I find it a bit surprising how unwilling people are to change, even after being warned.

Because it's a group of words on the internet. It's a lot easier to ignore that and carry on being a bigoted arse in that instance than when someone verbally tells you to shut up or gtfo.

Even a group of words on the internet has meaning and impact It's the medium on how it was presented and how much the receiver thinks and takes from it. Though a good point is that words on the internet while being there for quite a long time, compared to words verbally said being only present in memory, it's the manner of communication. One can easily interrupt and divert conversations verbally, whereas on the internet, it's a consecutive piecing of ideas in that nobody can interrupt you while you type your post--so the responsibility also comes with what you type since you can modify it in all the time it takes before pressing the post button.

This sometimes does not occur because of how familiarity happens in internet communication. A post may then become as casual a conversation as the idea presents itself.

I've told everyone that I'm kill immune and people still don't seem to get it, so I provided evidence that yes, I am actually kill-immune.

1. It might specifically say something something about scum that it would help scum to know.

2. It means TDS. Well not really. But you'll see why.

Why do you think I'm scummy and why are you wasting your vote on me? Everyone has already tried to lynch me once, you know.
