portrayed as metally challanged bad boy fuck-ups where they arent wanted..
i'm sure there's a clinical term for it,
at any rate it's unpleasant. i dont get my kicks from unpleasantness .. i get it from good times ... and even on this forum .. with the right folks, talking about cool issues, yakking about movies we dig, and getting some good natured digs at each other - even i'm capable of having a good time here occasionally.
and i should say thanks for that - you guys know who you are ... its the only reason i came back. there were people i missed.
