Shucks, bjack - you know you love us, and crave that validation too. That's why you're still posting.

I'm now going to do an illustrated Tony_Tautology conversation loop here, just so we're all on the same page.

Sulpher, by no means do I reject affirmation. I, like many animals, tend to like being affirmed. Unless I am ripped on something, or exceptionally tired, I don't get too bent out of shape when I am called a fool, or worse yet ignored. I made the mistake of allowing myself to post while lit in the past and it did not go well. :cheeky: I'm still right though. My mom says so! So ppttptpttttttttt :p

I find the conversation here much more interesting than silly Yahoo comments and the like. :D

Thanks though for the posts of various "Tony" memes. I thought ducks were oviparous. Couldn't "she" just smash her egg once laid? Would that go against the "right to hatch" people?

As for the term "hater" I really do not care for it one bit. It is a fascist's term. Don't like something someone says? He/she is a hater. Hey, I am not fond of skunky beer, such as Corona. Does that make me a Mexican hater? What if I wear a sombrero while downing a XX Amber? Does the hat lover cancel out the hater part? Or is it like everything PC? Once labeled as a hater, you are to be thrown into the "ovens"?

"Haters gonna hate..." OK, "Rapists gonna rape!" So? What is so cool about stating the obvious? Oh, they mean "get over it"? It is one thing to discount someone's distasteful speech, but what if the "hate" is burning down your church? And of course the whole rape meme is silly and insulting! "Killers are gonna kill!" What killers? Killers of ants or aunts? One is legally paid and generally lauded. The other is usually sent away for a long time or exterminated himself.

These silly little catch phrases used to be looked down upon as something idiots use to motivate themselves. Motivational memes were posted everywhere in the 90's, so much so that fun parodies of them came out. Dilbert is sort of one giant continual anti meme in my opinion. I have some favorite anti-motivational memes, but I can no longer post them for fear of being called a hater. You know, "Haters gonna hate!" :joke:

Actually, I hope so too. I hope the guy learns to have some peace in life. He is not ready to understand what that means apparently though. He is too versed in self aggrandizement. Mea culpa. Not always though. I am trying to get better.

TTLG is a pretty friendly, easy-going place.
Yes, people tend to be dismissive and mildly insulting towards posts that they see as foolhardy (and the authors of those posts) but it tends to be very mild and mostly good-humoured banter.

I'd almost say that these forums are a counter-example to people on the internet all being mean.

Compare them to online gaming, especially MOBAs like League of Legends, where you're lucky to go a few games without seeing death threats and people wishing diseases and death on each other.

Or compare them to the commentss section on "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit" over on YouTube, which is filled with post after post of people wanting to apply that solution to various real-world societies or groups.
