So far, I've had an awesome experience with wrongplanet. I've encountered almost nothing but open-minded, reasonable people. The PPR seems to be where all the petty, holier-than-thou, smarter-than-you, I'm-right-you're-wrong know it alls come to be total ***holes and insult everybody else's opinion (often without actually reading the post). I swear, there's so much knuckle-dragging, smirking negativity here.

Fortunately, most of the people here are alright, but at the same time there's so much arrogance and disrespect. :x

We should not try to judge other users. The most we can do is judge opinions...

Oh, Really? I don't. I respect peoples' opinion, not pointless rudeness.

This guy is trolling, whether he knows it or not.

Well, at least the second part of this is not so bad ...

Someone more eloquent than I might describe the PPR dynamic more accurately or in better detail, GS, but it is far from being deadly.

He's not looking for answers, he's looking for a fight.

We need not fight, because fighting is no use... Why not just give him a cold smile?

It doesn't look to me that a smile is what he's looking for.

There is no such thing as politely disagreeing with another persons beliefs on a topic. Do you think all of today's knowledge was created by everyone agreeing? Frack no. I think they hanged the person who proposed the world wasn't flat.

The PPR forum is where we can be that way and not get in trouble for it.

He's not looking for answers, he's looking for a fight.


Do you honestly believe that? You sound like you sincerely believe I'm looking for trouble. Can I tell you the truth? A fight is the last thing I want. And I never thought my outrage would be interpreted as instigation. I swear to God, I'm not looking for a fight, although considering some of the responses I've gotten in these last two days, I have every right to expect one. I'm serious as a heart attack dude, I'm not looking for another fight! In fact, I clicked on this just to see how ugly and irrational the remarks would be. I didn't even think I would respond at this point, but if you think I'm in for a fight, that's nothing I want.

I hoped it would be a forum for exchanging ideas, but it is more a forum for people who want to listen to themselves talk.

Well... it mostly lives up to that. There's some really bad eggs though.

We all of us have ideas and problems. Hearing ourselves talk and getting responses is why a good many of are here.
If the others at this site are psychologically similar to me we do not meet many people who are willing to discuss the things we bring up. That's why I stick around although it can be rather frustrating at times.
