The gist of it:
Why care so much, man? Its a friggin video game website where (mainly..) young dudes/kids talk tech stuff and have a little mutual ball busting.... Is it 'important' to you, personally, to be somehow 'accepted' in communities such as these? My wife and myself are members of several other video game/toy/pop culture-related websites that truly are like family. Most of the members of those sites are ages 35-55. There exists no 'trolling', disrespectful nonsense, or the like on said sites, maybe its the age bracket/maturity level? Whos' to say, really....
I mean, come ON man; I posted a Secret Santa thread, and folks actually JUMPED me for it! LOL! To me, that is akin to offering strangers a FREE gourmet buffet only to have them spit in the foods and say "FECK OFF!".....the world is an ODD place, man...the internet MOREso...
Honestly, man, if you were to go down to your local skate park, arcade, or college pub, would you EXPECT the atmosphere to be that of the Dr. Phil Show or Oprah?!
;P
You were in a good mood, so BE in a good mood; you are (according to your threads, anyhow..) a grownass MAN, Linky, have a few drinks and a laugh, ya putz!!
