Angelic Groove: Groove with me through the dark nights...

I really do not know why I still bother surfing the forum...

The fact is, spam is increasing per day and it even spread to the cosplay chat section. It is not my business but what I saw in the cosplay chat section was quite a turn off for me.

I never like arguments, and to come across threads that become like a battle ground is really irritating. I am not a vocal person, and I don't like the idea of flaming people or criticising people in a public forum. But I saw a couple of forum members actually voicing out and that in turned snowballed to a thread battle between two irritated parties. THE WEIRD THING IS, they are all sitting somewhere else, either in the comforts of their home or school and not facing one another.

What's the problem? Internet's the problem. Too much miscommunication can just happen online. When you are talking offline, you tend to mind what you said but in the world of Internet, you are safe and sound in your own world. You do not need to care if the person knows you or if you will feel the need to back down from an arguement. Instead, in the Internet, there is a 'safety' veil in front of you, and you can unlease your inner anger out easily and quickly.

You can say it is good in a way, that people are finally speaking up for themselves. But hey, it isn't a good way to speak up in the Internet. Misunderstanding, unreasonable behaviour will simply occur because people are able to hid behind their own online identities.

Of course, there are members who are already well known both online and offline since they could be cosplayers or photographers. But is it me or is it that people are not afraid of what others might think by just shooting their mouths off in the forum?

Maybe I am too conservative in my thinking, or just that I am not a vocal person. I just think it is too much for me to see such threads. If people can keep their cool, swallow some of their ego and back off or laugh it off, I believe the world would be a happier place.

The fact is, education is good in a way, but an educated person will tend to be too smart for their own good. I'm starting to wonder if you need to lose your conscience and heart to replace for a clever mind or getting educated.

I speak for myself too. I am going to graduate with a degree and I do feel that I am too smart for my own good. I tend to think too much and I keep having the perceptions that I am of a certain class, just because I am a degree holder. But the thing about me is that I know I am doing it and I am willing to change my mindset. But there are many people who don't realise how fortunate they are to have education, and they became arrogant and selfish to achieve even more in their lives.

Conclusion: This world is badly corrupted.

Anyway, I really have no intentions to accuse anyone in the forum. I just want to say that being vocal isn't always a good thing. Especially online. End of story.
