Although at least no-one's got banned as a result of asking.

And I don't agree with any of that, but I still think we can get along, united by the love of old circuit boardsas I see things now the world is inverted and creating a woke society is part of it, people should stop being offended and stop pandering to the fakestream media nonsense

Sounds like the Neogeo forumAh, yeah, the forum was dead, but after 20 years or resisting, everyone had moved to Facebook to be cliquey.
I have a theory with such places that as times goes on and cars get fewer and fewer, you lose people, but those left are mostly self-proclaimed super-experts, so there's no point joining in as you're either shot-down for suggesting, or patronised for asking a question.
I expect there's similar scenarios for gaming, but I don't think we're close to that here.
I hear you and understandWell, I wasn't going to comment, but what the heck, I'll let me hair down
I think simplistically, I question if this world is for me. I question human intelligence when we continue to go into war after war, there is just so much sadness in the world, we hear people in positions of power say 'we're all in this together' whilst making one rule for you and one rule for them - I just find it so disappointing.
I'm currently signed off via a doctors note for 3 weeks due to stress at work, I've recently taken the tests and been diagnosed as being Autistic (as an adult in his 30s), this is a shock but equally explains a lot, I have constant struggles with all sorts of aspects of life and it seems whatever I want to do/try to do in the privacy of my own home, just trying to protect my own wellbeing, there is some f**ker at the council blocking it, reminding me that I am not important, and my rights and needs are of no relevance to them. All this whilst banging on about policy and inclusion and how they help the community, when from where I'm standing all I've ever seen them do is put down and crush us.
I think the human mind is fragile, I think if you have a wider awareness of the ugly aspects of life or the world in general, you carry some of that burden. Stress and mental wellbeing are not to be underestimated in their seriousness, some people will say 'well just man up' or 'just ignore it', but sometimes it just isn't that simple. I for example want a kinder, safer, better world to live in, I think we owe it to ourselves, future generations, and the generations before us that suffered in their time to hopefully fight for a better time for us.
I quite frankly find it delusional when I'm accused of being the 'one with the problem', or 'the one in the wrong' for wanting better, for all of us! No doubt there are a lot of good and kind people in the world, no doubt their needs to be more, but my worry is, how long before the ones that do exist are crushed and burnt out beyond repair by this dysfunctional society we have built.
(nothing aimed at anyone here by the way), take care all
I agree. We are designed to know only a handful of people and our misbehaviours by getting too drunk etc would be forgotten by our friends not recorded for posterity; we could then reset every day and lead a happy quiet life.It's going to keep on happening like this because people aren't built to deal with this sort of thing.
All them keyboard warriors eh?lolWhat surprises me is some people don't seemed to hold-off whatsoever when they're on Facebook. Instant sweary insults, violent threats, racism, suggesting criminal damage, blurt it all out with your name, employer, personal details on full view.
I'd expected the opposite to forums where they can hide behind a fake name to be a dick.
I guess some people are just stupid and you encounter a lot more people online (as said above).
