Have you ever taken the time to consider:
What you are posting will probably be a permanent record for posterity.
What you post is a reflection of your thoughts.
What you post may upset someone else.
What you post is only read by a few people.

Taking this into account, why do people act like what they think is so important they have to send it out on the web.
Taking this into account, most players here must be morons.
Taking this into account, I will let the next idiot have the soapbox.

No offense intended, these are only my thoughts, which I just had to plaster on the web, like any other plonker.
Good day

I thought most people posted their thoughts not because they think their thoughts are so important that everybody needs to hear them, but because they hope to get replies that give them new insights, a good laugh, affirmation or correction, or to get to know other people and maybe become friends. Personally I have both learned a lot and made friends (and enemies, which I could do without, but I guess that's life) here.

I wanted to reply to his post with something similar, but I was to lazy. Good point πŸ˜€

Interesting promulgation that what I post MAY upset somebody else. I would have thought that would be inevitable, given the fact that roughly 50 percent of people will at least disagree with what I say, so I can't escape upsetting somebody, no matter what I say.
And people still keep telling me that civilization was founded on tolerance and dialogue. :'(

Most players don't use the forums... so can't be morons, given your list of items to take into account. Sheesh.

Have you considered that long after you have gone from this existance people interested in you (say offspring) will be able to trace your years spent here in forum postings. Just as one might read about a famous grandparent in a book.

What you post here could well out live you!

Quite sure, Ice, that unanticipated dislocations and the loneliness of fragmented lives (w/ or w/out a viable life partner) answer the 'why'.
