<< "Relax, Chill out, it's only the internet."
Perhaps I should do just that. Pardon me, I forgot. This is the internet. This is where people like "Flower-Boy" can get away with insulting people and not suffer immediate consequences.
Look into the mirror people. Most of you are homely, limp noodle types that don't have the balls to act in such a fashion face to face. If all who have responded to my initial post were in a room, and we were having this conversation live--well, let's just say it would have been over long ago.
Post away children. I'm done here... >>
Dude, relax. That response tells me that you:
a) Like most others who take the defensive, assume everyone else on the internet is a complete geek with no life that lack desireable physical, social, and financial attributes. Well, everyone except for yourself of course.
b) Might have some self-control/anger management problems considering it seems you can't hold an intellectual conversation/debate without resorting to fisticuffs.
c) Have a somewhat distorted view of reality considering no one is going to meet you in Atlanta to settle this. As so many have already noted, its the internet. Yes, people can do things to people here without repercussion, but really, what was so bad about what he said originally. He might have been able to phrase it a bit better, but again, intonation and expression are lost in print. Chances are it probably wouldn't have sounded as bad in the context of a discussion.
Chances are, you are none of the above, b/c I'm basing it on a single instance where you got a bit hot. Point is, you can assume any persona here, and you can also be easily/grossly misinterpreted from a few words.
Lighten up.....don't take people's responses so seriously; if you can manage that then you will soon find out that these boards really aren't as bad as your friend cracked em up to be.
