The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Overheard at a concert (Bowie was touring with NIN) ...

Why is he covering that Nirvana song?

le sigh......

When I was doing Rocky Horror, I had to explain to some younglings that Marilyn Manson's version of "Sweet Dreams" was the cover...

I will refer you to an earlier post of mine in this thread.

The smaller the stakes the more entrenched they get in defending their position and are there any stakes smaller than the minutiae of role-playing games?

I've noticed two kinds of people who make threads long and heated:

People who cannot not-reply if addressed, no matter how emotionally wound-up they get.

People who will not shut up.

I've noticed that in my line of work, and in these forums, the bad actors are the ones who have trouble saying "I don't know" and/or "I was wrong."

I don't disagree--I think there's a lot of overlap between what I've noticed and what you've noticed.

I've long felt the moment I learned that saying "I was wrong" or "I f'ed up" was a sign of strength was the moment I actually grew up. It was a lot later than it should have been, although obviously sooner than it comes for some.
