No fighting. Just sifting. I don't debate well. It's pretty obvious I take things way too seriously. It's tough for me to stop because I'm a hard headed and opinionated asshole. But I love the Sift. By which I mean I love all of you. Even the people I argue with often. There really is no other place like it. It's home for me and I still want to share videos and leave stupid comments. So, I will make every effort to chill the hell out and calm the fuck down and also not to curse so much. Meds are probably in order but I'd rather not be "normal" from what I've seen of it. Anyway, apologies all around if anyone gives a shit.

Disclaimer: I will probably blow all this a week from now regardless.

I suck.

rougy says...

Okay, me too.

It is a great place, and as soon as I get something vaguely resembling an income, I'll kick in a ducat or two.

You aren't the only one who goes apeshit here once in a while.

Fervid. That's right on. I like that .. I want to continue to be passionate about things. I just haven't found a way to dial back taking things too seriously or personally and still be myself, fervor and all. I get angry a lot and I don't like it. I know people spout off on the internet like it doesn't matter, but I'm not one of those people. I just need to chill a little bit. Or learn to let things go. Like a friend advised me here recently .. "sometimes you just need to tell them "this conversation is over" .. lol.

I also have a rule. Never leave your penis near rottenseed's mouth lest you want empty testicles. Oh and you certainly do not suck, burdy. I enjoy our spirited debates. I enjoy all debates on this site, even the ones where people downvote my comments for using the word "koolaid".

Just know, the debates that go on in here are scarcely personal. I mean, look at NetRunner and me. Never have you seen a more polarized viewpoint, but we're still cool and certainly there's respect there. Now stop being a big nerd and give papa blankfist a hug.

I'd rather you be an opinionated asshole, than a dosed up zombie, shadow of yourself bore! Stay off the meds man, good for you.

Not that I think you're an asshole, I just think you're on the edge a lot. But I do love how honest you are and how you wear your heart on your sleeve. There is something so endearing about that quality

Meds, although helpful in some ways, destroys the person inside... Never loose your passion or your opinions for without them you are merely a drone.

Be true to yourself and Let your strengths shine!
I've never thought less of anyone because of their opinions, only their actions...

Aww, I love you too, pigfucker.

*hugs*

burd, don't be too hard on yourself. blankfist is right, it's best to try not to take this stuff personally. I also find it helps to start from the assumption that those who bother to open their mouths here have done some thinking about their positions, and if you take the time to give them a reasoned challenge to their assumptions, you can have a meaningful conversation. If that turns out to not be the case, it's usually best to just move on.

I don't always live by that advice, but I try to.

I'm late to this love fest, but speaking for myself..... your comments are good to have. Most people enjoy someone who really cares about what they are saying. I, for one, really respect that about you.
