So let me get this straight...you have a constructive conversation with your girlfriend about my reply, go on Google to do some research, go back to my reply and correctly pick out my straw man arguments, and all I get is, "Thank you for forcing me to learn something today, because you sure as shit didn't teach me a damn thing." You may want to reflect on that...
Anyway, I see that you are very passionate about Hive and you see its potential. Perhaps that is why you are getting so tired of others speaking badly about it. It is hurting you inside that others are quick to bash something that you truly believe in...that stings. This makes you feel sad inside, and as a secondary emotion (because you do not like feeling sad) anger is causing you to lash out via your comments. It's all very psychological once you start to break things down to their simpler forms.
You are like a young wine that has just been bottled to be aged. You have all the raw materials and potential there...you are just lacking "aging." You still need to mellow out and let time work its wonders. Once you get to that level, I think you will find it easier to convince other's to see things as well as you do. Until then, I see plenty of heated debates and butting of heads in your near future (if that hasn't happened already).
I wish you well and your girlfriend as well in your endeavors and your experience here on Hive. I hope one day, your Utopia is reached on this platform.
And for the record...
2 + 2 = 4, until the Party decides 2 + 2 = 5
Peace to you as well Young Man!
