The problem is that you can't change peoples' minds against their will. Period. We're all human and as such we're stubborn idiots that can't face that we might be wrong, and most of all that someone else figured it out and is publicly calling you out on your mistake. This is as true on all forums as it is in the outside world. What makes it even worse is that the nature of forums, being mostly more or less public makes it extremely easy for someone to voice his ill-informed opinion in a way that you might not see in life. The final straw, then, is that where in the outside world there's always violence as a last refuge, on the internet there is only unanswered frustration  An interesting point that someone else made early in the thread is that while your mild-mannered and considered responses will almost inevitably be astronomically greater in worth than the average forum post, but as a result you will be left out of the conversation as when it boils down to it a typical thread consists of two radically opposing groups or individuals arguing for polar opposites of opinion - often resorting to namecalling and nearly always overemphasizing their own case, while devaluing that of their opponents. Ugh, I sometimes wonder why I even bother reading forums - human nature really does make you sick | ||

TL is a pretty high-quality forum given its subject matter, I think. I hung around WCR for a few years and towards the tail end of it I'd literally be face palming myself and muttering aloud how fucking stupid everybody was. It could just be mostly the grade A moderation and asshole purging, but all in all TL carries itself pretty well | ||

I've gotten upset at TL posts that's for sure. It sometimes lingers for awhile until I see a group of teenagers walk down my street and everything gets immediately put into perspective for me. Those "kids" could be the same age as the posters on TL.net. haha.. no wonder we bash heads, they're fuckin 3x my age. | ||

Admittedly, I have complained (not on TL, but to my stream) about balance, but only when I am angry from losing a long game. When reviewing the replays, I always concur that it is in fact not balance, but rather my own mistakes that lead me to the loss. I try to stay away from balance threads, because I feel that some of these people are just a little too unbelievably ignorant.

Agreed. When you first read a thread that has been going for a little while, say 6+ pages, the length can add to the rage. I don't reply to the stupid posts in the first couple pages because I still need to the read the rest. Then, when you run into more absurd posts before replying to any of the other ones, the rage builds. Makes me think how all the dumb people went uncorrected before I got there. Maybe that's where the rage comes from: a disappointment in TL. Instead of posting angry replies, my practice is to type out my rage post and then erase it rather than posting it. It's really a fantastic solution. | ||
