that's just your opinion

you shouldn't state your opinions as if they're facts, you know

what if i told you that subjectivity is implied, and that you shouldn't need me to spoonfeed you like that

well no you see, you're being aggressive with your opinions, and that's wrong because it hurts my feelings

i should be able to use the internet without having my feelings hurt by someone who has a different opinion than me

i should be able to have a conversation with somebody who understands that there's simply no such thing as "stating an opinion as a fact," and you're merely projecting your own lack of intolerance onto me to feign a sense of maturity

even if i literally said "my opinion is a fact" you should be smart enough to figure out that i'm just fucking with you because you're an idiot who deserves to be fucked with

wow reported for trolling, enjoy your permaban you asshat (please upvote for my original and quirky insult)

you know i see your point OP but maybe the problem is with you

i agree that subjectivity is implied, because having to say "IMO" every time is obnoxious and you shouldn't have to do it, but at the same time, you don't have to express these opinions with such aggression and hostility

Did this happen recently? Why don't you be less aggressive/hostile? I learned it's best to coddle people who are mentally handicapped in comparison to yourself; I work with a bunch of retarded sociopaths at work and my mental well-being increased significantly when I started treating them like five year old children.

a short dramatization of why it is utterly impossible for me to integrate into any internet communities whatsoever

nothing "recently," more something i've been cursed with my entire internet life

site's dying, trying to find other places to go, but can't, because i just get banned everywhere because of my personality

instead of being "less aggressive" i'd rather just find a community that will allow me to tell people to kill themselves all i want without getting banned

because frankly, i think people should be able to do that

being polite on the internet has basically no benefits, because nobody cares (and why would they)

Being nice & polite has benefits no matter where you go, IRL or on the web. How do you think I've cultivated my cult of personality? Through my personality itself, sure, but also just through being a plain ol nice person

I get you have all this anger, and that releasing it can be cathartic, but maybe focus on why you have so much, so you don't need to release it in the first place?

it's because i live on a shit planet comprised of nothing but the most disgusting, stupid, or evil people (or some combination)

i find that exceptionally distressing, considering that i don't have the option to leave, and that i'm expected to mingle and cooperate with them

i don't need to spend any time thinking more about that, i already have that part figured out

True - and most of us know that

I value truth, but I value happiness and contentment a lot more. If you pardoned these people who were unlucky enough to be born onto the same shit planet as you for their revoltingness and stupidity, you'll find that closing your mind is as easy as closing your eyes.

What's the point of being right if that correctness leads you to such suffering? For example, I could easily loathe you forever for supporting challenger in his fucked up accusation that I kill cats, regardless of whether or not that support was sincere, but I choose not to out of utility. You're one of the few active users here, and even though holding that grudge may be right, it isn't convenient or happiness-inducing.

You obviously disagree here, but yeah. I will never understand you - why you're smart enough to recognize the world for what it is, but not enough to know how to traverse it.

you always say interactions are the same on the internet as they are in real life

no, i've always said that the internet is a part of "real life," they're not separate, and that people are more fake offline than they are online

the fact that people interact with each other differently doesn't put it on a different plane of existence or reality

it just makes it so people can express themselves without being fettered or inhibited by social consequence, which they wouldn't NOT do if they could without the internet

”Being polite on the internet has no benefits” is saying you view interaction on the internet and “real life” as two separate things.

different kinds of interaction =/= different states of reality

a thing that i already said

Or, you think it’s ok to be an asshole on the internet and real life. Which I doubt, otherwise you’d have no friends. No, what you like to do is vent your frustration out on other people instead of dealing with those feelings in a less destructive way. People aren’t being babies if they get tired of how predictably angry you get over the smallest disagreement.

even if these people knew me long enough to "get tired" of me, which they can't, it's still not something for me to get banned over, since all you have to do is block/mute/ignore me and all of my big bad meanie posts will be hidden

but no, we have to ban negative people arbitrarily because of hurt feelings or something

"negativity isn't welcome here"

okay, point me to the place on the internet where it IS welcome, and i will happily go there

oh wait there is none, guess i'll just die because i refuse to be fake-positive just to appease idiots

Not that different where being polite “gets you nothing”. You shouldn’t be polite to get something in return, that’s just what you should strive to do as much as you can.

you're not wrong, but i never said you should get anything in return

i'm just stating the fact that you don't, which sure as fuck doesn't make it any easier (and you should know)

It absolutely is something to ban you over. If you invite some dude to a community and he starts talking shit to you and everyone else why wouldn’t you ban him?

literally and unironically because it's a free country, or at least that's the idea

that's why i want to find a community that allows me to do these things—but not even 4chan, with all its scumfuckery, will even allow you to be too much of a shithead before you get banned

Internet isn’t a country dude. Inviting someone to a community is like inviting someone to your house. You can say whatever you want but certain things will get you thrown out.

there is nothing anyone could possibly say in my house (barring threats of violence) that would cause me to throw them out

that shouldn't be controversial

there should be a "house" on the internet where i can say anything, because otherwise, some people don't have a place

Have these guys fucked yet?

For real now though, some fighting game discord server would suit you best. Or one with minimum moderation, too bad those don't last long.

One thing’s for sure, I’d rather fuck verbatim than your troglodyte wife.
