When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” ― C.S. Lewis Descent way (throwing out a quote) of dodging the argument, I guess. Im not really interested in pushing the issue though. I am, however, absolutely positive you realize the difference between doing "good" childish things (play games, read fantasy tales, you name it) and "bad" childish things (generally much lower level of empathy, thus not realizing the effects provocation, teasing, insults, etc might have on the target. And seeing things generally much more from their own point of view, meaning if its fun for them, then its fun period). At least give it a serious thought. Not really interested in an arguement. If you take a step back and think about it for 2min, I'll consider my posts successful. | ||

If you take a step back and think about it for 2min, I'll consider my posts successful. Nobody dodged the argument, but I'm not interested in getting lectured by some random guy on the internet. If you get mad over a fake internet poll you are crazy, there's no "oh won't you think of the feelings of these poor deluded people" argument to be made. People went nuts for NO GOOD REASON, if you want to lecture on maturity, there's a good audience for you to start with. | ||

Mobilize your much, much larger twitter following. Crush the top hat like this is a game of monopoly and he just landed on a boardwalk hotel. Do it for Poopfeast420. | ||

Agreed on the being crazy part. About the second part though, its hardly the worst crime in history to annoy a bunch of random ppl on the internet, but its really not something (going back to my first post) you should take pride in, which you definitely seem to do. If Im wrong, and you're thinking for yourself that "hmm, maybe I went a bit too far in this and it stopped being fun a while ago", then I humbly apologize for taking up your time and for misjudging you. Edit: Oh, and one of the reason I bother "lecturing" is because I think you might be susceptible to it and might actually think about it, as opposed to the average forum poster. Feel free to consider that as a compliment, because it is meant as one. =) | ||
