I'd say a good portion of tumblr in general is quite brutal (although I'm more tempted to call it "self-entitled" and "whiny"). But hey, meeting people on different parts of the spectrum is one of those things that arguably makes life interesting, even if it can be annoying at times. But that's how life works - you gotta accept the good with the bad, and vice versa.

And its alright, I've developed a better tolerance of sailor mouth from people quite younger than me (although that still doesn't stop me from wondering if the "civil" in civil discourse is generally going out of style because many people these days seem to only want to learn only a few bits of vulgarity to use in the insults that seem to comprise %60 of their dialogue. I may be tolerable of foul language, but I'll have a hard time taking you seriously if you dropped F-bombs like you're giving away Halloween candy at a frat party.), so I guess it balances out. :P And yes, I'd say that for the most part things have arguably changed for the better, but there HAVE been a few things here and there that has given me and a number of others our fair share of headaches. But once again, you can't get the full life experience without a migrane or two to make you wanna buy the earliest-available ticket to any planet that isn't Earth.

Indeed it can be difficult to let go, but in my case I'm not so sure if its difficulty letting go as it is simply keeping things that in some way are a part of me, even if I no longer any immediate use for them -- sort of like a movie or game that you grew up with that made your childhood special in some way, or something like a lamp that you have no need for because your home is well-lit but wish to keep anyway because it was a birthday gift, even if it was broken. In other words, it may simply be me being nostalgic to a fault, but like I said I'm not too sure. Even I can have difficulty understanding myself at times.

Exactly. Rudeness is just one of those unfortunate things in life that one needs to deal with when dealing with people. I just choose to deal with it with either politeness, sarcasm, obfuscating stupidity, or some combination thereof (because even when I feel the need to do any of those options besides politeness I usually try to be funny about it -- but it depends on the nature of the conversation, and the people I'm speaking to. Bottom line, I'm not above arguably acting a little immature myself.). But at the very least I try to treat people with respect when I can, even the buttholes who could use a verbal smackdown beautifully verbose enough to make most politicians cry (tears of sorrow, laughter, rage, whatever flows down their rivers as they make them).
