Jesus Christ, some of you people act like goddamned first graders. If someone annoys you by mere virtue of their existance, ignore them. They are generally not worth the time and effort you're taking to get a bug up your butt. If someone has genuinely insulted you, then take it to the mods. (And genuine insult does not include the whole "existing" thing.) You don't have to fucking respond to every post someone that irritates you has mad. I swear, I've seen sharks at a whale carcass act more polite than you people.
Honestly, do y'all act like this when you're talking face to face with someone? If you do, you must have a very lonely existance.
Do me a favor and grow the fuck up. Or leave the forums, if you hate them and the people in them. The one thing that I like about the furry fandom is that people really do give a shit about one another and despite our general dramawhoring we're overall not so bad. I don't want to reevaluate the fandom based on one forum, but considering it is the one forum I spend most of my time on...it's influencing my views of the fandom unneccessarily. I'm beginning to thank God and my parents that I've got my own room at AC--just so I can get away from this shit if need be.
And yes, I am too pussy to post this on the forums themselves. But I do know that a good number of you watch my journal.
Criminy. I'm gonna go lurk on Furtopia. Their rules may not make much sense, but at least there isn't so much drama because of it.

I am directing the "grow up" comment to the forumites, not to the mods. I don't believe the mods are abusing their power. If anything, they're not using them enough. You only have to I don't believe they're going too far when they tell peole who are, quite frankly, being rude asshats to other forumites to STFU. I like the forums. I don't like conflict. I don't have energy for conflict.
Go ahead and think that I've got my nose up the mod's asses, or whatever. I'm so goddamned sick and tired of watching human beings turn on each other because it's the internet and anonymous. There's a person behind that screen, it would do well to remember that.
Sorry for ranting on your journal here, TCD. You can expect it won't happen again. I'm out.
