How dare you get all meditative and reflective?! RARGH! (Kidding)

The truth is, most people get defensive/protective of things they like. The only issue is that on the internet, people magnify problems and grievances ten-fold. The other people respond in the same manner and stupidity just gets ratcheted up to higher and more childish levels. (A cascading effect of pettiness and pointless arguing.)
