And that's just one of the threads recently that has turned into a shit-on-OP fest. So, before you post a rude comment like that, remember there is someone who wrote the OP in the first place, and would like a positive post. And then don't post. Just don't. And chill. EDIT: On a side note, I really miss MetorSkunk. That dude was positive as balls.    | ||

Also, mtdew's post speaks truth. Also also, that "Abusive Parents" blog is perhaps not the best example, as it was truly ridiculous. I cannot fathom how anyone would read something titled "Abusive Parents" which contains the line "They didn't even buy me an iPhone" and respond with empathy. I'm often snarkier than is perhaps called for, but come on. Really? | ||

I think we had people telling someone to suck it up and work harder at school when their parents were actually physically beating them one time. Its been this way forever. Since 2008. And wow, that's a lot worse than this current one... holy! | ||

And yeah, this is a community with a large % of Asians. Weakness and mediocrity are not treated with compassion. | ||

My profile says 2010. I've been here a while longer. Iranon - I read that part as him being upset he never got any birthday gifts or anything. It was pretty entitled sounding but it was one line in the post that everyone jumped on, ignoring the rest of it and the entire point of the blog. | ||

You don't remember when Rekrul was modding and Chill posted actively in blogs section? Fanatacism, CM, moltkewarding, Mani even. The old TL vets were way more belligerent when it came to someone they thought was stupid. Nowadays, the mods are mostly impersonal and cleave to site policy rather than individual biases. The kids just whine about balance. There's hardly anywhere near as much venomous hatred between fans of rival teams, just in general TL is much more benign than how it used to be. Sure, there was more chumminess between members who knew each other, but when it came to general reactions to idiocy, TL was a much more hostile place in the past. | ||

I couldn't help but think of this clip Maybe it would help keep people from being so serious | ||

Everyone's view and definition of "abusive parents" comes out and they always feel the need to compare each other on who had it worse (who endured the most, who suffered, etc.). It's like a pity-party of dick-waving. There is several legal definition of abusive parenting in as many countries as there is on earth. So while it is pointless to compare one's experience with another, it is certainly not wrong to say (and it was the case in the aforementioned blog post) to point out that this mention of abusive is severely exaggerated. | ||
