Rule 12 for retaining sanity on the internet:
Thou shalt not care what a random stranger on the internet says or does.
I can agree with that. But here's the rub: I'm already doing it. Specifically, I don't visit websites and forums unless I care about the content. If I have a succession of negative experiences, I back off because it's not worth my time or energy getting embroiled in debates where hordes of people talk around and over each other, and neither seems to realize that they are trying to force the other to alter their opinions, which is a difficult thing to do in real debates, let alone on web forums.
I come here because I (mostly) do care. But lately I find myself caring less and less. So why should I bother?
Obviously I haven't cut off all connections. I'll still hang around. But I'm wanting to read fewer and fewer threads lately, and if that's the case, what's the point?
