Wow. Most of you take this whole edge, non-edge thing too seriously. Life is too short to worry about "respecting" people's choices. Who cares? Seriously...as long as it's not effecting you or me directly why worry about it? And most of the stuff I said on here was a JOKE. In fact...I think that straight edge, and non-edge or whatever is a fucking ( Read more... )

One more note: Why would you come to a debate community and bitch when people debate?

Maybe it's not so much that people are taking themselves too seriously, but you've got your head too far up your ass to see that some people here geuinely want to debate the subject.

Unless I'm gravely mistaken, that was debate.

We aren't here to debate the debate. We're here to debate what the communty's info lists as the subject of debate. Here, I'll show it to you:

"This is where you discuss why you are or are not Straight Edge. Everyone is welcome. If you are not familiar with Edge, feel free to join anyway."

So, are these statements pro-edge, or anti-edge?

"Wow. Most of you take this whole edge, non-edge thing too seriously. Life is too short to worry about "respecting" people's choices."

"In fact...I think that straight edge, and non-edge or whatever is a fucking joke."

They're neither. In turn, they aren't constructive for this community. They act as attempts to constrict the discussion that this community was intended to catalyze.

So no, you're not gravely mistaken. It was debate. But it wasn't the debate this community was created to host.
