actually i would say the stakes are quite high here. think about the people who come here....people who are entrapped by this cult of absolutism....their minds highjacked by a thought, a thought that says "we are following the mouth-piece of god"....soooo the stakes are kinda high actually...
try to get past the fact that you dont completely understand internet culture band. just because at some point in your life you found out you were equally smart(or smarter) than some folks that you thought were better than you...doesn't mean now everytime you feel inferior, that same scenerio holds true. maybe try a different approach. like hey how bout conceding to the culture that exists, it might save you a lot of grief. concession isn't always weakness.
maybe next time you can state, "anyone can make a mistake on this sort of forum"....and leave it at that, maybe a few people give you a benefit of the doubt. but once you tack on the next sentence, now you've ensured it's you versus the entire forum? where is the logic in this?
