The internet is a strange thing. It Almost seems to bring out the worst in people. It certainly lowers inhibitions, and invites aggressive behavior. Seems like its just easier to fight online than anywhere else. This might play into the hands of the Occupy Wall Street movement; thousands of people all over the United States and the world, communicating instantaneously, sharing plans, sharing the anger of protest, emboldening each other.
I rarely argue with anyone fact to face, but as soon as I start to communicate with people online, the arguments commence. Chat rooms are apparently losing popularity, and the constant fighting which characterized them might be part of the cause. The Truthless Reconciler is intended to become a forum for all manner of different perspectives, not just one. Everybody is invited to submit creative writing. The Truthless Reconciler reserves the right to edit, and to require open identity for all writers.
Original creative writing should be new and unusual, controversial.
