Why are people in these forums so mean?

[SackOfAllTrades]

I HAD some very mean friends on these forums...but they were harmless.

 

[Optimus]

<< Hand in there!!! >>



Windogg: Freudian slip? I say keep both hands on the keyboard, thanks very much!




jeans: I love everyone here. You hear me, you turds? I said I freakin love the whole dang lot of you _losers_! Take that and shove it!!!

 

[Capn]

I see you haven't been around on the net much huh? You think this place is mean I suggest you go check out some other forums which are not moderated as well as this one. Don't take it seriously, it's just a side effect of the 'net.

 

[classy]

I may be a lot of things, but mean is not one of them.

 

[bigbootydaddy]

since a joke is far too advanced for you to understand:


<< I see you escaped from the litter box before the cat covered you up. >>



yeah, rough, tell your sister to quit scratching so damn hard.

 

[beat mania]

Mean? You mean those big mouths who starts talking about beating people up and death sentence and castration and all that whenever someone post anything that's related to the past occurance of a crimial activity?

 

[Russ]

bigbootydaddy,

That attempt at a flame was so pitiful, I'm embarrassed for you. Feel free to try again.

Russ, NCNE

 

[bigbootydaddy]

NAH, ill end it here, youre not worth it.

i dont think people come off being mean, but being that everything is typed the whole concept or body language ,if you will, is misread and taken wrong plenty of times. (see above...jk = just kidding, btw)

hi GFriday

 

[Isla]

LOL, you guys are terrible!

The Nice Fairy only has so much time in her day to make everything all right.

My first lesson here was that I can't take it personally or seriously!

Keep that in mind and have fun.

 

[sparkle]

what are you talking about ass-butt?

 

[vi edit]

Didn't you know? Everyone on the internet is 6'5&quot;, 300 pounds, breathes fire and shoots lightning bolts out of their arse. &quot;Nice&quot; isn't in our vocabulary.

 

[Yeeny]

vi_edit: Oh no, I don't fit that description. I am 5'11 and a lingerie model who can cook like Betty Crocker and keep a house like Martha Stewart.

Fallen: Oh no, I want the good stuff this time buddy, or thats's it.

 

[vi edit]

Ok, GF, that's what all of the women on the internet are like

Reguardless, we all also have IQ's in the 140's or higher.

<< Reguardless, we all also have IQ's in the 140's or higher. >>

but sometimes we misspell words.... just to make the 'lurkers' feel more at home

Jeans:

First of all, someone from Canton is complaining about us being mean? Good grief!

Secondly, we do a lot of &quot;toasting&quot;. Some of it is in good humor, some of it is of a pedagogical bent, some of it is mean. I don't think you should underestimate the importance of being mean to some of these guys. Some of them actually need a large rubber mallet to be struck on or about their cranial cavity on a regular basis. Please feel free to take a whack, but protect yourself at all times.

Welcome.

&quot;bigbootydaddy,

I see you escaped from the litter box before the cat covered you up.

Russ, NCNE&quot;


Hahahahaha, I needed a good laugh Russ. Thanks

<< And I already know, if I don't like it here, I should go somewhere else. I will >>



I won't even bother to say it...

 

[Rand]

I hate to say it but compared to 90% of most messageboards on the internet people here are all incredibly polite!

Seriously, I don't ind people here are all that mean. There are a few off posters who seem to delight in flaming everyone they can but they tend to be a rarity. It's just allot of the posters here are very opinionated, and can come across as being rude.

Stay a while longer, I'm sure you'll come to like it!
Besides, you'll be hard pressed to find another forum that has this level of knowledeable posters.

 

[tantos]

just human nature to put people down so that they can feel better about themselves..don't worry about it..their low self esteem will only hurt them in real life..this is online!

 

[hzl eyed grl]

I came here originally because I heard the people here were mean to newbies and I wanted to see for myself. Sure, there are people that don't make it pleasant, but for the most part I've met a lot of cool people here. You have to learn to stick up for yourself or you'll just get walked on.

BTW: I don't bite. Usually anyway. :Q

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

<< don't worry about it..their low self esteem will only hurt them in real life.. >>


Isn't it kinda weird that you are putting down mean people by saying they have a low self esteem. Do you not know the repurcussions of your own arrogant &quot;I'm nice so I'm OK&quot; attitude? Please don't generalize us mean people, my self-esteem is stewed to a perfection! I don't try to be mean half the time, it's just people don't see how much they avoid hypocrisy, yet they unknowingly do it themselves and give lame excuses for impunity.

 

[kami]

I think I would enjoy this place a whole lot less if everyone wasn't so mean. Fvcking bastards! Every single one of you!

Besides, we all know no one is really serious and most of the members here would never stand up for themselves in Real-Life(tm) like they do on here.

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

I never mean anything hostile I say, I always PM whoever I am addressing and let them know that I am not serious.

 

[SSP]

You think members here are mean???? Please go to somethingawful.com forums, then tell me you like that hole much more than this one.
