Add Shinjobis Quest to the title I said

I'll do it, should it replace the current subtitle?

I haven't done any thread title editing because I'm worried about overstepping :ohdear:

Thank you! I think it should be added to the end like : Shinjobi’s Quest because it’s important to remember the past as well as the future, If that still fits. If not. Maybe we get rid of the word General

You're never gonna be able to get people who used to love something and think it has become significantly worse to agree to disagree with people who think it's still good. That's not how people work, or at least, it's not how the people here work. The former group feels betrayed by the thing and annoyed that their feelings aren't being taken seriously by the latter group and the latter group is annoyed that the former group keeps trying to piss all over their good time and appears to exist in a completely alternate reality from them. It is just not a situation that's going to lead to positive interactions.

The only person I can give meaningful advice to in this situation is Erin and that advice is "run".

My pals are just out of frame, posting too.

One of the most frustrating things about being a mod was seeing people devolve into the stupidest arguments in threads for no reason, or just getting bent out of shape at a level not required when posting about pro wrestling on a forum. I don't know what it is about wrestling, or maybe just AEW, that sends people over the edge here but it is wild. I don't participate in any other forums or discords or whatever about wrestling so I don't know if it's just like this everywhere, but it'd be nice to just have a calm, normal place on the internet for wrestling chat. Not saying everyone has to like everything the company is doing, because that's boring, but the sniping and biting back when someone disagrees or has an opinion that goes against the grain is just nuts.

I try to post with a level head but I even sometimes hesitate to post when I know what I'm posting is an opposing view (like not liking the Toni Storm vignettes that 99% of the forum seems to love) because I just don't want to get stuck in some weird argument.

I think some of it comes from differences of opinions. This place was a little more on the same page when it 99 percent of us hating what WWE was doing and that was it. Now we have all these options. And it's not 100 percent liking the new options so with disparity comes conflict.

For my part I am going to make a conscious effort to not snipe at anyone and if someone snipes at me to just move on. I'll try my best.

Sorry. I said peedback on here because I was a little upset about feeling like negative opinions have started to be considered needling lately. I shouldn't have said peedback. But I worry about the rules being shaped around facilitating that idea. The idea that "lmfao if you like this," could one day be considered the same thing as, "tony really dropped the ball." peedbakc on that poo poo honestly. I'll worry about it if it comes to it. I edited out just the word peedback. thanks.

This place is still the best place to talk about wrestling and pretty much its only problem is a collective assumption other people have opinions to make us mad instead of just being their own personal opinion.

This is the face of a winner. This is what winning looks like.
It always feels like everytime I get back into a routine watching wrestling and posting about it there's some kind of exhausting argument about it that lasts way too long and drains whatever joy I find in it.

I can understand this, because it took me many years of watching wrestling and Posting to get over this same feeling. In the end one has to realize that the loudest voice when engaging with a piece of media should be your own internal one.

Wrestling is inherently designed to stoke extreme emotions in the people watching it, and the people who post about it will naturally Care A Lot About It as a result. Flare-ups are all part of the game and have been since the earliest days of the artform, and it can be frustrating if you let it be, but the secret is to exercise that scroll wheel liberally and to also remember that it Is Just Pro Wrestling. The question is, are you enjoying watching the product, and if the answer is yes, keep watching and enjoying it, post that you're enjoying it, and learn to roll your eyes at arguments and things that are ultimately inconsequential while thoughtfully engaging in the things you like to engage in. One doesn't have to internalize every post in order to enjoy the product on TV.

Wrestling is pretty cool and good. Don't let others affect you so deeply that you forget that.

Please, this is all I have
never let anyone on the internet know when you're getting mad about something, that's where most of the arguments start. The people who are posting ironic stuff most of the time will keep poking people until they go off, usually on someone else who always posts seriously. just never show goons weakness, goons are feral animals. don't make eye contact
