Heated feuds.

February 21 2012

I, for one, am sick of the pointless bickering that spills from thread to thread. Don't these idiots realise that what they post is an advertisement for their profiles. It's fine to disagree with someone and put forward a carefully worded arguement against their opinion, that's what we're here for, but childish insults, rants and threats are not welcome. I hope others will join me in expressing our disapproval of this behaviour. Send a clear message.

    I agree Jensman   I often post on forums if they are still true to the topic and I see nothing wrong with expressing a point of view that is different from others. If we all had the same opinion for everything then life would be a little boring so bring on a healthy debate of opinions. Unfortunately some topics seem to foster ill-will (sorry, can't think of a better term for it at the moment). Generally if the topics have become a slinging match between members I will stay away from that forum and certainly won't post on them.   I enjoy reading most of the forums and the differing opinions on them but if they continue to become a heated mud-slinging contest then I'm out of here. I am often disappointed by this happening because often I find the topics interesting.   Although in saying that..... sometimes we all need a rant to get it off our chest (isn't that kind of what we have both done jensman?) as long as it doesn't degrade anyone or become a mud-slinging competition.

    while its ok for things to become 'passionate'.....its a different matter, when it becomes personal...we've had our fair share, and are happy to say its settled down quite a bit of late.... its been some months now since we've be subjected to abuse, name calling and hate mail......and we are liking it....lol...makes for a happier experience for all..........

    I actually don't mind reading a decent bitch/bastard fest. Sure it can go below the belt at times but disagreement is a function of agreement. . If the administrator (eye in the sky) lets it go on, it can't be too vicious in it's/her/his eyes.

    I think that the main point missed is that this is an ADULT forum- people act like kiddies in the sandpit (or worse actually) I lose interest very quickly once that sort of thing starts and i just stop reading which is a real shame because often these people hijack an otherwise great thread.I often wonder if sometimes the personal attacks have something to do with an actual gripe between people (you know they met and something went not so great).I think it is a shame when threads get closed off because of that sort of thing it would be better if the offending comments were removed and the person who wrote it banned from future threads (that might stop the serial offenders).Have your opinion by all means but articulate it without cutting someone else down, that is how to get your point across, remember that you don't have to make it your mission in life to have everyone agree with you or to convince them that you are right. Now remember play nice everyone

    or agression. it's a warning for those of us to keep away from them. a person who can take a public insault and not react, is someone i admire.being offended is actually a choice someone makes. people often forget that. those who can truly choose to let the water flow from their hind feathers get my proverbial upturned thumb.

    Hey thats what forums are for and some do get a little heated so what take as it is..... A person has a right to defend their rights if someone has offended them or their sexuality probably with out trying to offend someone else.....   After all, we are only human and as chilli says: it better to say something than bottle it up and stress out......   A lot of its when people (that includes me) reply to a thread sometime they dont think till its too late as I am learning is to close the thread down and come back later then you may see it from a different point of view.....   But sometime people do ask for what they get... nothing better than a good shit stir to get the blood pumping around ones body......   Some of the trouble is, when you start a thread and ask a question about something you would like to know... then you get a few that put ford their point rudely or taget the very question you asked, YES it human nature to reply.... Yes sometimes I will go away and think of what they said, at times I have replyed straight away as they have pissed me off with their accusations or lack of respect for one sexuality or what you have ask.....   One example is the thread placed by me in Perths Hot Topics... Are you Bisexual or Straight? you will see what I mean...   Have a nice day, and be good, if you cant be good just be very good at being naughty.....   PSS I do apologies if this come up more than once as my computer crashed in the middle of it....

    I like a good argument. I like to see two intelligent combatants put forward condidered opinion. I like to see one intelligent combatant take a fool down a few pegs. I don't mind a bit of playful baiting. When it gets down to people trying to bully their opinion across as in, "you'll be picking up teeth for a month" or the afore mentioned fool, not realising he's been bettered, look for his antagonist on any thread and seek to belittle him with childish remarks, it really gets up my nose.

    I have to plead guilty to being an argumentative bitch and to stirring my adversary with a war of words, just because I could. I am however, innocent of name calling and unwarranted personal attacks.I don't speak out without some knowledge or having done some research on the subject under debate. I find it rather annoying to have people give their opinions as facts to try and refute what I have said.One thing that tends to spark debate is when someone asks for general opinions. I have seen it happen lately. Not everyone is going to agree with one another but not everyone can agree to disagree and so the arguments start. Commonsense and courtesy are forgotten and then someone takes someones comments personally and the name calling starts.WWIII wont start on the battlefield with bombs and guns. It will start on a forum on the internet and things will get bloody without so much as a bullet being fired.

    Quoting 'MissSarahCurious' Nice people who don't say anything unless it's nice, meet the internet. Internet, meet the nice people.LOLxx Sarah The greatest thing about the internet is that it gives everyone an opportunity to have their voice heard. The worst thing about the internet is that it gives everyone an opportunity to have their voice heard.On the other (and slightly less cynical) hand, when someone devolves into childish rants it's a pretty good indication that they're probably a terrible human being and not deserving of your attention and everything they have to say can be safely ignored.Stuck

    that people cannot see each others faces, or hear the inflections in each others voices, makes what might be simple, inoffensive statements of fact, observation, opinion, or even query...into an attack...... we might say something half smart and half funny....as a friendly little poke....and it blows up in our faces.... or we might be very passionate and emotional about another thing.....and its turned into a joke....looking at someones face/eyes/mouth or even hands and body....changes the meaning, one way or the other by loading it with drama, or passion, or frivolity and energy....we all miss out on that here...here its different....here, its even dangerous.... here we lose friends, and make enemies, all because we cant share the intimate, personal little messages and moods, that a face to face conversation...or even argument, is loaded with....in the real world.... we talk on 2 or even 3 levels, sometimes more.... all at the same time....deliberately....and subliminally....here its all flat and emotionless.....and easily misunderstood, or treated as offensive.............

    I just bought a new precision ergo-mouse and set it to scroll twelve lines per click instead of the standard six...kind of like speeding up if you see a skunk that's about to cross the road and don't want to hit the damn thing. | You're right MT...the 'net has all the potential to spin the world sideways. Check out the kid here in Australia that hacked all the major banks...or the group of students at MIT that took a few years but managed to spray paint the NASDAQ exchange with false accounts and warnings. Jearzus, imagine if a couple of the little shits started playing war games online and interfaced with the Pentagon. Relax, they won't let Julia play...well, at least not until she no longer the PMS of Australia. Krudd...don't worry about his as he must have had his joy stick surgically removed...and Tony has no idea where to plug his in so I guess we're safe. | Oh well...glad there are some honest folks out there.

    I am a shit-stirrer....I can't help myself. Shit stirrer, argumentative, cheeky little prick, etc etc. Sure, I don't always have something nice to say, but who does? Besides, I bet it was someone sickly sweet who coined the "If you don't have something nice to say...." misnomer....I certainly have no bones about lambasting someone who has imparted a piece of what they call "wisdom" in an offensive manner. It's great fun watching someone scramble for a retort...particularly so when petty name calling or minor insults are the only available invective Hugs....oh and Stalks, yes, I'll still call you my bitch

    Not everyone is going to be nice, not everyone is going to play fair. Whether it is on here or in real life. I love a good healthy debate. I very rarely go on the attack unless attacked first though and I do not take things to the personal name calling level.It is when the debate is degraded to the level of teenage squabbles I get a little annoyed. Use facts and not personal opinions to back an arguement. If we were all having a sycophantic, butt licking, arse kissing time...how fucking boring would that be?.

    (or at least one of them does). We can't see a person's face or hear their tone of voice on a forum so we can misjudge their inflections. Then again, along those same lines, because it is not face to face, some people become suddenly brave and happily behave rudely as they know there can be no physical confrontationl and they can safely get away with it.   p.s. Mikeandshel, if you sign your posts, we will know which of you to credit with which point of veiw.

    "...There is a much better and polite way about it than to abuse someone for stating their opinion." Perhaps you could explain your own recent infantile rant on the "Ladies with tattoos" thread. It didn't come close to being polite.

    I try not to send a message, SMS or post without some use of emoticons to set the tone and also to adjust it accordingly. It helps to reduce misinterpretation. If there is not one that fits then that is what brackets and an adjective are useful for.* *Cass xxx

    We're all a bunch of passionate peeps deep down, and it's hard not to be when confronted with the possibility that our own personal views are thought less of by others, it 'get's to us' so in defending a point of view it can get heated quite quickly. The opposite is also true, when we are offended by another's slant or view on something Meh....shrugs, what can you do? This is the way it works

    Opinionated Bitch, present, sir! Although, at risk of sounding defensive, I'd like to think that I'm rarely offensive. (I did say "rarely" ;) lol). I'm just blessed with a large opinion gland :P it's genetics, I swear! In all seriousness, though, those that know me well, know that I'm just as likely to admit fault, apologise, and move the fuck on, as I am to dive in and turkey slap the collective with my POV. I'm also just as likely to be silly and ireverrant as I am to be unecessarily bitchy :D *shrug* pardon me for being human? :P

    No seriously.....compared to a while back, this is so tame nowadays it's almost Sunday school Lol. Do we have less passionate posters around now? I'm inclined to think so.... we lose the funny, bighearted huggers, smartasses, the token asshole, the sweet and even the creepery ones, some move on because it's time, some are hounded away, and some I'm sure are taken off weekend release priveledges. . While it's nice to have all pleasant conversations, the idea of thousands of people posting from all sides of the country and walks of life , is to get a thousand sides or opinions.......when the hell did we start wanting to jam all the weird and wonderful personalities into one 'safe n nice' mold?

    the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of it's literal meaning   or   an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected   There was no irony in what I wrote on the other thread but it is ironic that you should bring that disagreement to this thread and prove both my points for me, those being that petty arguements spill across from thread to thread and that you can indeed be quite arrogant. Thank you, kindly.

    I am pleased that you have been following my writings, but I never mentioned the seeker on the self worth thread. After his tirade on the tattoo thread, howver, it did seem relevant to point out his comments on this thread. I would also like to say that it is "pointless" bickering that erks me. In each of the examples that you have put forward, I had a definite point to make. Truth be told, the seeker was in fact a major inspiration to initiating this thread because of the way he attacked young jamesnp thread after thread with childish insults that bore no relevance to the topic at hand. There are others of course, three or four in particular, who have a need to flaunt their bravery by making threats of physical violence while maintaining the anonymousness afforded them by their RHP handles. I openly apologise to you and anyone else who feels my postings have been hypocritical. As far as Mike bringing our 'profile' disagreement here, I am disapointed as we have been on the same page on most other subjects and I hoped that this particular disagreement would remain on the thread where it generated.

    the irony was...that in your eagerness to paint me with the arrogant brush, you were yourself, doing exactly what your thread here was about.... with your reference to words you had exchanged in the 'tattooed woman' thread.... it didnt take even the smallest thought to work out who you meant..... perhaps we can tar and feather you...or at least hang a sign on your back that says 'whoopsie'?......... at times we all make unfortunate statements.... maybe me more often than not....lol...but hey, at least i'm having a go. my comments and mood had already been pulled back in, and an apology written and sent, long before i had a dig at you calling me arrogant.... and i re- iterated what i had sent (not word for word), to cass (multiplexx) privately..its all good.... i was out of line , and am happy to wear the butt smack i deserved......... so we agree that nobody here is an angel? i hope so..... as even DGT has had her share of goes at me...lol...none of which have been forgotten...i must be such a bad person......lol. (even 'lol' has had me in trouble)........ bet shes no bloody angel either, just quietly...
