Drama has really been getting out of hand lately. Users have even been questioning the use of the term "drama." Drama is. ..

2 an exciting, emotional, or unexpected series of events or set ofcircumstances : a hostage drama | : an afternoon of high drama at Fenway Park.

Many users disagree with arguing, debating, and complaining being drama. Others say that "debating" does not cause drama. I pondered this while I was camping and decided to test this theory: if a user says something that one or more other users do not like, do not agree with, or do not believe, they begin to argue over it. This has happened in history; most notably over positions such as becoming high monarch between the heirs, the bickering over which caused kingdoms to fall. Get the relation?

I decided to test this by making up something completely ridiculous and random. I said I "killed two bears" with one arrow and a ballistic knife (I was cracking up typing that, knowing the mere impossibility) and, sure enough, there came a thread of arguing solely for the purpose of mocking/attempting to disprove my "claim" (rofl xD).

After "defending my case" (XD), I yet again see another hate comment about it.

In short, this just proves how much users here want to be "right" in arguments. What does being "right" really mean? Coming out on top? Getting to have the first spoonful of cookie dough? Being on a debate team myself, I would know about people who are merely correcting and those who are simply trying to be right.

I have learnt that those who attempt to be "right" are usually the greedy and/or arrogant ones who care only about themselves and "winning," in this case doing so amongst the aforementioned "argument."

In closing, I have only one thing to say:

Is it worth it, to go to lengths unneeded and possibly lose friends, respect, and sometimes great opportunities just to be "right"? Let's take a look at the people who've thought so, honestly.

Do me a favour: List 5 people in your head on this wiki who have done just that.

Thanks,
