Bryant

The internet is pretty effin' cool, and there's not a lot about it that bothers me...but one of its shortcomings has been fleshed out recently, causing Mr. Sisson to close the comments section on my blog.

The problem lies within the speed at which people can respond or communicate thoughts/ideas and not wielding the maturity or foresight to handle said speed. If something pisses me off I can have an instant message, e-mail, blog or website constructed in a near instant. This is a blessing because people can communicate across the world in real-time through different forms of electronic media, but it's also a curse because actions aren't always thought out to the fullest extent and more often than not, intelligent discussion is left by the wayside and vulgar insults ensue.

Clearly, this has been a problem on CR since its inception. I blew up at the college girls when they showed up on the scene and slammed Dave regarding the deliciousness of Cedric and Omar. I have now realized such quickly formulated expressions of disagreement and anger weren't best for the internet, or at least not in the unbridled way I was going about it. A similar situation has arisen within the last week, as well. Someone got angry, posted an uncouth list of insults and expected the same thing back. Well Bryant has grown up (only a little bit, I promise) and realized that when a discussion starts in the shitter, it's probably not going to get any better.

That's all I've got.

By the way, school is out.
