r/decaf, a small subreddit for people looking to quit or cut down caffeine, has a fight between the nocafs and the lowcafs

It mostly seems to be one guy losing his shit in an otherwise normal thread

Just quit it all. No weaning. Why prolong it? Just get started already. It feels better to be in cold turkey withdrawals than whatever nonsense you are trying to describe. You sound really pathetic, as do many others at this forum!

Just quit cold turkey. It feels better to begin accomplishing something. You’re not weaning or tapering, all you are doing is prolonging.

You’re being a little judgemental and aggressive. I hope you’re aware enough to know that.

Reminds me of a kid who is scared to jump into the water. Or scared to dive head first into the water.

Just flipping do it already.

Damn my caffeine withdrawals were really quite manageable until becoming a regular poster at this Decaf forum. Some of the stuff you people post here is complete and utter NONSENSE. Nonsense I tell you!

Just effing quit consuming all caffeine already. Cold turkey is the ONLY way, Your time spent “weaning” counts for zilch. The timer only begins once you stop ingesting all caffeine products. What don’t you people no understand about that all?

I think you’re still withdrawing. You’d probably benefit from weaning next time when you inevitably relapse. Your negativity completely undermines whatever good was left in your post

Followed by a metapost about the conflict in which OP announces this ISNT the subreddit for her because it allows people to talk about eating chocolate or whatever.

All that discourse seems to just be one guy who lost his shit yesterday, sub is fine

Ah, okay. I don’t think this is the sub for me then. Thanks for the clarification.

I mean I’m not the king of /r/decaf, maybe others see it your way, but I’ve never seen any of these ultra-hardline “OMG NO, CHOCOLATE IS NOT ALLOWED IT HAS 10MG OF CAFFEINE” posters be received well

Answer me one question, with a Yes or No

Does chocolate contain caffeine? Yes or no

I will answer how I see fit. Whether chocolate contains minuscule amounts of caffeine is not relevant to the purpose of cutting down on caffeine, which is one of the stated goals of this sub:

This is a supportive space for people looking to cut down or cut out caffeine.

This dude’s post history is just a series of hilarious freakouts about filthy lowcafs contaminating his presence with their stimulated air. Probably some more fun slapfights to be found in there.
