There are some kinds of drama that are arguably good for the site. Others that are less so. What we saw of late was of that latter category, and on perhaps the worst possible day of the year for it. It is all very sad, and that it is the byproduct of an election is even sadder.

So in all, Drama is good for DDO. It means this place is still interesting, and I'd rather be a part of something interesting then something that is educational but boring as hell day in and day out. You know what is educational and void of drama day after day? Math class.....

I also loved math class. I had a sexy blond teacher and sat at the back with a black dude who trolled the class solid w/ me. One day we all walked in and there was a huge black penis drawn across the board, he the only black dude in the class, and it was hilarious, the teacher hadn't the first clue what to do about it. Another day he told me he was born in Aswan, and I roared out, "In a swan?" - like, you know, in line with all my trolling him over being black - and he got up all like, "That's it!" and stormed out of the class to go watch Titanic and a bunch of white people die lmao......That teacher was so cute and just had no idea what to do with us lol. I grabbed her arse one day too - 10/10.

Wasn't in class :P It was a night out and we'd had a few drinks and I was hugging her leaving. She let me off with a smile lol.

She was probs the coolest teacher I ever had.

Are you still friends with your black friend by the way? XD

Oh look, someone said something about someone else that has caused a sh*tfest on DDO. How terrible, what kind of a site is this? We need to do something to stop all this drama because drama is bad yatta yatta yatta.

Lets all take a nice sip of my homemade 'shutting-the-f*ck-up' iced tea I always make during the holidays and sit down for a second.

As the universal choice by most users of 'person-who-has-probably-caused-the-most-hell-on-DDO-since-he-first-came-here (Im sure Airmax would substantiate this claim), I can assure you that drama is a net benefit for the site.

Think of the last time you saw a football game or a basketball game that erupted into a brawl. That was pretty cool and exciting to watch wasnt it? How about the last time your friends in real life finally argued out about something that has been bugging them for quite a while. You sat back and watched that go down and wished you had popcorn with you, didnt you? What about that hoe or that a**hole who finally got what was coming to him by someone else? That was probably a good day for you.

Drama is the natural side-effect of sh*t getting itself worked out. And while it can be ugly and nasty and in some cases flat out uncalled for, it is something we are naturally drawn to. When you are at school during lunch, and you hear a commotion break out on the other side of the cafeteria that looks like a fight might be going down, you naturally keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of a punch getting thrown, or you get up and go over to ENSURE that you see a punch getting thrown, because we all secretly love drama....

Imagine if DDO didnt have drama, where everyone got along and respectfully disagreed with each other, with no one occasionally crossing a line or doing something they shouldnt have done. How f*cking boring would that get after a while? We all claim to want this place to be a socratic-like setting exchange of knowledge and understanding, but we dont, because if we did, we would all be debating and voting on a regular basis, and we dont

How many people have closed a tab to DDO, only to then reopen a new tab to DDO just in case you missed something that happened in the 4 nanoseconds that happened when you werent on DDO? We are all horrendously addicted to this site, not because we thirst for new knowledge or a new idea, but because any second, any number of people could completely lose their sh*t and start a massive flamewar on here with absolutely zero sh*ts given about personal decency...

In other words, because at any second, that fist-fight that is going down in the other side of the cafeteria is going to happen, and you want to make sure you get some front-row seats to see it.

We all crave drama, whether it be because some of us want to be problem-solvers and resolve it, or because some of us just want to see someone throw a punch. We want drama, and if drama isnt going on somewhere in this site every now and then, people will leave and go find it somewhere else.

Chances are, your life has boring as sh*t for the past few days. Yes, Christmas has come around so you probably got some sweet new toy or game to play with, but what about the week before then. Anything interesting happen? What about November, did anything really dramatic go down for you? What was the most dramatic thing you were involved in this past year? Does it compare to some of the drama that other people find themselves in?

For most of us, it doesnt, because our lives are usually boring as hell. School or work in the morning, social media in the afternoon, then social media at night when we cant sleep because our smartphones have an internet connection. The reason most people came on here in the first place is BECAUSE they were bored and wanted to see something. Hell, Blade-of-Truth came to DDO because he came across one of my Weekly Stupid Episodes on Youtube and thought it was funny as sh**.

We all secretly crave drama, even though we dont want to admit it. If you really dont like drama, you would have gone to edeb8 by now. But you havent, because edeb8 is boring as sh*t even though there is far less drama going on over there than there is going on here. We all LOVE to see drama go down on DDO, because for most of our lives drama only happened to the 'cool' people in high school or college. And chances are, you werent one of the cool people in high school or college. We are a site of socially awkward outcasts who, while not as weird as that one kid who just might shoot up the school one day, are still far from being a part of the 'in crowd'.....

But on DDO, we ARE the cool kids. People who are mega-popular here on DDO would NEVER have been a cool kid in high school or college, and the people who cause the most drama here on DDO probably arent even noticed at school in real life either. Drama happens to those who are the most popular, and on DDO, those who can be popular are those who didnt have a chance in hell at being popular in high school or college. Drama follows Popularity more than your own shadow follows you, and now that you are a popular kid on DDO, you are always guaranteed a first-row seat at watching that fist-fight in the cafeteria go down. If you are reading this very post, chances are you qualify as popular, whether youre a new kid to the group or have been around for years. The people who do 3 debates and then never come back to the site are the kids who in high school were forgettable, youre not that kind of person on here though. On here, youre popular.

My point is, we all claim to hate drama mostly because we probably never get to be a part of it in real life, or at least not to the amount we want to see it. On DDO, the chances of drama happening to you is significantly increased, and without it, this place would be boring as hell. The reason people check on DDO and Facebook 10 times a day is because there is a chance drama could be going down, and you want to get a peek of it, even if when you get your peek, its not the kind of drama you were hoping for. Sure drama can be bad, negative, and tiresome if its all about the same one thing for a while, but without drama, this place would be boring as hell.... And then we'd all be back to being the 'other' kids in high school and college....

So in all, Drama is good for DDO. It means this place is still interesting, and I'd rather be a part of something interesting then something that is educational but boring as hell day in and day out. You know what is educational and void of drama day after day? Math class.....

And lets not pretend we actually like math class......
