This is the internet.
There is enough real conflict in the world based on arcane prejudice and provincial sectarianism without adding pretend conflict in a virtual world.
I like everyone on here I don't always like what they say but or what they profess to believe, especially when it adds to bad odour in the real world which leads to torture, murder and war but on the whole, within the full balance of things everyone here is fine by me.
Mysteries and enigmas are a call to a quest for knowledge.
You can choose to accept that call and look up what confuses you or ignore it.
Or moan about it.
It's your life, your internet life, do what you like.
1. I love how he says "this is the internet" as if that means he is justified in saying and doing whatever he wants, no matter how rude, insulting, obnoxious, and/or condescending. Sorry, but I fail to see how it works like that. Right and wrong are still right and wrong whether you are on the internet or not.
2. it is not a total virtual world in that the people posting here are real human beings. They have hearts, minds, and feelings. It is not pretend.
3. to both Bingowings and abc:

Let Warb be. He's not interested in your opinion, so stop giving it.
Right or wrong are subjective terms, you refer to my contributions as rude, insulting, obnoxious and/or condescending but others may consider your contributions in exactly the same way.
Warb you may not be interested in my opinion but that doesn't mean I have to edit myself or bite my lip and keep quiet in this virtual realm just because you wish it.
You are not the centre of my universe.
You have had me on ignore for ages and presumably unignored me enough to quote my post which was only related to yourself by the remotest of tangents so presumably you have a degree of interest in my opinion or you wouldn't have gone out of your way to read it.
Passive aggression and out of sight gossip are facets of my personality which I do at least try to keep under control.
I don't rally around to try and build up a body of opinion to get other people banned or use the facilities provided by someone to help form a break away group to distance myself from decisions I don't agree with.
Try doing that sort of thing in the real world and you will find yourself facing a very rude awakening.
I also don't go around wishing death on people or hurling fowl language at them for making harmless visual jokes.
Lighten up for crying out loud, bury that persecution complex and just live a little.
