Making stupid posts? I do that all the time. Making "ridiculous comments"? I do that all the time too. Its the nature of the internet, and that is *never* changing.
I do not agree with that. Sadly enough, it is true that many parts of the internet are like that, and it's a poor testimony of mankind's intellect to make a fascinating invention like the world wide web a ridiculous and silly place. Even worse, you take it for granted that the web's nature is simply like that, but I dare to question that because it depends on where you're going, and it depends on what you want. To me, it's a great source of information in the first place. And as far as communication goes, there are luckily enough decent forums to go to, like this one. Pet Talk has never been a place for silly jokes and stupid comments, which is why I'm still here.

There are countless forums where ridiculous comments may be appropriate, but I feel no need to go there. I'm surrounded by so much stupidity and bickering in real life, I really don't need that online.
