heh...the benefactors
I have heard better lies than this one.
Let me add this to my - still perfectly true - first post here:
The concept of the .com founders of personal freedom is that they can do whatever they want wherever they want. That implies that they could not comply to certain standards meant to protect the (partially minor) readers of this board. Obviously, complying to normal social standards asks too much of them. So they had to find a place where they could relax (heh, talk about dbb.com as a relaxed place) them so much that they would not constantly overburden them. Maybe this wouldn't even have happened, had they owned the capability of getting along with others even if they make a mistake occasionally; but alas, no dice here either. If you are not capable to live in a mixed bunch of people, accepting that everybody makes mistakes, and are not capable of accepting an apology and walk on, you will inevitably be driven to find or create a place with a audience homogenous enough to never put you in front of such an enormous challenge to your character. Thus, dbb.com came into existance: A place where people can resort to the lowest forms of human interaction (well, for some posts, you have to omit 'inter') if they feel like it, or have nothing else they could keep up an illusion of self esteem with. Ofc, this is not the rule on dbb.com (given the homogenously structured audience there), but things like that can happen, easily. And be it that a dbb.com member has to get something there from another place where he did not get applause by everybody around him for his actions.
So that's the dbb.com. Not everybody behaves bad there all the time, but things can get really out of hand there (not from their point of view though), and the reason for that is that the foundation is foul already.
If people really do not want to grow up, they will always find a way to avoid it.
Kilarin,
I hate the attitude and the dishonesty behind the foundation of .com. So I will always speak out against it, as long as this issue is being brought up here. This has nothing to do with being bitter. Some of the .com founders behaved like dicks here, and when they were denied the right to do so, got all upset. Others could not calm down when KB made a mistake - he could apologize as much as he wanted. If things didn't go 100% like they wanted, they threw a hissy fit. Reminds me a little of my two year old son, but he has more insight already than these people. So if they show up here, let them tell the truth, which goes "we want to behave like dicks whereever we want, whenever we want, and weren't allowed to, so we created a place where we were", or STFU.
