... since I see the exact same people come back here year after year, complaining about the same issues, again and again, I'm guessing my definition of "boring" isn't just limited to myself.
It isn't.
The same old people whining about the same old things ... if that's all that they know how to do, then it's no wonder that no one is interested in them. Who want's to get to know a whiner and a complainer, whose only other interests involve on-line activities? No one that I know.
WrongPlanet has been very helpful to me in my personal growth. All I've had to do is take note of the complainers, the losers, the slackers, and the whiners, and try to not be anything like them in the real world.
I've taken up hobbies and interests that other people find interesting, and my social circle has grown. I never would have considered this as a viable method of gaining friends until I noticed the now-obvious correlation between people who complain about having no friends, and their lack of interest in activities that could attract people to them. So, my own personal experiences are why I agree with the statement that "
There's a direct negative correlation between people who do all their "socializing" from behind a computer screen, and people who are worth getting to know."
There is nothing wrong with expressing the truth, even if the truth is bothersome to others.
XFilesGeek is a good moderator.
The_Face_of_Boo is a good person, too.
Neither of them has done anything worthy of being punished for.
