You're conflating internet interactions with real interactions.
You're conflating internet interactions with real interactions. I don't drink at all. Never done drugs and have never been drunk or anything. When I go to bars with friends I find that as the night goes on people become complete drunken idiots and are impossible to deal with. There's no polite way to tell a guy to stop talking to you about his chia pet collection or to keep someone from puking on your shoes or trying to start a fight. Best solution is to just not go to bars, which is what I do. If I need to fit in for some reason, I usually just pretend I'm kind of drunk like everyone else, which I haven't done since I was in my early 20s. Twitter, these HN comments, IRC, the whole internet is like a massive bar full of drunk idiots. Especially toward the end of the day. Something about the internet makes people turn off their rational mind and just spew hate, stupidity, propaganda, and lies. In this case, it's the same interactions and I get tired of it. You can't tell a belligerent drunk to politely stop smashing your car any more than you can tell a belligerent twitter user to stop talking to you. So, your comment amounts to judging my interactions with people professionally based on my interactions a bunch of drunk idiots at a bar. Nobody is a saint, and expecting me or anyone else to take abuse and poor behavior like Jesus before you'll think they're a good person is wrong. And, the fact that you are actually spending your morning (day/night) telling people how I'm a fucked up asshole because of how I deal with fucked up assholes kind of says more about you than me.
