I just got off the Youtube comments on one of Direwolf20's LPs (he uses BC, IC2, etc.)
Another Anti-Technic holy war. I just got screamed down by two people for saying the truth.
Watching the idiots rant about Technic's babykillingpiratecopyrightbreakermodstealingthiefcattlerustlerillegalrepackagingnotlegal badness makes my physically ill.
But I can't resist trying to correct them. It's always been a tic of mine that I can't bear to see "wrongness" in any form. Even on the internet.
If somebody is mistaken, I get antsy until I tell them they are wrong.
Seeing such a large display of mass delusion and hostility makes me stress out and makes me feel like it is my honourbound duty to fight it. My stomach goes all twisty, my blink rate goes way down, I sweat... This is standard fight-or-flight, right?
I just... get those instinctual combat reactions to idiots and mistakes. I know this makes me insufferable in direct conversation, but usually from my computer I can pause and consider diplomatic ways to correct or ignore mistakes. But on issues like this I feel a compulsion to pick the fights, even though they stress me to no end.
Coupled with my apparently rather unique perspective on colaboration/inaction in the face of evil as being unforgivable, and my tendency to blow things out of proportion... I feel I have to bash heads until each and every idiot commenter sees the light and ceases their attack or else I'm guilty of destroying Minecraft modding worse than it already has been.
Help? Somehow?
