I think the whole human race is immature.

I was not shocked to find immaturity rampant among furries. Neither was it really all that surprising to find that ball joint doll fans tended to be childish. And of course it's no more than one might expect to see that My Little Pony fans are not always paragons of adult behavior (though actually they seem to do better than the former two fandoms,) but man... the official board of inquiry for a certain reptile themed forum is worse than any of the above mentioned for childish insults! Here are threads that are intended to be serious, facts-only discussions of business practices, where grown men are calling each other names. Somebody actuall was running around calling somebody else named "Barry" "Dingleberry." I haven't heard something like that since I left elementary school.

I am forced to conclude that the entire human race is descending into childhood.

Heh... That's actually a bit of a nickname for my little sister. We come from a family with the surname "Berry". So, the most aggravating nickname we could come up with for her as kids was 'dingleberry'.

Thing is, at this point it's not even insulting anymore, just a nickname.
