My 2 cents at 24 units of.. whatever it's called here. (i don't care)

Internet points don't add value to my life.

I don't come here for "salty opinions" I come here for polite, insightful, hopefully entertaining conversation. Endless "salty opinions" aren't any of those three things.

You can disagree without being "salty" -- and this website owes you nothing. You have freedom! You can go to some other popular website where downvoting is the norm.

> Internet points don't add value to my life.

Absolutely. I don't want points. But I'm collecting negative points whilst giving honest and authentic contributions. I'm being judged and found wanting. Why?

I don't mind hearing or being deconstructed (or ignored for that matter). But why take one on what I have to say, when I'm being straightforward? I'm acting in good faith.

It feels like I have to be part of the 'hive mind' or f* off like you suggest. But I like this site and what's discussed.
