Is it normal this site has started to make me more angry than usual?

When I first started out on IIN, I thought it was the best site I'd ever found- it made me realize that I wasn't the only one with issues that I had.

But lately, whenever I go on here, I just get irritated at all the sexism, racism, etc. that I see. There's so much anger and controversy (not to mention ignorance), and there are a number of people in particular (not naming names) who have repeatedly been overly egotistical and frankly condescending. I've found that I'm happier when I don't come to IIN, but I simply can't stop. Call it morbid curiosity. Maybe it's the red sheep.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • IIN I'm getting annoyed by all the IIN posts regarding the decline in quality of the IIN community? I might make a post about it...

  • Is there like, just one butthurt user posting all of these "Oh waaaahhhh the people here make me saaaaaddd" posts, or did a few users get into some really nasty debates and they're all now throwing themselves butthurt parties?

    Seriously, you people take the internet too seriously and you make yourselves waaayyy to easy to fuck with. All of you. Yeah, you. Now stop it. Before you give yourselves hypertension.

  • "(not to mention ignorance), and there are a number of people in particular (not naming names) who have repeatedly been overly egotistical and frankly condescending"

    1. That describes everyone here. I've seen every user on this site be overly condescending to another.

    2. Don't act like you actually know what "ignorance" is.

    3. If there were no conflict, many profound or insightful things would not be said. It would just be a bunch of boring spastics all agreeing with each other without challenging the way we think. This actually applies in the real world also.

  • I agree and disagree.

    I personally find this site stressful as well; but not for the reasons you describe. It's all the pervs and sickos that bother me. But like you, I can't stop. I would agree that it's a morbid curiosity.

  • Associate with the people on here who are not condescending and mean, and ignore the rest. Don't let yourself get stressed out over internet people that you have never meet before!

  • Don't worry about it too much. It is disappointing and frustrating, you are right. Those people who are like that, are only make themselves look bad. Most other users probably feel the same as you about their stupid comments but don't say anything about it, people don't like to rock the boat.

  • -IF THE NAME YOU ARE NOT CALLING OUT FOR SEXISM IS ME, READ. IF NOT, DON'T READ-

    I guess you are calling me the sexist one, regardless of me being for 100%, unconditional, cold, equality.

    If this isn't me being indirectly mentioned, I apologize for this comment.
    If this is indirectly about me, you're one of the reasons for me starting to dislike this site due to over emotional people.

    I have mainly make my posts that you would deem "sexist" about holding women to the same standards as men, and the same in reverse. Giving them equal rights. Saying that if women are equal to men, then there is no double standards, you get the full package, and men get the benefits you have, you don't just get male benefits.

    If this is indirectly about me, tell me how my posts are sexist and not at all true, because you can complain all you want, but if I have a counter to why you believe it's sexism, and you don't accept it even though it is a good counter, then that shows that you're the emotion>logic type.

    An example of this would be how many thumbs down I get for this, yet barely any, if any at all, will back up why, there reasons simply being "I don't like what he said".

  • If you feel this way then leave.

      • Hmm, I respect that.
        I wonder if you'll get this message though?
        Anyway, nice meeting you nickki, I hope to hear from you again (unlikely, but you never know)
        Oh and to mirror your point. Keep up the good work ;) I wonder if that will make you do things for good instead of evil? Lol.

  • Yes I've seen it, but the people here are just a piece of the public. Offensive people exist outside of IIN so I don't have anything against this website. If you're so "understanding" then stick around to help the people that ask for it.

  • I haven't been getting angry or pissed at it, but I am disappointed to see such things going on on a website like this.
