old people and the internet
K, so I play Bridge (the old fashioned card game that in my mind is only played by bored, rich ladies) on pogo games.
A typical, popular game site where a lot of people spend time and money. (I don't spend money.) And I swear, the insults that come from the 70 year old + players rival any 12 year old Halo player's, women or men. They're not full of swear words generally, but oh are they biting. They are the most impatient, obnoxious people I still interact with over a network today. Its like, if you're old, the internet is still a place where you aren't really part of society, ergo all the societal rules and nicities still don't apply like they would in real life or something. Funny thing is, 6, 7 years ago, it wouldn't have phased me. Now, when I guess I expect better of most people, even online. Those bridge players still shock me. |

Re: old people and the internet
It's not that they're old, it's that they're the people who would have trolled the internet had it existed in their day. The internet overwhelmingly attracts people with an INTJ bent, regardless of age.

Re: old people and the internet
KK, next time I play and something good comes up, I'll post.
Nothing immediately comes to mind as good because they usually revolve around a conversation that's too specific to remember. Although, I never, and I mean never have a game where someone doesn't, after waiting 5second for a bid, then goes "zzzzzzzzz", or "whats taking so long", "you can play while we're young" or prompting to boot someone for being inactive. WoW random heroic groups are friendlier and more patient than these people I swear. |
