A forum starts as a place to chat about something generic . You sign up to a forum to post about final fantasy , or FPS games. Whatever you sing up for .
Usually you start off with few friends , and no avatar . You post at a forum for a while with a lot of innocence . Then one day things start changing you make friends , and also you run into people who despise you.
Now, do not section this off because this reply was meant to be replied to as a whole series of events ,and as one idea.
You start to have to defend yourself often, and you get into intellectual wars.
Those that are good at these wars always end up having to defend their turf. People always want to try the avatar, and member at a battle of wits. Or at least prove that they are not dumb , or at least as smart to that person and others.
(mind you I usually just post at a forum, I do not try to start fights near as much as people pick on me now)
It becomes one addictive battle after the last. Some people become machines that have to prove they have the most logical, brilliant minds, (programming if you will . )
Or some just love to argue, for whatever reasons.
The main form of expression here is ideas, thoughts. Not misleading actions , that we have little control of at times. We can spell check, and think out each of our statements.
Also , from my experience having only text to express our selves ,we need to work hard to say the better things to not embarrass ourselves in front of our friends that post here.
It is human nature to fight more than to have peace. The human is always in conflict with others, or him/ her self.
In my opinion forums always become a intellectual battle zone. Of course you can avoid many threads, but wherever I posts on certain forums I know someone lurks , ready to insult me ,or take me on.
Forums, have always changed from non personal and fun ,to personal and too energetic. People either hate me, or just love to argue with me , eventually.
Perhaps I have it all wrong, how much do you think forums change as you post in them through out?
Were things more peaceful , and better off when you first started posting ?
Is there too much arguing now, what has this forum become for you?
How much time do you devote to it, how much does this place mean to you?
If you need more for a thread just ask, and remember this is not necessarily about me this is just what a forum usually becomes for me...unfortunately. PEACE OUT, and I hope to keep the peace. This is only based on one other forum, but I have posted there for a long time. Meet many different sorts of people.
