So I've been getting into lots of arguments on lots of torrent sites recently. The arguments are mostly over site rules and above all banning and seeding protocols. I'm all pissy that torrent sites get precious about leecher ratios when they don't get precious about intellectual property, etc. It is nothing very special, but the weird part is that the responders disagree, violently, and then either threaten to ban me or just ban me. Even when I'm using my special nice-n-easy authorial voice.
:(
More than ever, I appreciate the universal Caltropsian ability to follow a fucking argument. You clowns may lose the odd point or two in the more esoteric reaches of a discussion, but at least you aren't stupid, gloating, and stupid, for the most part. More importantly, WTF? What is the fuckin deal with everyone getting all insane about leecher/seeder ratios and leechers hit-n-running and what have you? This is something I just don't get: while I'm sure it's annoying, and I've been there, yo, it's only bandwidth. The moon doesn't plummet from the sky, nobody siphons the gas out of your car, you aren't losing any money or bitches, so why is it that when Oink instituted user-voted bans there were people who GLEEFULLY rifled through user files to find people to ban? It's crazy, it's like there's a little Barborito in those sick motherfuckers charging them to be self-righteous assholes.
Is this another one of those things where the answer is "most people are stupid and mean, now shut up and cope"?
Fuck. |
