What I've noticed
Is that this last week OT just seems to have becoame another /talk. We've had whole days where all that has happened is that people are insulting one another.

I'm not saying that this didn't happen before, it just didn't happen on such a large scale.

I can't say that it's the /talkers that have caused this, there are a few who have joined us in a non /talk way. It seems to be some of the regulars who have started this trend.

Lets be honest you're all a bunch of freaks and geeks

Which is why you post on a forum like this instead of talking to real people.

This does not count during office hours.

See that's where you've gone wrong
We're a close knit community here, and we all have lives outside of this place as well.

Or just meeting up with other B3tans.

exactly.
Oh Lord, won't you send me a girl for some sex?
The ones in the real world are highly complex
I'll just yell "surprise" if she cries and objects
So Lord, won't you send me a girl for some sex?

Cock of the bay
typing on the internet,

wasting my li-ii-ife

It's a reaction to the dull as shit HSH threads that populated this place for so long
It's more fun to imaginatively insult someone than to give them internet hugs and cups of tea.

keyword being "imaginatively"
there's a fine line, and often the insults get just as dull as tea and hugs

But
As I see it a lot of the insulting isn't all that imaginative, and I don't insult people for no reason, I just see no point in it.
