Just read your post again, Shani... and I agree completely.

Here's another one who totally agrees with this post.
I admit, sometimes I don't always let every part of who I am show on the TFP. For example I'm not as goofy on TFP as I am in real life. Initially I thought C:A could be a great outlet for goofy posts, or just a place to have fun. I like to have fun, and I wish I took more opportunity to showcase that side of me on TFP. I wanted to have fun on C:A but it wasn't long before I was turning into a grouch because I was annoyed at people who were making ridiculous posts, or giving infractions on every post I made just because they felt like doing it. Stupid stuff.
Theres a difference between having a little fun and being really immature. I think that C:A could thrive with plenty of the former, seasoned with a little bit of the latter. Unfortunately it's being overrun by immaturity and idiocy. Which, I guess, is what you get without any kind of order.
It's really frustrating that much of that some part of that idiocy is coming from current TFP members who are showcasing some completely different, and somewhat discouraging personas on CA than they exhibit here. It's odd.
I'm still sticking around C:A to see if it gets better. I know that many TFPers are bailing out of there because they have found that there is nothing there worth viewing or discussing anymore. And the idiocy is oppressive. I'm hoping for some change.
