IJBM: SRS BSNSS

Sometimes his posts are provocative. That's something he needs to work on, and he's acknowledged that. Sometimes, though, he makes a fairly innocuous post that would be taken seriously if said by anyone else and people start flaming just because it's Chagen.

I though it'd be the other thread the one to cause the biggest shitstorm.

But yeah, replies like this thread's only make the cycle of drama continues.

I mean "OTC" as in SRS BSNSS.

I'm getting sick of people shitting on my threads because they're not 3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 page dissertations on life and philosophy.

I am still using the ignore list, and Chagen is on it. Yet nobody has the common sense to do what I did and not get black holed into a stupid argument.

We used to be able to have serious topics in IJBM.

On TV Tropes, a long time ago.

In the really old days, they were mostly drama-free, as well.

Though most of them were not very long.

Also, Chagen, while I'm not endorsing threadshitting here, I don't think that's why people do it. I think it's partly because your threads tend to be about personal issues that nobody else is interested in discussing or has anything to say about, and partly because you tend to include flame bait in some of your OPs, and partly because people are just being jerks.

Ummm we had them on a regular basis too, they just weren't as common. Also depends on what you find serious. They were on-topic even though they were not about pressing issues.

OK, I should have clarified, I meant they used to be slightly more common.

And actually, they were mostly quite jokey, still, though they had some serious posts.

But wonderposting and flame warring came later.
