ORIGINAL: tamaka I think people just like to talk about stupid stuff sometimes just as a way to break from the real problems in the world. Isn't it because everyone loves conflict and drama? I know I do! I don't know how anyone can claim they value serious discussion while ignoring practically every post except for the ones that provoke them the most... I guess it's not exactly a great feeling to admit that you have too much time on your hands and enjoy being pissed off and pissing others off in the same way you used to pick on your little sister or whatever (and she used to get in some good shots of her own every now and then as well), but that's almost definitely what it is for me! The P and R forum is an ongoing shitstorm... the lack of moderation and constant risk/expectation of personal attack is what makes it great. It's a guilty, mindless pleasure, sort of like watching a TLC reality show or something. I know for a fact that you get off on deeply personal, painfully judgmental attacks, tamaka-- it's what I like about you. RM's threads are only fun when everyone is cutting him down... actually taking them seriously would be so so so boring. Everyone knows that he deserves it, and it's so easy. It has nothing to do with what he says, and everything to do with the fact that he has absolutely no self-control and is easily provoked. I'm pretty much a full-blown troll at this point and he makes ME feel like I'm making valued contributions to the forum. I've run across more than a few anti-feminist types online, but they usually have that sort of overconfident bully thing going on, have a certain charm and give me the impression that they look after themselves and might even get laid in real life... there are actually things that I hate to admit I respect about them. They also tend to have a good sense of how not to appear weak to others. They probably work out on a regular basis as well, which usually takes a certain degree of self-discipline and leads to greater confidence. RM is not one of those-- he's more like some sort of phony crusader who is mentally about 6 years old. He strikes me as one of those guys who can't get laid so tells himself he doesn't want sex anyways, and pouts and whines and complains and tries to convince others that they shouldn't be getting laid either, because most women are horrible and they're just playing into their evil trap. He is possible the weakest, whiniest person on this entire board... and also not very clever. I think he might even be overweight or really skinny-- definitely something about him besides his personality is unattractive in real life. As such, he's an easy target. Simply responding to him isn't proving him right. If I got the impression anyone actually felt threatened by what he was saying, I might think there's something to it, but everyone just sort of makes fun of him and considers him harmless. In fact, he's such an underdog that I can't even be really mean to him... I'm actually kind of pulling for him.
