Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So he'd scratch his name on the glass of a bus stop, and that would be ok? How about carving his name in a tree?

No one give a f* about your mark.

At face value, you're right. His mark is pointless, and in the colosseum case, degrading even.

But a lot of ancient buildings are nowadays studied for the marks found on them. If you squint your mind's eye a bit, you can even imagine that some of the cave paintings that we nowadays admire are nothing but a testament to some dude's wish to leave their mark. No one cared until someone started to care.

Funny how relative all these things are, right?

This gives me so many mixed feelings. 🤭
