Funny enough, this is MILD compared to even a few years ago.
And how do you know, Rich? Well, random story: After seeing a cake clip featuring Ariande Diaz, I typed "Ariande" into the Search to see if that clip had surfaced earlier. The only thread that hit was this one... which had nothing to do with Ariande but EVERYTHING to do with folks just ripping each other to shreds on here. I had to backtrack history to find it again, but it's well worth a (gob-smacked) read:
JHub said: And Rich old sport, for two guys who share an exquisite like of Archer, big fluffy pies and high heels, we don't see eye to eye on an obvious great thread. Thanks for walking me down memory lane. Those exchanges between, Noise, Duffman and Jedi Knight are classic. And then Libby just does a beautiful mic drop. Perfect.
We definitely need more threads like that on here.
Oh, don't get me wrong. Epic flame war threads are FANTASTIC. Especially well after the fact. I just thought it was amusing that people think the UMD is snippy now, when it's positively genteel compared to a mere two years ago.
Libby was easily the best mod on here. Miss that guy. Along with the guys who used to make accounts just to troll.
What the shit? I just Googled "Fucking esophageal cancer" to see if it was an ARCHER quote and didn't get any hits, so, damn. Hope the prognosis is encouraging.
Yeah, Jhub, get well. It's gonna be a mind job as much as anything else, so don't forget to ask those around you for a little help in dealing with shit. This is coming from a guy who got over melanoma**, btw, so stay strong.
Yeah, that's an actual screenshot. It wasn't their best ep, think it was Se5 Ep 8 "On the carpet" from the vice season? There's some brief talk about popsicle fucking as Cherlene's first album cover shoot veers toward hard-core food pornography.

Well, there's your WAM pic! Is this going to be moved back to the Messy Forum?

Turns out the forums are made up of real people, and we all have bad days and different life situations. It's not a UMD thing, a porn thing, or an internet thing. It's just a human thing. It's best to take a step back, rise above, and try not to enter our own squirt into the pissing war. We can have perfectly interesting (and even heated) discussions, yet not be rude about it. Some doesn't understand that it's not necessary on UMD to yell to get listened to.
