The Like/Hate Thread

... Don't attack me. Ever. It's the wrong choice.

I was just noting on how the effect of believing something will happen your mind is more likely to adjust and help shit work. You know, like placebos. Like the thing you were talking about. You know, that whole part where I was agreeing with you.

I do have to say one thing.

If a comment like the one you quoted is considered "attacking someone", then I guess I can see how my posts are constantly perceived as me attacking people. I don't see how one is not allowed to simply disagree, ask for clarification, or flat out try to DISCUSS something without it being considered an attack. I'm not really totally even talking about your post specifically but just a generic thing that happens at times. Text, and the lack of emotions intended being hidden, plays a part in it, but are we really at the point in culture where anything short of an act of full and total agreement, compliance, and obedience can be seen by a fair number as verbally attacking them? I find it especially odd given that so many times others will openly go beyond such phrasings to say things like "You're a fucking moron", "Go fuck yourself", and similar and then take the stance that the other is being overly sensitive. Its just such a glaring contrast in forum "interaction".
