@ Miss Vampire Is Dead I think most people on Mibba are respectful, but I have seen people come into the abortion thread, for example, spouting off non-facts and saying we were all going to hell. A lot of people aren't going to take that well.
I've been a regular member of the debate threads for years and, generally speaking, most people there want to debate, so they don't want to scare off new blood. However, they do want to debate with them, especially if they have a viewpoint different than the majority.
That's a possibility, yeah. I never really thought of it like that. It'd just be nice if people could be a bit more respectful towards each other, even if it's debating. I think kindness is the best way to win, there's just too much hate in this world.
@ Miss Vampire Is Dead Discussion threads are very much like debate threads. The point of debating is to win. At least, that's what debate teams and people in debate competitions think.
I think a large part of it when people confuse fighting with debating.
Feel lucky you haven't seen it, then. I don't get upset when people respond to my posts-after all, it's a discussion thread and it's not much of a discussion if nobody responds to each other- but I do feel a bit offended when they respond and they're talking down to me. I mean, if I see an opinion I don't like I just roll my eyes and move on; I don't really feel the need to go out of my way to "prove them wrong". I know I'm not everyone else but I don't understand the concept of fighting. I'm a hippie, I just want everyone to love each other. Maybe the peace pipes should make a comeback.
@ Miss Vampire Is Dead I just don't see a whole lot of people jumping people in the discussion threads, though I do see a lot of people posting their opinion and getting upset when people respond to it.
-A story summary mentions something along the lines of "they will face things in life they never expected to face" or something similar. -There are five consecutive free-verse poems in one page. -A story has a cover page with someone's face/people on it. -A story summary has an author's note at the bottom.
Well excuse me; I thought people were supposed to be nice to each other on mibba instead of treating them like inferior beings. Or is it just me, because I AM an inferior being and therefore not entitled to at least have my opinions/myself respected instead of shit on? and it's not even just politics, it's everyone. Mibbians never used to be cyberbullies.

Now here're a few of my own.

I shall do this when I have time with milk or pickle juice or something. I should do pickle juice. That way I can do the little head wiggle people do when they take a shot of alcohol.
