A lot of crap gets flung around here. Insults, jokes, name calling, it all happens. Sometimes, people even go for deep personal insults. What I'm wondering is if any of you all have ever let any of it get to you? Personally, nothing a stranger on the internet says to me is going to ruin my day or even affect my mood for longer than the time it takes me to read their post.

A person I've noticed who seems especially adept at shrugging off insults is Jerboy. Why do people even bother to continue to insult him?

Then why did you feel the necessity to post that pyonir hates you at Adul's forums after insulting you here if it doesn't affect you? And why bring up the topic again if it doesn't affect you? 😉

It's all about the attention whoring, my man. 😉
 
No, I have not been emotionally affected. The only time I am emotionally affected is when I care a lot about someone or an entity. Now, if I do feel that way and trusted them, then I am really hurt. I wouldn't be scarred for life, but I would have a reason never to trust even those who earn it.

But in a nutshell, I have not formed any personal friendship with members of Anandtech forums. I have ran into conflict with people. And I know a few who would rather not have me here just 'cuz of my candidness and refusal to conform to certain lifestyles. However, I don't care so long as they stay off my path and I stay off theirs. That's my philosophy . . . it won't affect me until I let it. I am not about to do so. The internet, forums especially, is for exchange of ideas and not to be equated with real life.

You know, 5400+ posts and over a year of being a member, I am just starting to figure most of the regulars out enough to maybe form an e-friendship with them.

i think of internet forums like TV, it isn't "real" , it is closer to pretend/fiction, since there are trolls/posers/people that flat out lie about everything they say/post on the internet

it's just good entertainment, nothing to take personally

And that's different from real life how?

Yeah, I think I've probably got myself a little overly worked-up in some instances (no names heheh), but I got over it. 😉
 
I think what is at issue here is whether or not we can feel put down by others. My experience tells me that the number of people free from that possibility is vanishingly small. Sorry if that sounds like I'm calling you non reactors liars. You aren't telling the truth, but that's to be expected. Everything we are, our whole personality structure, bassically, is a defense abainst the realization of how badly words have hurt us. We are all impostors living the fiction that we don't feel bad. It really isn't that people don't hurt us. It's that we don't allow ourselves to feel pain. "People can't hurt me." Naturally they can't. I'm emotionally dead. I don't feel anything, not just no pain. But because we close down emotionally, we sacrifice positive emotions like joy, trust, and love. It's a trade off, but a bad one. The game is uiversal and sophisticated. We are all REAL MEN or REAL WOMEN. We have all kinds of rituals for the dead. We laugh at suffering, make fun of the week, blame the victom, and on and on. The only real way past feeling put down is to feel put down, to take the feeling to the extreme so that it becomes the actual living reexperience of when it really happened to us in childhood. Doing that and seeing how bankrupt, how empty, the people were who did that to us we can open a door to real freedom. The REAL REAL PERSON is invulnerable not because he is covered by massive armor, but because he or she is totally open, alive, and filled with love. Into that ocean of love some call God you can pour an infinity of hate spite ridicule and contempt and it all gets transformed into a perfect smile.

Well said !!!! 🙂


Btw, Moonbeam, imho this is one of your finest posts and describes almost perfectly how I choose to live.. I dare to love,openly and without reservation or hesistation, yeah it hurts when I get screwed but life being totally numb was like being dead ! I turn my eyes and heart towards the sun and try to look for the good
we come this way once and I'm going to spend whatever time I've got on the planet happy 🙂 The love you give is the love you get !
 
On the internet, no. Whatever you say to me runs off like water on duck feathers as soon as I get up to take a piss.

In real life, heh, pretty much the same thing. If you try to insult me and get my goat, I'll either completely ignore you or make you fscking miserable...and have a great time doing it. 😛

Thank you baffled2, 😀 That makes me feel very good. I had thought but forgot to add in support of my case, that when I get a complement, and I suspect others are the same, it makes me feel great, so why would it be different the other way round.
