Generally speaking, I think it's bad to pick up a fight with someone, even if you have loooooooots of issues with said person, I generally consider it's better to just ignore them all or just ignore the person altogether, or at least try talking it out or... Pretty much anything aside from picking up a fight, it's just not worth it.

That said... Things get a bit different when you're in the internet, as people simply don't have RL contact from you, can't really harm your physical integrity, or give trouble to people that are close to you (technically they can, but more often than not people you dislike on the internet won't know who are your online friends)... So... Picking up a fight on the internet suddenly goes from a huge hassle to a slight bother.

Moreover, both parties can just quit if they are tired of that fight, so it's not like it's a serious issue for anyone... Rather, it's actually fun. I love picking up fights on the internet tbh.

Sometimes I just see some people that are clearly being hypocritical on all the drama threads we've had, and I just loooove to start breaking their arguments apart and seeing them getting all angry at me while I laugh at it because... Well, I don't care about the whole drama, they do! xD

Or how there was one user in particular that said some really crazy stuff, and I often went to their threads just to pick up a fight with them... Like, I didn't even try to hide it, I just went to that thread hoping to find something I could pick up a fight against, and I always found something~


On the other hand, sometimes I get bothered when I see other people obviously picking up fights with other users... It's a bit hypocritical on my end, but I don't think I'm wrong in feeling bothered with it... As in, if User A always picks up fights with User B in every single opportunity they have, and I agree with User's B PoV, it's only natural for me to get bothered I guess... Not that it really matters, but it annoys me anyway.

I generally keep my bias in check and just watch those from the sidelines though, it's too much of a hassle to deal with other people's fights... >.>


Hmmmmmm... Overall though, having internet fights is fun, for as long as you keep a calm mind at least, I think the one user I picked fights with (haven't seen them in a while) also kept a calm mind for the most part, so I never worried about anything... I think the people I picked fights with in drama threads were all going nuts though... >.>

I wonder if this counts as cyber-bullying or something? Well, I think it doesn't, not when I avoid using insulting the other party or anything like that. The fun part of picking up an internet fight is that I only have the arguments of the other party to deal with, so I only reply to those, I don't really have anything else to pick on~

... Well, we shouldn't result to insulting people just because we have something to insult them of though... >.>


Oh well, I just wanted to say that picking up fights can be pretty fun, but some common sense needs to be kept, and keeping a calm mind is important, as well as respecting the other party... Wait, I think I'm just repeating basics for any sort of human interaction... Oh well, it doesn't matter~

In the end, not liking someone's arguments and wanting to pick up a fight against them, doesn't give me any right to disrespect them I guess~

      You know playful back and forths can be fun when you disagree with people's opinions.. Its too bad when someone takes it to a hurtful level.. There's really no need for that..

      @Katosono sometimes a person can try to pick a fight to see if someone still cares.. When you are met with soul crushing silence the answer is obvious.. Who are you again? Ah, no Im not going to bother to fight with you. You no longer exist in my world..lol

      @Katsono I don't pick up fights with people I care for, it's only with randoms that I do it.
