OKAY, THAT'S IT!!! I'M GETTING OUT THE SOAPBOX!!! (Throws crate to the ground and violently steps onto it.) I did NOT want to say this to anyone since I usually keep my mouth shut about things that bother me, but with the average conversation with someone on here at about 4 words a day, I've had it up to frigging <-- HERE with you people.
Is it me, or does EVERYONE HERE WRITE A ONE SENTENCE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING THEY TYPE?!? Seriously, I'm getting tired of writing these long, lengthy replies to people and getting, something along the lines of "Okay." back. I mean, it REALLY that hard to take 5 more seconds of your time to put something thoughtful or insightful into your comments? Seriously, trying to have a conversation with someone on here is about as difficult as digging through granite with your bare hands. THIS <^<^< is why I don't have a lot of friends or followers on my channel. I mean, yeah, I get it's the internet and you don't want to tell people, say, where you live and things like that, but what does it hurt to say, talk about what happened to you last week at the supermarket? That's general enough, it doesn't leave you vulnerable to identity theft! And if you're worried I'M someone even remotely along those lines, would I: 1. Take the time to type out long monologues to you when I could simply move on to a different person a little more dim-witted and loose-lipped? 2. Even bother contacting you in the first place when I have the internet at my disposal? or 3. OF ALL PLACES I COULD CHOOSE TO HACK ON THE INTERNET, why, in the name of sweet Aunt Jemima would I choose a website for animal and anthropomorphic art, story, and roleplaying of general and explicit nature? I mean, do you see someone say, "Hi, I'm going to steal your wallet and phone, think we can be friends?" on the street? NO! I'm trying to frigging get a conversation started with you people! The LEAST you people could tell me is, "Sorry, I'm not really interested in getting to know you even remotely, so please cease all attempts at doing so." <-- IS THAT REALLY ALL THAT HARD TO TYPE?!? I'm even typing it out FOR you so all YOU have to do is copy and paste it into a message to me and hit the send button! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD PEOPLE!!! LEARN TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS!!! It's actually important as it will be a necessary skill for you to develop when you go out in the real world and have to get things that you don't have!
So if you are truly THAT lazy and can't take five minutes of your time to read this thing READ THIS: LEARN TO USE YOUR KEYBOARD AND FRIGGING TYPE MORE THAN ONE SENTENCE TO ME!!!
VENTING WHILE SCREAMING IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO RELIEVE MORE STRESS AS IT IS EXPRESSING YOUR INNER RAGE AND FURY RATHER THAN BOTTLING IT UP AND CAUSING PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!
V HEY YOU!!! Yeah, you, down there typing away in that reply box, I'm talking to you at this exact moment you are reading this very sentence and thinking, "Oh, he's not talking to ME obviously"! Guess, what? I AM talking to you! You see THAT up there <^<^? Take what you learned <^> THERE and apply it to V HERE! (If you need me to spell it out for you, DON'T FRIGGIN LEAVE A ONE SENTENCE REPLY!)

I guess I'll hazrd a reply and face your wrath. be it gracious and kind, or wicked and evil. btw, if you want a conversation, skype is waaaaaaaaaaay better than FA if you're looking to chat, just a friendly heads up.

OP
Thanks, I was kind of steamed when I wrote this, so I've cooled off a bit since then. Problem is I don't have a skype account (I know it's easy to sign up blah, blah) plus I don't really want people knowing what I look like. So the next best thing I've got is really just to type out what I'm thinking at the time in long, (mostly) unedited paragraphs.

oh, there's no need for video chatting all the time, it's more text based than anything else. i love it because i can keep in touch with my mate easily. it's also a great medium to meet new furs with :3
