Deceptichum

Mate, you saw the word 'fucking' and somehow took it as a personal attack. This has nothing to do with being friendly, it's about your personal shortcoming.

And frankly the Internet is in a good state right now in regards to waking up to corporate control. Socially it's exactly the same, you've got a diverse range of people all over the world. So no? I'm happy with the trajectory and I certainly don't want it changed towards the viewpoint of someone who thinks 'fuck' is the end of the world.

Mate, you're the one trying to enforce some prudish seppo standards about language etiquette onto others. Why would I do anything but not consider that a miserable existence, and thus call it out?

Oh no I called you miserable, how horrific.

Mate, it’s the most mundane comment ever. Why you’re getting at all worked up over it is beyond me but okay; everyone’s gotta have something in their life even if it’s being a miserable cunt on the Internet.

Cool? I’ve never had death threats in the past or now, so rather than taking that as an indication of the state of internet users I’d rather be looking inward, no?

You actually think “are you fucking kidding me” is swearing at someone‽

People haven’t magically changed as a species in 2 decades. We act just the same as we did before.

Are you fucking kidding me? What rose-tinted crap is this.

The Internet has not changed, we’ve been at each others throats violent disagreeing with each other since Usenet and dialing into a BBS.

Flaming, trolling, etc. have been around from the start.

The only difference now is algorithms, but we already split off into our own subgroups and communities long before they came along.
