"All human interaction is subjective. You can't, indeed won't ever be able to, alter that." -- EXACTLY.
so if all human interaction is subjective, why do certain people feel the need to bash others and then go rally their friends to join in on the bashing? or to deem a thread as "pointless" (which is another subjective term) and again rally their friends to hijack and derail it? =p
making rules of nicety for an internet forum would be stupid, but assuming that we're all adults and know how to behave as such doesn't seem to be working, either.
we have "common rules of decency," though -- and it seems that people are more likely to blame the victim of events like this by calling them "whiners," than they are to call out the people who engage in this type of silliness. people who speak up are branded as "whiners," and most of them simply leave the forum altogether, leaving the people who hijack, derail, attack, and snark to their own devices.
the forums on CM have gotten worse. there's a reason for that.
I am not so sure that it is a rallying of friends, as much as it is folks who all think the "bashee" is a moron. I think you will find, if you hang around, that some who rally together against someone one week, will be fighting like hell the next over something else.
Some subjects are thought to be idiotic by many. Some posters are thought to be idiotic by many. Same applies to "coolness". It really just is what it is, and in the long run. it don't mean a thing.
