To be honest, I imagine I wouldn't get on well with the majority of the Escapist users out in the real world. Our general opinions and ideals are worlds apart. It's cool though because for the most part I just like reading other peoples opinions whether I agree with them or not. Despite being a fairly hypocritical bunch (meh, you're human) the majority also seem pretty erudite so keep on doing what you're doing.

i think escapist is a pretty cool guy. eh talks smart and doesnt afraid of anythin.

Okay, okay. Idiotic meme aside, i generally feel that The Escapist is a place of liberalism. While this is supposed to be a good thing, it can result in a bit of hive-mind thinking. If you don't agree with the liberal views of the majority of the boards for example you often get targeted. However liberalism is a funny thing and people with an open enough mind are willing to accept your view even if they disagree with it.

People here tend to be smarter than most other online forum goers and people on instant messaging services. People are less superficial and willing to tackle difficult subjects like what is wrong and right, particularly things to do with ethics and morals. I've also found this community to be one of the most accepting to date. Most people are friendly towards you regardless of your race, gender, sexual orientation and so on. Which is a lot more than can be said for the real world where you still get such open discrimination.

Long story short; i heart you guys.

Yeah, you put it a lot better than I could.
Good on you!

I see everyone on hear as people, usually funny and always have something interesting to say. Quite open to different opinions some of the time and very few trolls. A really friendly bunch.

I've met quite a few awesome people. Threads on the site also help me form opinions on things, so I guess I can say the people on this site help me form my opinions on things.

I love pretty much everybody on the Escapist. I wish I could meet some of you in person. I've had great conversations with a good amount of people and have made quite a few friends on here.

Well, I will be at New York Comic-Con (on the 10th), so if any of you are going that day, hit me up and I'll meet up with you.

I feel, like you guys are the only people on Earth I can possibly have an actual intellectual conversation with.
Like any forum with a large user bases you get some good discussions going due to a wide and diverse base of opinions and knowledge, which can produce some very interesting and challenging discussions, even if no clear decision is reached

And like all forums with a large user base, you get tards who deserve to be shot who are to narrow minded to see other points of view, or even truly understand their own and the reasons behind it, who mindlessly troll and never have and never will add anything to society on any sort of scale.
This sums it all up nicely. That being said, I've rarely seen any trolls here. There are some here, for sure, but the smart-guy-to-troll ratio is in the favor of the ineligent here.
Yes :) The mods here are very good at keeping trolling to a minimum. Its a refreshing change to say the WoW forums. Seriously you'd think raking in a billion $'s a year they could afford a decent and highly active mod team. But apparently they all need another yacht, and another car to get to said yacht, and another garage for said car, and another house for said garage, as well as possibly owning a new state for said house and maybe even a new country for said state.

They are all out to get me. They seem nice, but there are no nice people on the internet. THEY must be plotting, they seem to work as a team. They know about me, they see everything, they have google afterall. The voices say not to trust them, but they seem soo nice...

Ahh! tempting me to lower my guard again, must leave, must go, before I become one.

<spoiler= horrible news people> I like the people here because they are fun. They have a sense of humor, even if the fanboy in people can come out a little too often in some specific debates [/spoiler]

You guys are all pretty decent! I like hanging out here, makes more more interesting conversation than the blocks of cement who live around here.

Thanks for being awesome!

I love each and every one of you wonderful people!

Well, that's not really true. I love most of you, but there is a very select few of you that I despise. DESPISE.

The people say things like "The world is a hell hole!", "Everyone around me is stupid!" and "I just lost my faith in humanity!" need to shut the fuck up.

Besides those people, this site is pretty cool.(Although there isn't anyone on this site that I would consider friends.)

There's a few people on this site I think are pretty awesome, but most people I don't really know well yet. But I like the place, and the atmosphere, and that the people here are pretty intelligent. :)

I like the majority of the people I meet around here. Nice, friendly and you can have a laugh with them, a decent chat with them, ranging from anything, up to and including whether or not Otacon is sexy. (He is.)

I'll admit, there are a couple of users who'd I quite like to shout at for being idiots but I 'spose that's part and parcel of a big community, I guess. Can't like everyone and their behaviour now, can you?

I already said this before some time ago, that I was surprised at how well-mannered and respectful are the people around here. It seems like it's the only place I can have a decent discussion with people.

So yeah, you're awesome guys.

I could live without most of them, though some of them have become real close friends and I'm glad to have known them since I joined the site.

I like the users on this site, some of the most intelligent and insightful people on the internet.

I'd personally give you all hugs, but some people might not like that, so just imagine Tali giving you all hugs instead.

I like most of the people here, even though some of them have different opinions than me -angry mouthbreathing-. In all seriousness though, I really love everything about this place. First and foremost may be the fact that there's a lot of debate, but not too much arguing. I also love that everyone here has a pretty decent sense of humor. Plus if someone says "don't feed the trolls" doesn't work, I link them to this site.

Some are douchebags who make no sense, but Im not complaining about specifics. The overall is good.
