this ain't the ASMB, we're all kinda internet refugees here. It's been pruned down to a fairly small community. Be nice if we could attempt to learn what pisses each other off and maybe, instead of doing that thing first and alot, we try not doing it in deference to our boardmates.
Seems a simple enough thing. I mean, I can sort of do it most of the time, and I'm an idiot. So anybody should be able to accomplish it.
Basically, if this is where you're gonna hang, Mochi comes with the board. Same thing to Mochi with Jman. There's no reason you can't make some small attempts to actually accept that reality.
JMan is a cynical and blunt. Mochi is a bit overly sensitive. K? We all know that. So why is it so hard to expect that from each others' posts, and move on?
Mochi is the way Mochi is because of stuff. JMan is the way Jman is because of stuff. Neither one of you appeared from thin air on the internet. You both have all kinds of experiences and things that made you the way you are.
Please, to the extent you are able, at least attempt to acknowledge that complexity in each other, and try to have some respect for the fact that you are now, and for as long as you both shall live, boardmates.
You know some of who each other are. So - nothing either of you posts should particularly shock the other. Unless one of you actually started to be nice to the other one. That'd be FUCKED UP WEIRD AS FUCK.
But while Jman shouldn't be shocked that Mochi is posting about general gayness, and Mochi shouldn't be shocked that Jman seems to like almost nothing anybody posts about more or less -
It's not all there is to either one of you. There's a lot that neither one of you gets about why you are the way you are and do the things you do and post the things you post.
Try to respect that, and try to respect each other, and if not that, try to respect that you're both here and you're both kinda family. And it's obviously a pretty dysfunctional family. But many are and it is what it is.
You're both here. You're doing something together. Every day. Try to have at least a little respect for that, and the fact that - there is at least that one thing you have in common.
when you wander in and sit down at the internet table, it's this one.
you have to try to get along.
