…are just bound and determined to be cranky, unhappy naysayers online! Evidence and logic rolls off them like water off a duck. I don’t know why I ever bother engaging >_< They can be hard to spot until you do try to show them the light, though, and then you feel stuck trying to make your point while they just talk around in pissy little circles of negativity. Argh!
To sum up: http://xkcd.com/386/
For some reason I feel the need to totally agree with you on this.
Maybe, because I do the exactly same thing.
Sigh
Some people just don’t want to see the light we bring.

Do I want to know what happens if I blink? Hopefully it doesn’t involve Plague Rat.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the need to be right and how feeding that need isn’t always healthy.
More likely to involve a Weeping Angel, I imagine. Fanatic, perhaps?
I’ve done this a few times myself. Last year, someone on facebook had said that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was a better game than The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
I showed him no mercy.
And it turns out he was just trolling, so maybe I got what I deserved for trying to prove my rightfulness on the Internet.
Then again, things like that are things you just don’t say. Ever. Even as a joke.
It’s not even a difference of opinion about the quality of a game kind of thing. I might express incredulity at something like that, but I also firmly believe that people are entitled to their opinions about movies and music and games and such. The thing that got my all heated up was people just being unremitting WHINERS about having the opportunity to get an awesome thing and complaining that it’s just not awesome enough and mostly complaining in a really rude, crappy way about it.
Yeah, I just had a specific example. And I mean, I’m all for debates that are well constructed and not just a flame war, but things that do become flame wars are just the kind of thing that keep people from using the Internet like it should be: sharing ideas and discussions. But without the hate and stuff. And without dismissing everything they don’t like as “bad”. But that will never happen. Smart people like us just have to remember to keep it cool, always.
Because we are the coolest.
Keep it cool, boys. Real Cool
Cool as ice.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! High-larious!
