    1 You dont have to be civil you can tell it like it is.
    2 You cant get punched for telling someone that they are being a dick.
    3 You can rub one out while giving advice on the gaza strip problem.
    4 you have a record of what was posted stopping someone changing their arguements to suit how their point was proved wrong .
    Any more?

    7. You can post on the 'teen forums' as a hot teen boy with a broken web cam and get hot teen girls to do naked booty dances while their parents are asleep.

    If in the middle of a real life argument (where you are strenuously adamant that you know what you're talking about - you then suddenly whip out an encyclopedia and start rifling though it and repeating what you read as if it had just come to you - people tend to break their bollox laughing.

    Online though - nobody can see the frantic Wiki scrawling between seemingly knowledgeable posts - mores the pity.

    On the other side if you are proven wrong you can just close the thread and never look back. Unless its the "origin of the specious nonsense" thread apparently

    Yes also If you realise half way through an arguement that there is no point you can just bow out and leave the idiot in his imagined glow of intelligence.

    In real life your stupid reasoning would be cut down before you finish the sentence, on forums every moron gets to post their full opinions no mater how idiotic they are.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭Babybuff


    I can burp and talk at the same time and still appear ladylike


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,915 ✭✭✭MungBean


    You can spend ages trying to figure out a comeback without looking like a retard.

    You can do it in bed and fart to your hearts content

    Yea I did notice some otherwise erudite posters go a bit silent when wikipedia went off for the day in protest.:D I'm your old fashioned know it all wanker so didn't pause for breath.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    You can't spend five minutes thinking of a response IRL.

    Of course I don't do that, I don't go around looking for arguments with every person who has a different opinion to me on boards :pac:

    You build up an image of a poster of what you might think they look like from there opinions,also it opens up barriers and crosses all borders, also there are a lot of people here with opinions who you would never meet in your own social or other circles.;-)

    You can also lose some of your manners when you talk to people for the first time. Good morning after hours.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭Babybuff
