Post by meetVA »

so i've noticed a trend in the responses of individuals to questions posted on this bored and am just curious.

i thought the agro-behavior would decline once people got out climbing more.

climb more people!!! oops, i mean don't read that the wrong way, i meant to say, climb more rock outside my fellow rock climbers. or inside if that is all you have access to.

I think most tend to make assumptions and see the writing for what it is. I have found for the most part that what happens here is not fully representative people behind the words.

Sometimes I try to give a thoughtful (and always too wordy) answer (with too many parentheses).
Sometimes I try to give a smartass yet hopefully funny answer that makes about half of you laugh and royally pisses off the other half.
Sometimes I defend my friends from pointless attacks by aggressive trolls.
Sometimes I read the whole bored and don't post at all.
