When did pointing out privilege become a personal attack?

13. People love drama, is why. I remember commenting on a forum once that if we didn't put our posts in

a way that disputed what the person above wrote, if we all agreed, the thread simply died.

Although I'm in favor of having a good time with good things, some are not willing to allow that in their presence. They hide their own pain and rage behind words of ideology, but aren't really communicating what they think they are.

In a way, being oppositional is a game to keep people talking. It's habitual and means little. Like getting angry, it's a choice. When you realize you have a choice, the game is over.

Some people get carried away with the habit. I put those who just want to fight, not exchange ideas or information, on Ignore. They lost the purpose of the interaction to their ego and they are not speaking at that level.

The viciousness is unnecessary, but most likely as someone here wrote, 'The rude person who just slammed you online isn't responding to you, but to the person who slammed or hurt them earlier.' I pondered on that and it helped me a lot.

We are carrying baggage with us wherever we go and have triggers that there is no way for others to know. We don't have telepathy to communicate to each other. Which may or may not be a good thing.

If we did have it, we might get enraged and kill someone or go catatonic from the shock. Or we might finally realize how much alike we are and never hate each other again.

JMHO.
