I used to be an insane forum junky back in the day and I think I could count on one hand the forums that weren't already like that when I joined... And then those all eventually went that route, if they lasted long enough. I started to seriously entertain the notion that the only reason these things existed was for a handful of relatively lacking, powerless people to try to create the perfect family/circle of friends they always felt like the world owed them. And I don't think a damned one of them ever learned why they can't seem to have what they want and demand of others. And then, there's the rest of us, for whom it's so glaringly obvious that we struggle to articulate it, not unlike knowing exactly why the apple falls from the tree despite not being able to explain a damn thing about Newtonian physics.
