Internet communication: the upchuck method

After reading gaming message boards for the past 5 years or so, I've come to the conclusion that people just can't be bothered to communicate.

I'm not talking about Gamespot's System Wars forum specifically, although it's the best place to find prime example of what I'm talking about. Sadly, this is a phenomena witnessed across the webisphere.

It's as if comments and replies are just vomited out with little regard to context and detail. People seem to be content with putting a vague sentence or two with the assumption that others will miraculously comprehend their message. Much of the time, that idea isn't even well-formed. Even rarer is the level of coherent thought. My god! What happened to grammar?

It's not there for academic reasons. It's how we communicate ideas to others.

Here I am, ranting about vague statements while I'm guilty of not providing specific examples to illustrate my point. Honestly, I wouldn't want to waste server space with things you can witness for yourselves.

Just head over to System Wars.

Man, it was actually a struggle to come up with that. It's like my brain just can devolve that far. Don't get me wrong, I'm capable of the occasional mispulling myself but I agree wholeheartedly, Voodoo, too many people, too many soapboxes, not enough edumakashun.
