Facebook is a place where everybody is identified. The tone on FB is generally overwhelmingly positive and self-affirming.
Places like CP where you can hide behind a mostly-untraceable username really tempt people to let their ids play. Too frequently this leads to pissing contests and general negativity -- not just to the Chiefs (because who cares), but to everything in general. Try visiting the DC forum. I bet the average person on this forum has a more positive outlook on everything, however. I participate heavily on the AV Club's comment boards, where you are anonymous, but posts visibly reflect how many people "like" any given post. The tone to all pop culture everything is universally negative, with few exceptions. The comments are frequently negative, but the positive ones are the ones that get the most likes. My guess: even on anonymous boards, people trend towards the positive. But people who trend negative tend to be louder and post more frequently. I'd love for this board to be like Facebook, where people's identities can be revealed with the click of a button to be a living person, with a real personality and people who love him/her. I'm guessing you'd see a sharp drop in rape jokes, degrading remarks, personal attacks, and trolls. But you go to war with the army you have, not the army you want. |

Admit it. Don Rumsfeld is a hero of yours. You'd like to be a Donald Rumsfeld.

This board is tame. Much worse out there.

Although the topic seems to be catching some attention, I suppose the song is failing compared to my previous posted work...
