Thread Name: BS: The Trolls and Flamers
Subject: RE: BS: The Trolls and Flamers
The BS section: some people have said it's just for debate. It's not - there are other kinds of discussions. The constant fighting, I believe, turns off people who don't want to choose a side and defend a position, but that's pretty much what's expected what you get involved in a thread.
There are some who get involved in a thread only to bitch about the premise of the thread. Increasingly, what I hear when I read those posts is "Hi there. I'd just like to announce to you all that I hate the subject of this thread, but I am too stupid to simply not read it. I'm also stupid enough to tell everyone this by bitching about it." It's better to try to see some Humor Among the Fuckwittery (should that be a tune title?) than get frustrated and/or respond.
