I think Ed was right

I read about the interview with Eddie Vedder some time back where the interviewer asked him if he ever posted anything on this message board. Ed then spoke about the fact that he corrected someone on the lyrics to one of his songs. The person he corrected came back with the reply 'Nope'.
I think Ed then said something to the effect of life being too short. I.e, trying to debate/discuss anything with most people on a message board is like pissing in the wind.
Now it supposedly took Ed just one or two posts to figure this out.
I think that after 2 years of my posting on here, and over 10,000 posts later, I've realised he was right.

The last post on the 'Slow death in Gaza' thread sums it up perfectly. Some people choose to be blind, deaf, and dumb.

Not that this applies to everyone of course. There's some really intreresting, and smart characters on the M.T, and I've loved reading their posts these past two years.
It's just fucking frustrating when everyday you encounter one of the 'nope' brigade...one of the soundbite brigade. People with nothing to bring to the table. It kind of throws a dampner on things, and makes you think that we really are just pissing in the wind.

Whaddya reckon?

i agree which for the most part is why i dont get involved on the moving train forum, sea biscuit pisses in the wind less

True.

Ha! I was reading back through this thread and saw my reply from earlier....and jeez at the typos, it was a complete mess. I'm glad you could decipher through it to get some sort of meaning out of it enough to say 'true'

So anyways, I fixed it up a bit to be more clear.
