Quote from: Zonda on May 10, 2016, 10:30:10 PMk famI don't know a great deal about you, but people with such a passive, non-confrontational demeanor as yours can really get on my nerves sometimes. You're the type of person who actively avoids all conflict, and chastises those who engage in it--or, if you're not doing that, you lay by the wayside to add useless snark on the sidelines. "Oh boy, here we go," indeed. "Wahhh, can't we all just get along?"The reason I hate this mentality is simply because it doesn't get anything done. I don't believe you can truly get along with anybody until you've had some kind of heated disagreement with them. It's within these exchanges that we reveal who we truly are, and what we truly believe or value--and it's through these revelations that we can develop more meaningful relationships. We attain a greater understanding of one another--and though there are times when people can cross the line during arguments, it's important to keep in mind that not all squabbles must spit blood. Some of them--a great deal of them, actually--are genuine forms of expression in which we reveal the intimate details of our beliefs, our psyche, or even our personal lives.Paradoxically, arguing with people on the Internet is one of the easiest ways to make friends with them. That's why it's important to fight, and that's why it's important to argue.I don't think you, or people like you, see that--and I think it's toxic to a thriving community.
hi
I'm imagining something about me not being very good at serious discussion and preferring to stay in the safe bubble of games and entertainment

Because you disagree with him and open yourself to argument he can tell what you stand for and understand you. It allows greater capacity for building some kind of relationship, whereas a non-confrontational person would remain silent and Verbatim would never know what kind of person they were and thus never really build any type of relationship with them.

I know his point, and I'm just saying that understanding someone and their values isn't as important as letting that someone enjoy their time posting on the forum. Not everyone likes to get into arguments or even make their values known to the public, and it's a dumb thing to hold against them.

The whole country could be burning to the ground--your family could all be dying of cancer--and you would be posting memes about it on the Internet. I find that your wit is wasted on this website, but you can be rather vexatious at times.And I think you know it, too. That's the worst part.
