Does anyone else think that it's all too easy to fall out with other forum posters on this site? (apart from a dog forum I don't happen to post on the internet and that forum tends to be people helping each other with dog issues rather than arguing).

I have had arguements here and obvioulsy noticed others do this too. I am an assertive person (but fair) in real life but wonder if it is something to do with the internet and people tend to say things that they would not in real life? I do get into the occassional fight in real life but nowhere near as many arguements as on here. To clarify I do not go looking for fights but if I believe I am right I would rather sort something out man to man than run away, after a lifetime of boxing/martial arts its in my nature to face up to confrontations rather than run away, but I do not leap in I tend to look for diplomatic solutions first. But anyway (sorry aboout blabbing on but background is important) what do others think, why are there so amny arguements here? Personally I put it down to something like road rage, where poeple are at least initially in an isolated environment (ie their car) and tend to misinterpret events/motives of others and end up with a distorted view of events, also on the net I think you get a lot of people who are arguementitive that simply would not be face to face with someone.

That is a very astute synopsis.

maybe it has something to do with chess being an adversarial game that is often taken as a metaphor for wars and royal courts in combat. at least that might have something to do with it.

95% of what you read here is pure trash.
4% of what you read here is to keep the bored entertained.
1% is surely useful.

I would rec your post if I could.

Good luck finding a straight answer.

I think most of what people say here they wouldn't say in person, or couldn't think as quickly. There is editing, too. It's too easy.

Some people regard arguing and trash talk as a form of recreation. I've seen people make cracks at others and the other person comes in with a great comeback that makes me laugh. It's just entertainment. Don't take it too seriously and you'll be fine.

I don't think any of you are real anyway.

I'm actually a virus. He never in his wildest dreams imagined me. Right now,
I'm messing with several other characters in here and he's real pissed off at
it too. Heh, heh...

I'll never leave. Those are just things I say to throw him off. He takes a
glass of water, wipes the sweat off his forehead and takes a deep relaxing
breath... and BAM! I'm back! 😀

Love it! So much fun every time.

My mother used to say RHP's a big melting pot, because when you bring it to a boil, all the scum rises to the top.
