Does it bother you? It bothers me.

If people wouldn't say something "IRL", why would they say it on the internet? :confused:

It depends on who it is.

If it were someone whose opinion I respected, I might have to stop and re-evaluate whatever it is that we're talking about.

If it's one of these... people who I seriously disagree with on almost every point... I might take it as a compliment. ;)

Even if you really are a moron, that stills lands you in the top 3% of folks that hang out here, humanity-wise. :)

good point. perhaps i should rephrase. there seems to be a lot of members with big attitudes on the boards. in real life however, i'm thinking the attitude would disappear 99%. know what i mean?

why can't people just be nice? i don't get it.

well personally if youre being a moron and thread crapping, you might deserve it. so dont be suprised when the person that you PM doesnt respond or care, when in all honesty you should just be a man and get over it.

I would be offended if I weren't called a moron at least once a month.

I cry and cuddle with my lucky silver Mensa pin for solace, but the pain never really goes away. Why are people so mean?? :( :( :(

who cares? anyone that feels the need to use name calling to make a point/fill the need to put someone down/make themselves look cool or feel better,especially over internet, has issues greater than my perceived stupidity.

in real life it would depend on whether i was being a moron or not. sometimes we need to be told we are being stupid if we are.
