Some of the people on here

It simply amazes me the pedestals some people put themselves on in here. People come here for advice or post something that is bothering them or anything and some people lash out with spewing venom and hate. Many times they do this to get in an argument so they can prove that they are superior to everyone else. Which just proves to me and too many other people here that they lack the self confidence and social etiquette to respond to people in a real environment, so they escape to a virtual one where they can boost their self image by bullying people in a faceless electronic world. Many people would not say this though because they do not want to tussle with the e-bully and all those who join in to follow the crowd. I will not point names as I am sure I have provided more then enough fodder for people to keep themselves busy. Evidently when one baits another and that person responds it is considered PWNG, how this ever this takes place I have yet to understand. You may be showing your intellect to a certain level but the maturity you display is nothing more then your peevish nature.

I have often wondered if some of the people here actually treat people like in real life. I would honestly have to say no because they would not have the courage to treat people like they do on here without fear of reprisal. In days before the net, many people would get their courage from a bottle, now they get it from an ac current and a glowing tube in front of them.

There is one person that was given a lifetime vacation some years ago for endlessly insulting people and provided his own exit by way of a post.(Dont waste your time trying to figure it out as many have done this to make themselves into cheap electron martyrs) Many people here revered him for making fun of people. Well I have done business with this person and his online persona is actually quite the oppposite and he is in person, one who cowers in front of people because he lacks the social grace the Good Lord gave a wart hog.

Well Thank you all I feel better and post what you like as I have no attention to check back on this post. I am sure that 99.9% will be people flaming and picking apart what I said. I am sure the context of the grammar is incorrect somewhere or I have misspelled a word. Which is all quite fine because this is a forum and not an application for life. (Wow have fun with that one)

in the past 2 years i've seen more and more of it. At first it was all in good fun, but now it seems to have turned serious.

The one thing that really made me sick was this story out of germany:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/02/19/wbahn19.xml

A jackass on the autobahn driving a Benz acted irresponsibly and caused the death of a woman and her daughter. He was found guilty and convicted. What was ATOT's response? It was the woman's own fault, since she was driving a Kia, how dare she!

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...hreadid=1252857&enterthread=y&arctab=y


lets see some quotes
A fvckin Kia in the fast lane of the Autobahn... I mean come on. She definately deserved to be startled and tailgated, but it's her own fault that she wrecked.

Someone in a KIA should NOT be in the fast lane of the Autobahn... that's sheer stupidity on her part...
...
Too bad they couldn't charge the mother posthumously for reckless/dangerous driving causing and accident and death..

fast lane..... slow lane.....

slow car.... in fast lane.....

i consider it poetic justice for all the other retards who drive slow in the fast lane...

 
I think that there are just a small handful of dickheads that set the tone for everyone. And I do believe there is a sense of pack animal mentality amoungst some of the posters here. When one person gives a poster shite, they have to jump on the bandwagon and make the OPs stay here miserable. Then, when new members join, they see this crap and think it is the norm. Then it perpertuates and when the Mods finally crack down, ppl cry about how it sucks here.

The majority of ppl here are cool, it is just a few that are immature, antagonistic and incredibly uncouth.
 
This behavior has been happening since I've been a member. It's no worse now as compared to earlier as far as I can tell; in fact, if anything, it's much tamer than what's gone on in the past. Personally, I think it's about the only worthwhile entertainment in OT - quite hilarious at times.

definitely agree with the bolded. i also agree that its usually the same people every time but i think its more than a select few or maybe those select fwew just incite the mob mentality.

i love it when i post a pic of me and gorgeous girl and they find things like my brand of clothing or spikey hair to dog me about. apparently they can't get a female even remotely close to that so they feel the need to lash out and make theirselves feel better.

that's fine, i just laugh.

I stand by my statements in that thread.

At the same time, I do feel that the personal insults hurled between members on this forum have gotten out of hand.
