Author Topic: The Controversial Controversy of Controversy [it's really a simple question]  (Read 1403 times)

Alright so I've been wondering about something for a few months, trying to decide if it was worth posting, and whether or not it's a stupid idea to ask this question.

Does anyone ever feel a compulsive need to argue? I'm directing this towards literally everything. Every now and then, I always find myself looking for disorder just to join in and be a part of it (not creating more disorder, just joining in). When I can't find disorder, I feel like I have pent up energy. To put this in example, I'm finding the forums abnormally calm right now. No one is actively arguing about anything, and I honestly am not used to it. I enjoy trying to form a case and arguing through it against opposition to the point of resolution and/or a draw or standstill.

tl;dr - Does anyone notice a lull in argument threads and feel misplaced?

You sound like you need a break from the forums

And yes, it is very quiet.


I can enjoy an argument, or a debate, but I don't go looking for them, or trying to cause them.

I just moved out of my uni flat to another because (among other reasons) one of my flatmates was constantly looking to argue over every little thing. (It wasn't even him arguing with what I or others were doing, just whenever we said anything about any topic, he had to pick some issue with it. It just got exhausting that you couldn't have a normal conversation).

This is a stupid thread, and you should feel bad.

I would rather discuss something that interests me on the forums rather than argue. Arguments around here usually turn into ignorant spewing of bs and I bail after a few replies.

Yeah this.
Usually if there is a fight I care about I post sources supporting the correct side of the argument. Sometimes they ignore that and then I just kinda leave that topic because it pretty much proves they're only doing it for attention.
