35. It's frustrating

because some people on here are sycophants. In their mind, no one they like in the real world can ever do wrong. Even when the vast majority of posters see that they do wrong, the sycophants vehemently defend them. It's no different than dealing with a cultist. That's the frustrating part for many on here, myself included.
