I have a life, which is why I don't typically post massive walls of text arguing with people on the internet. Look, I have nothing against you personally. In fact, I usually agree with your opinions vis-a-vis the PT, and I gave you the benefit of the doubt for a very long time. When you posted your face comparison thread, I found it a little odd, but rather than jumping on the "Huh?" bandwagon, I decided instead to just steer clear. Why bother attacking someone on an internet message board? But that being said, I do find it a little irritating when I'm trying to follow and thread, and suddenly - BAM! - half my browser window is submerged in some stupid argument about something terribly pedantic that becomes impossible to even follow after the third or fourth post. Add the constant "misunderstandings" and hurt feelings, and it gets a little more than annoying.

So if you think I'm following you around sniping at you, then maybe you have misunderstood someone else for a shocking and unforeseeable change. Like I said, I have nothing against you personally. I just click "first unread post" on whichever threads I'm currently following whenever I visit the board. If I have something to contribute, I do so. If not, oh well. But when I see the entire thread derailed in this fashion, I feel compelled to add a sarcastic remark expressing my frustration over said derailment. If it seems like I'm sniping at you, it's probably because every time I visit this thread, you've pointlessly derailed it and bogged it down with argumentative nonsense.

You may see message boards such as this one as a place to flex your digital muscles and have a good quarrel with the idiots who don't see eye to eye with you, but some of us see it as a place for light, entertaining, and civil discussion about the series we all love. And when far more heat is generated than light, it's just annoying and obnoxious. Again, nothing against you personally; just frustration with thread derailment that is both uninteresting and ponderous.
