From tinychat I've learned that the quickest and most vocal people to throw "goons" around as a pejorative are the gooniest fuckers on these forums. The forum where we have the most posters who make fun other goons is also the one where the average user doesn't really have a life outside the forum. The kind of goons that spend all day everyday on the forums or talking in irc with goons to then go make posts in gbs about how much better they are.

I think it's mainly a projection thing.

this is pretty true. attractive & cool people don't have a lot of time or energy to get passionate about bad people posting on their forums

Some people legitimately have turned SA into their social life and you can see the posting cliques but they absolutely refuse to admit that to themselves. Normal people don't have the time or inclination to care about forums drama or helldumping people.

Why don't you try to change what you don't like about yourself? This also works for the forums.

Whenever I get tired of all that mainstream spoon-fed comedy, I know I can always turn to SA as an endless source of alternative comedy. Which by definition is "comedy that isn't funny," but still better 'n Reddit.

SA is pretty okay, and it's fine that it's not funny since nothing in this world is or ever has been funny

i don't laugh at much, since i am a disaffected shell of a human being, but there are always things here that cheer me up.

the yellow menace thread, goon.jpg, the russia thread--that is good quality internet. you can't get that anywhere else.

of course there are always the old classics in the goldmine like groverhaus, keyboard goop, the goon anonymous confessional

An old man sat outside the walls of a great city. When travelers approached, they would ask the old man, "What kind of people live in this city?" The old man would answer, "What kind of people live in the place where you came from?" If the travelers answered, "Only bad people live in the place where we came from," the old man would reply, "Continue on; you will find only bad people here."

But if the travelers answered, "Good people live in the place where we came from," then the old man would say, "Enter, for here too, you will find only good people."
