Journal Journal: discouraged with this system

I don't understand this /. system.

My story ideas are okay but they are rejected, my posts, meant to educate, are termed "troll", and my karma is rated as bad.

These guys make it sound like I'm some sorta mean spirited goon who wants to cause problems.

I don't understand it and it's gotten me very frustrated.

Journal Journal: What makes sense?

I've been reading a lot lately about the sorry state of reading and I began thinking. Some of the brightest people I know don't really read anymore. They use audiobooks. Think about this...you are paying money for a tape recording of someone reading a book for you. And with that recording you get their inflection, their imagination and their methodology for how each character will sound. You don't use your mind or imagination at all if you don't want to. It's essentially a visual-less movie version. I like the old fashioned version of reading myself...thanks.
