In the real world you can generally walk away from total asshats, you can't on forums. Sadly terb is the only viable game in town.But seriously for a moment - i am always surprised when people act online unlike how they'd act in face to face situations.
If you can't walk away from someone there are usually some consequences on laying out some truth bombs on a person like getting fired.
I find I am very different on line than I am in person. I used to be much more argumentative in person, not insulting but I'd go into detail why someone is wrong. Over time it's obvious it is a waste of time and now in the presence of retardation I usually just shut down. Anything I say can and will be used to annoy me. It just isn't as easy on the internet, those words just linger there. Again it is a total waste to argue the point, it's just easier to call someone an idiot or a retard and be done with it, Get that cathartic release, and there are people who are just so far beyond the bend that they are not worth engaging in, both left and right.
My ignore list is massive, must be close to 100 if not more. Sadly that show ignored content button is there. I wish there was a second layer. Some people are just mildly annoying, some people have literally nothing of value to say like Mitchel and Frankfooter.
