There was a lot of good information in that thread.
Are you kidding me. I wouldn't buy a purse for an investment. Also, you better make sure that the purse you buy is legit. (There's a lot of knock offs)

True. Proven when Microsoft built an AI/machine learning bot to engage in social media, it became a raging fact-free racist quickly.

There's valuable insight shared here. There are quite a few folks who say things regularly they'd never say in person, nor want attributed to themselves.

Nobody specific in mind. I've just read many comments before that have made me cringe, for being pointlessly insulting, completely fact-free, and/or illogical.

If you're playing with a dude who is hackin' hard, arguing called fouls, and generally ignorant, you have to make a decision. Do I stay here and continue playing, get in a fight, or simply remove myself from this nonsense?
I think that we all agree that bullies are bad and deserve their comeuppance. What is just as bad as bullies are the whiny self-righteous weaklings who are always unjustly accusing others of bullying them when they don't get exactly what they want when they want, or when such pussies pick a fight and the other party who defends himself gets labeled the bully.irvinehomeowner said:Perspective said:It reminds me of pick-up basketball.

I have a personal disdain for playground bullies.
Usually when someone like this is at the courts, I say something. It has got me in near fights but I never let it get that far, and I'm usually the one breaking a fight up.
It boggles my mind when someone gets violent over a pick-up basketball game (or a TI e-argument... if you know who I'm referring to).

Bullying is bad but the definition of bullying has been expanded so much that it is beginning to lose any meaning.
Even confronted with video evidence, many parents still refuse to believe their own kids are bullies, liars, cheaters, harassers etc. and such evidence will only serve to inflame such parents.jmoney74 said:Happiness said:I think that we all agree that bullies are bad and deserve their comeuppance.

You know growing up and seeing all the bullies.. just really shocked and still shocked about how fights and bullies can still happen. With teachers and what not.. even today you can get cameras throughout the school and nip it in the butt. However, it still goes on.

Certainly. All similar commentary quickly settles near the lowest common denominator. You just have to define your tolerance level for nonsense, and remove yourself accordingly.
