Yes. But if nobody likes you, why be here? And finding it entertaining? You think it’s entertaining to disrupt others? Pointing out the hypocrisy. You’re not trying to get along with others or enjoy yourself? Don’t you think these are traits of a destructive behavior. There’s tons of other places you could do much more good and enjoy yourself.
I’m not coming down on you, I’m helping point out these behaviors are dark and problematic for your own mental health. Entertaining yourself with this is also a dysphoric approach to chaos. Find some happiness in your own personal space because if you’re finding these insults entertaining, and arguments and lack of friends here entertaining, thats not healthy. That’s toxic to your own mental health. Do something or use the platforms I gave above.Where you can use your talent and it’s appreciated.

So you don't know much about me personally, Doug. And that's ok.
I have plenty of friends in my every day life. I also do plenty of good. In fact, doing good and helping others is what I do for a living.
I didn't come here with the intention of fighting with others. But at the same time, I don't take any of this serious. It's not problematic for my mental health, because it's no different then playing a video game. When I murder people while playing call of duty, I don't have mental stress cause I'm killing or trash talking people online. It's just a game.
This is no different to me, including these forums. It's all a game. It's a game that takes very little time to engage in, and is quite humorous at times. It's also intriguing, to me.
For instance, when I joined weedylar this set. I was VERY intrigued to see if Darkness would hit a netting tag due to their hatred for me, or if their principles of protecting netting tags would win out.
I found it highly entertaining to see how that played out, and how everyone defended their positions. None of it caused me mental anguish, because none of it really mattered. This game, these forums, are quite literally one of the least important things in my life.
As for the point about disrupting others... I hate to be argumentative with you Doug, but I think it's worth stating that you are semi-criticizing me for being disruptive and finding joy in that. But how many others in this game are the exact same way? There are many people here who have openly admitted to only coming back to this game to be disruptive and attack LaF.
Why is me being disruptive different than their disruptions?
Ultimately though - I appreciate your concerns, but I assure you, I don't need help. I have plenty of happiness in my life. I'm not a dark and twisty spirit.
I think, Doug, that you think I take this all way more seriously than I do. And it probably appears that way because it's easy for me to quickly write long diatribes filled with critiques of others logical fallacies and inconsistencies. You probably think I put a lot of effort into all of this, and thus it must be important for me.
I don't. I put very little effort into any of this. I just type fast and am capable of spewing thoughts onto a screen in moments, whereas some of the other players here might take much longer and require much more effort to put out the same amount of material.
