Starting a Thread, Looking for Approval, and Getting Upset When You Don't Get It

[strider12]

I noticed some folks starting threads with links to new stories which belong in the Boiler Room but I guess they want everybody to see their opinion.

It goes like this:

1. Post link
2. Make comment about how society is going to hell in a handbasket because of a political BS (belief system) that I don't agree with.
3. others come in and disagree with the OP.
4. The OP gets mad, calls the one's that don't agree with them politically charged names.
5 OP gets in the last word and closes the thread like a 3 year-old.

I know, welcome to the internet.

Ah, yep that kinda went a different way than the OP intended.

As much as I distrust what I hear and read in the news media, I equally distrust what someone "heard" from someone.

Agreed. I just don't care about people's political opinions. They are usually worthless and can't be proven. It's all theory.

The internet forum equivalent of stomping your feet and running away red faced and crying.
