When I was your age what you call "discourse" used to be called "flame wars" and it was a more honest era

these people have no netiquette

Ah, forums

Flameboard-trained shitposters UNITE!

Sometimes I miss Usenet. But that part I don’t miss.

Yes, we didn't need to learn the ins and outs of a hundred people with a blood feud then

These days it's all about water guerilla and the plant crusade though

I remember having a vicious flamewar with one person in one thread while simultaneously having a great, heartfelt conversation with them in another lmao

i got my first ever ban for flamming (calling the mods on their bullshit) back on the forumactif days 😅

~~95% of teens are embroiled in discourse. put this in your sig if you're one of the 5% still flaming!!!~~

Son, we called them "beefs"
