In Search of a Community in an Atomised World?

[mongers]

Some of us found a community here, others still think of it as an arena to duel in. 

That's my controversial thesis about Languish and it's decline, anyone care to shoot it down in flames, as is 'our' want.

What do you guys value more, a sense of shared experience vs a debating school points victory?

Thread in part a response to the bust-up in the Bangladesh flooding one.

I believe you mean wont.

How many points for correcting grammar?

Garbon, have you been contemplating the time cube?

[Ed Anger]

I get that look sometimes when pinching out a loaf.

[Admiral Yi]

It's a good thesis.

[DGuller]

It's a false choice.  Somebody who knows how to win debate points will always find a community.

I stay so that Berkut and Grumbler won't be able to celebrate my departure.

I certainly enjoy community more than debate, but I myself only really exist on Languish's periphery. The combination of an aversion to debate and a lack of community means I mostly don't stray out of threads whose subject is avowedly "safe", like threads on video games or anime.

Community. I've never found debate to be very rewarding, I only debate when I have to. Discussion OTOH is nice.

[Jacob]

I definitely value the community over the debate. The debate is mostly tedious, imo, but it's a significant part of what keeps the place going and thus maintains the community.

Fair enough. I'll not post here again.

Lettow, I wouldn't take anything ET posts half-seriously.
