The internet is more than just a place to waste time. But then, life is just a place to waste time if you look at it that way.
And your right, I don't normally take advice from 15 year olds, but you are one very cool exception. Keep it up.
I can't be bothered arguing with the people that run the forums, and with that brat joshy. I don't have time for it. So I am going to distract my attention from the forums on to the work that needs to be done...
And you are right, my whole life isn't on these boards. But a part of it is, because when I am home this is what I do. When I am not on the boards I am with freinds and out doing stuff, OR I am sleeping or watching TV, but I usually do that while I am online...
And I am NOT taking the forums too seriously. In case you haven't noticed, most of my posting is exactly what you described, a little time filling + my opinion. But the reason I was working so hard to argue my point in several threads was because basically the following happened: Decent request + Joshy, Alcar etc. come along and make out that it isn't a decent request and like the world will end if they do it = an argument.
They haven't made "my life miserable" either. I just couldn't think of any other words to describe it.
So take a chill pill, I'll be back in a little while. Might come back once or twice to post in a few threads...
