Sometimes I think the sense of entitlement is the problem, not negativity or a lack of friendliness. Sometimes, the facts are simply negative. That does not make someone mean, negative, enjoying of conflict, bitchy, unfeeling or anything else. It seems like the only emotion that is acceptable is "Whoopee!" Forget being unemotional. That is just downright unacceptable. Sarcasm, don't even dare!
A debate is a debate. Insulting a person's argument is not a fucking character assassination. I've seen one or two of those around here. Shit, I've even doled one or two out. However, that is rare. To hear some people say it, "boo" is being too damn mean and it happens all the time here. It doesn't. Focus on the negative and that is all you will see.
You don't need to start a bogus poll to complain about certain members.
No, it's not. I don't care if religion interferes with people's lives or if people find meaning through god.
Pad's right. This ain't no stinking movement.
