Comment Re:Uh oh (Score -1, Flamebait) 157

I don't get how, from my original complain, you think I don't undertand what 'bad guys" means. Of course I do. It's a term for little children.

My point was that it's a childish, borderline useless, term. Whenever I hear/see an adult use it it rings as "ethical assessment outsource to 3rd party."

Anyway. How could you possibly think I didn't understand the definition of "bad guy" ???

It also has a negative effect on adults.

It seems like more and more adults online communicate as if they were 15 years old.

If you try and have civilised discourse with someone you might only find out 3 messages into the conversation that the other party is 15 with no life experience and the insight of a potato. That's if you're lucky. Usually by the 3rd message the child is hurling insults and vitriol.

Unfortunately, those kinds of interactions have been normalised due to being exposed to them for several decades. Now, even intelligent adults act like petulant kids online. Unless you're in a specialised forum there is absolutely no point in trying to talk to another person in social media since it is almost certain they will throw a trantrum.

Man, I'm sorry you're going through such a tough spot. I've been there. I know just how disorienting it can be (on multiple levels).

I just want to remind you that this is temporary. You will eventually work your way out. It will get better. Hang in there and seek help if you're comfortable with that.

Comment Re:Give Trump his voice back - tired of the NWO al (Score 0) 311

I find it interesting that the Trump camp that is opposed to Biden uses name calling. I have not once heard them make a salient point. Now, I'm no fan of Biden myself, but I sure as hell won't be forming my opinion of him based on catchy insults.

The whole "let's call him names" strategy seems so lazy. It's only going to win over people who are already calling him names.
Everyone else just thinks his supporters are simple children.
