Competition Time at JC land

Well.. I for one never expected to get death threats on a message board…. it just lends emphasis to how ridiculous this whole place can be. People are accused of being in a clique just by agreeing with somone on a thread. Others want people to think they know you, when actually they don’t. The truth fades into insignificance as people try and score points… and for why? I really do not understand what people do it all for. Its a waste of time and energy. The majority don’t care, and those that do, care for all the wrong reasons.

she said what ive said before and you’re the one following my posts dear :)

I may be boring and sit on the fence (as pebbles says I have the splinters to prove it)
but why should I enter into rows I care nothing about
Even daft threads I have made turn into biatchfests (and I dont mean only the ladies)
Are all message boards like this, because I have never read any others
I know PB loves the fights because it attracts the punters and I understand he has to make money to run the site
I only know one or two of you personally and I am my own person in that I don’t talk privately to any of you
I even feel wary about posting this because I feel anyone who has views opens themselves up to smart alec replies
Well
rant over
have a nice day everyone :)

and remember
there are human beings with feelings at the other side of your screen
and those that say the are only words on a screen should realise that we arn’t all as sensible as yourselves.

I only belonged to one other message board, and there were often fights. I engaged in a few of them, but when things got predictable, I bowed out. There really is no point in repeatedly stating one’s case. If one has a cogent argument, and it is not received, then the likely-hood of it being embraced through sullied comments is poor, indeed. Not that poking fun, isn’t…well, fun, sometimes, but it does eventually get stale. It certainly doesn’t lead to any kind of endearment, and polarizes the points of view even more. There is usually one point upon which the adversaries differ, and neither will, or can, relent, because they believe their character is at stake. We all hate to be misunderstood, but bemoaning that we are misunderstood doesn’t lend credibility to our cause. Why? Well, because the other viewers, whom we are worried won’t understand us, actually understand the situation pretty well, and thus stop pay attention. I know I do. I gloss over the diatribe in favour of more stimulating material.

Well, as a species, we are nothing, if not intrepid war-mongers. Our history has established that, all too well. At the end of the day…F uck it, let’s dance. :D
