You know what REALLY pisses me off? when I post a long rant someplace and the only responses I get are insulting or making fun of me.
Does nobody understand how to fucking read a post and actually think about what I'm saying?
I recently made a series of posts on a undisclosed forum talking about poor typing on the internet. I went out of my way to make it clear that I was not making any personal attacks, and yet what do I get in response? Insults.
Am I the only person on the fucking internet who understands the TRUE form of argument, informal logic, and logical statements? Seriously.
My post talked about how through the internet, written communication is pretty much the only communication that anyone engages in, and yet, so many people don't care about how they type. Nobody goes through that extra bit of effort to capitalize, and to spell check. Nobody seems to understand that the better your typing is, the more people will want to respect you. What would you think if a judge started talking like a teenager, and swearing every second word and all that? I doubt you'd have the same sort of respect, judge or not, that you would have for him if he talked the way a judge is supposed to talk. Similarly, the internet is perverting the English language, and nobody is stopping it. English is doing nothing, if not devolving back into the state it was in around the 1200's, where nobody seemed to know how to spell anything correctly.
I try to explain myself in a non-threatening way that is simply asking people to stop being lazy and make that small effort to capitalize, and use the spell checker, and yet every single response I get is an insult. Could these people be any more immature about this? Honestly, I hope to fucking god that there are more intelligent people than my experience of the internet has shown me, because if the whole world is the way the internet seems to me, then we are in big fucking trouble, because intelligence seems to be going right down the drain.
FUCK I HATE IDIOTS
