If people do not care about what they say, then why do they post at all in the first place?

puncho said:For fun? To get under some people's skins? A bunch of reasons.
Maybe they post so other people can get a laugh? I found fraggle's posts entertaining.

If you post for fun, then you care about having fun. It matters to you. Everything you post on a forum is being posted because you want something to happen. You have an agenda, and you care about it, or you would not do it at all.
So, sometimes people post because they have something serious to say. Are these posts less deserving of care and consideration because the agenda of the poster is different than yours?

puncho said:Yeah, but the level of caring is about zero. I'm sure if someone posted something for fun they wouldn't care about the results/flames, especially if it's expected. People know that others will have differing opinions but irl, do you care about what everyone says to you? I'm sure people care less about what people on the internet, that they've never met or know well, have to say.
Basically what you're saying is that people care about what they do. Well no shit, it's the level of how much they care that matters.
Now, stop digressing from the topic at hand.

puncho said:I wasn't bashing Gigafool, I was asking him what makes him so different from the other posters (which he hasn't answered yet).
I guess I did go off topic for a bit, but what you were saying was getting more philosophical
