Great spined or go home. And it's a steal at only 15 quid...
Really? That's your example of making the internet worse? Not trolling, threatening, doxxing, swatting or any of a myriad of actively harmeful shit that goes on, but people being TOO HELPFUL? Maybe, just maybe, someone else is also looking for cool dragons at a slightly different price point and is inspired by what they find in the thread.
No, not being too helpful, being pointedly unhelpful, but convincing one's self of the opposite. For most people talking on the internet I think deep down, it comes more from a desire to put one's own self forward rather than to help. I can't tell you how many answers I have searched for on the internet to find four page threads of non-experts opining on the best answer they can come up with off the top of their head, and no answer of merit.I didn't claim this was among the worst problems, just that each such post makes the internet a little worse rather than better, so your reference to threatening ect is fallacious. Though in my personal experience I never encounter those things or the danger of encountering those things, simply by choosing where I go. Whereas I encounter the problem I'm talking about all the time. And I only bother mentioning it because we have a cultivated community here where people consider other people. I'm highlighting the need to respect the time we are implicitly taking up in many other people's days by posting. Attention and time are precious commodities, more so now than ever.
