I tried to hit the button, but it said somebody has already reached the maximum number of humps allowed for this thread. Maybe they should just remove the button and let the problem sort itself out.

It's difficult to not get roped up in a heated conversation when you feel like you are being attacked, finding new ways to one up my 'opponent'. I don’t have the energy or focus to continue engaging in a drawn-out, keyboard warrior fight and would give up after a couple of posts, anyway. Really can’t be bothered in situations like these. An occasional short post is me working within my limitations, which in this context is actually a positive. bentbryan, silverseeker, Larryw7 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Every single forum in the history of forums has its aggressive, passive-aggressive, and passive members; And their enablers. The problem is if/when someone locks onto a target rather than examining the content of contributions. If a person exhibits a pattern of low-quality posts, you're likely to find that they make themself a target. I admit that this is rare, but I have seen it happen multiple times. You will normally attract the attention that your post is looking for. Of course, the Water Cooler does not adhere to these rules. That's where all of the hooligans who have already exposited their comic knowledge hang out for peeing matches.

Popular Post Old Fashion PB and J Posted March 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2022 As someone who has been here for over a decade, I can say this. Some of you are soft as baby poop... CG used to be the wild west where it got heated, ugly, and downright disrespectful. I have seen the coolest of the cool become totally unhinged and just go on an absolute tear to the point where mods came and scrubbed 20 plus pages. Fridays were absolutely horrendous, and the shills were something else. The "new breed" that came in after the boards changed are really something else, and I question there intentions in the community here. If you are here to learn, discuss, enjoy this hobby, this place is not toxic. If you are looking for a safe space to call out the "evil flippers" and cry that "speculators are ruining the hobby", you will be eaten alive and your bones spit into a pile with the other jelly spined weenies.

I've done this without much reproach, so I think it's sufficient to say that this does not factor into perceived "toxicity".

Poekaymon Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 On 3/30/2022 at 4:02 PM, D2 said: But I do believe that the CGC Forum, for all its wonder, wealth of knowledge, and niche (yes, comic books are definitely niche) interests, has become a place where passive aggressive, angry, and sometimes flat out aggressive attitude, dominates the subject lines. Relative to other forums, except for perhaps the Victor Borge Fan Club, this forum has an above average number of grumpy old men. Then you have the trolls, internet tough guys, and people that Kav mentioned who have miserable lives and come here to start stuff in a misguided attempt to assuage their own depression. But there are enough people here who are both knowledgeable and civil to make it worthwhile, so just ignore those others, either by using the ignore function or simply not responding to them. It gets pretty easy the more you do it--I actually know what posts to skip most of times just by glancing at the poster's avatar as I scroll down. silverseeker, Brock and The Lions Den 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
