Please explain to me Ponder how this is not just an internet forum.

I meant no disrespect to anyone who participates on this site. Or any disrespect to Bukowski. I think perhaps maybe a few of you take yourselves a bit too seriously. This is just an internet forum. I don't think that this site was created so that people could call others halfwits. I think the...
