The subconscious effect of "Critical Thinking"

Lightknight, stop getting so uptight about the GBin. Nobody really likes you there (no offense), you got banned from it... STOP WHINING. The whole banning thing is for FUN. The Garbage Bin is pointless, and that is the point (no pun intended).

Your whining is unnecessarily throwing the whole discussion off topic. It is apparent that all you are worrying is yourself from your complete disregard of the points made, especially those of Neonatrias. Give up now before you make yourself look like more of a fool, please.

So are replies to his whining.

The Garbage Bin is a place where they can let off some steam without fear of being punished, so it dosen't spill into other boards.

It does "spill out" though, that's the thing. Want to tell me it doesn't? How about the secondary discussion going on in this very topic?

The problem about using something like the GB to "vent" is that it directly effects other people. On my website, I have a "rants" forum. In that little section, people are basically obligated to care about what everyone else has to say. Rarely does anyone's rant get bashed, unless it's something like "I hate hard songs on Stepmania", which was actually done before. If someone needs to vent, they should be able to vent about the particular issue directly, to a friend/family member/journal/rant forum/whatever, instead of taking it out on other people via being a jackass, trolling, you name it.

This topic aggrivates me. Here's why:
1. You're singling people out. You're creating a thread about things leaking out, which signifigantly makes them that much more important when they do leak out. Preferably in this particular thread.
2. Like it or not, organization is the key to life. If you're not organized, than you have no idea where anything is, or where anything goes, and it causes mass confusion. I don't mean nail polish remover, hairbrushes, or that t-shirt, I mean important things.
3. The facts are: you can't sterotype people, or judge their intelligence, by which part of the forums board they post in. This is the internet, cyberspace, the web, so like it or not, we know absolutely nothing about those people. Eventhough they may sound like idiots on the internet, that doesn't mean that's what they are, and we have to go off of what they tell us, or what we see.

This is the internet. How hard people think on FFR, or any forums board for that matter, no offense, doesn't really concern me. I could give two shits about how anyone else on here feels or what they think. I choose to come here, because I have found people, who I can discuss things with in a mature manner. I can choose, at any time, to discontinue coming. That's the freedom of a forums board.

Garbage Bin, Critical Thinking, Chit Chat. Even though they leak together here and there, or people misplace things occasionally, the fact is, those are minor minor occurances. If we were to attempt to completely run everything together, it would become on big cluster f*** and we all know it.

I like it the way it is, and as much as it may annoy some, I don't think the format of the forums board is going to change, nor do I think that it should.

Judging by the title, I'm sure you were going for something about how the mind seperates high-quality, thought-invoking topics into seperate forums and makes for lower-quality posts outside of that particular forum. You're talking about this as though it's a problem, but I wouldn't say it is.

Myself, I am very intelligent. When I need or want to, the products created by my brain fascinate me after I've churned them out. But thinking all the time is not what I live for - I live for entertainment, as that's what everything worth doing narrows down to for me. Thinking all the time is not entertaining to me, and combined with the fact that I probably have some deep-down trauma from being called a geek as a child before I learned I don't give a damn what anyone I don't give a damn about thinks, in a social setting, I do not think - I simply do. So the personality people see is simply my wits in cruise control, and people don't seem to mind (though they do get very surprised when they first learn I get mid-90 averages).

The Internet is more the same than it is different. You see the person that I have shaped myself into in reality, while at the same time, I get a minute where as I type, it may occur to me that there is a better way of saying what I am trying to. This alone seems to make quite a difference, as people I know in reality tell me, "Wow, you're pretty cool on the Internet." This probably means that I rock more when I think, which probably means I should think in real life.

But I veer from my point - I come onto the FFR Forums to have a good time with people that aren't idiots. Thinking excessively kills the fun of being with people for me, and so I don't do it. I post very rarely in CT, commonly in CC, and very much in TGB. As activeness in a forum provokes replies, myself and others like me are helping fuel the CT shortage and the GB boon.

Everything else I wanted to bring up was said adaquately by Neonatrias. Thanks for saving me five minutes, dude.

P.S.: A rant forum would definitely be a good addition to FFR. I rarely vent on the forum, and it'd probably be healthy for me.

The Garbage Bin. I'd didn't even know people posted in it until I read this topic. I assumed the joking in general chitchat was nothing more than that.

From what I've read so far, CT is a place for a philosophical dick-waving contest. GB is a place for a dickgirl waving contest.

Simple as that.

If post-count was disabled in the G-bin, I would have no problem with it.
