Quoted from Frax:Do you feel that they've succeeded with that? I sure as heck don't. There's still plenty of people on here that are just completely incapable of having a debate about a topic without it turning into a toxic mess. Differences of opinion that we all used to shrug and laugh about now are practically a "You might ACTUALLY get dox'ed" moment.....or in Kaneda's case, some prick might actually contact your employer and try to get you fired. The intolerance of anyone that has different ideas than your own here is so high at this point we're having to quantify it with scientific notation.
And a lot of it is the same guys that have been here since....10 years ago.
Picture a room. Now fill that room with Apex personalities. Successful, strong, independent, most think their junk is way bigger than the others. Sprinkle in some pointless Alphas to mix it up and throw in Betas for stress relief.
Now introduce a topic they’re in that room for yet have different points of view about it. WHALA! I introduce…
Ordinary people. Every chat group. Ever. Except RGP near the end. Frankenfurter, ZERO moderation or self control amongst a few severe distorted guys who took everything personal. I’ll take Pinside now and back then over that shitshow.
RGP was great for first 4 years I was on it. But damn it went south fast.
