After being active in these forums the most part of 3+ years now, there are a lot of people who just do not care. I know, I know, this can sound absurd (note the sarcasm), and downright humorous, but hear me out :p. Many times in these forums have I witnessed some of you being complete jackasses. Without cause or reason, you lash out to someone in dispair, with which the main reason usually seems to be annoyance.

Do some of you rude ass people understand that you can actually just skip a thread and not post in it? There's really not any one thread I am posting this in relation to, just wanted to create a poll :D.

I am rude, and proud of it. If someone starts a thread on a public forum, they are looking for opinions. If mine doesnt agree with theirs, that would be their problem

i don't consider myself one of the rude ATOT posters.

i'd be willing to bet that 99% of the rude posters on AT aren't so in real life. they are probably picked on in real life and come here to vent.

Usually...sometimes I don't care.

But, being a Libra, I try to stay balanced...I'd be a good arbitrator. ;)

If you think I am rude without reason, you don't get it :) .

IRL, everyone thinks something is wrong when I'm not fecetious.

I always do. So many times have I typed out a post and just thought about the reactions I would get and erased it lol.

well, i think there's a difference between opinionated and rude.

lots of flames are started with "you fvsktard..." or "you moron..." or "what are you stupid?" . it's easy to type that out, but i'd bet 99% of those people would never say that in real life.

That's one of the things that bugs me most about this place. You know what most of these dumbass internet tough guys are like in real life. Very annoying.

I can proudly say however that I am not one of them. I'm almost as much of a dick in real life as I am here. It's a little easier to be a dick here to be honest. Not like I look to be rude to people. I just say things how I see them. If you ask me a stupid fvcking question expect my answer to, in some manner, let you know what an idiot you are. Whether it's here or in my normal life.

Yup... so many people are flat out rude on the internet because the person they are talking to can't haul off and hit them on the spot. Most wouldn't say 1/10 the crap the do on the boards to someone in person.

Then again there are some of us who can't match our RL personalities because IRL there's no mod slapping my mouth after we cuss :Q

nicerer :p

I have also canceled a reply before, knowing I would get grief. I guess sometimes it's hard to bite your tounge when you know there isn't someone there to slap the taste out of your mouth.

Lately I have been wallowing in a pool of emotion and confusion, so I have no desire to argue or be a jerk. Yet.
