You mean "you".

One would wager that quite a bit of that "general public" visits the comic and enjoys it as well, as well as pops in and out of the forum. Quite rather, in fact, if the only ones that went on here were limited to the strict and rigid limitations you proscribe, that would be a rather boring populace.

He's in his early-mid-twenties? Damn. How does one come to be so world-wearly at such a young age? What, did something sneak up on him in the night and drain him of his wonderlust?

Hu ? I had doubts about my life goals back when I was 13 ... I fail to see why you need to be 30+ to think about your life.

Why? Why are you pushing this?

I think I may have made a mistake in my phrasing- I never intended to connect the prior conversation with the one I am having with Westrim. I'm certainly not trying to push anything. I was quite simply pointing out that the entire populace that visits the site and forum doesn't proscribe to the very limited "we are this" conventions he labelled everyone with. None of us endorse racial slurs, bigotry or the "s-word". I apologize if I came across the wrong way.

NotAwesomeAnymore:
Ah.

But at least I got what you were trying to say... I still don't know why anyone would ever think of a forum's userbase as some kind of "general anything" :-D

I'm waiting for the day when we can write and read via brain interfaces.

No, I mean 'we', due to observation of past discussions, demographics, what we're reading, and a hunch. I would be much surprised if a majority of the forum (if we somehow conducted a poll of everyone that's come here, past and present) shared any of the views noted as being those of the majority of the population. Except the illiteracy one, that's depressingly widespread.

You should check a persons previous posts before making claims about their past behavior.



For some reason my writing tonight seems extremely dry to me. Maybe I'm just tired. It's probably from riding too long on the town bicycle. (I propose a mustache tag for every comment with innuendo, as follows :{   )
