Mufasa Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Whether you agree with my methods or not, the fact is, I'm trying to help things to get better. And you guys don't seem to be respecting even that. That's the kind of thing I mean. Everyone is losing respect for eachother. And it's bothersome.

Masu Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Oh come now men/women. I don't really notice tenseness here. Personally, I simply think people are over thinking things here. This is a forum where everyone just does what they want as long as it's not against the rules, right? There shouldn't be much trouble. I believe calling people out for the things they do, or things they say that are a bit silly is actually a good idea. It's the best way to make people learn. I noticed no tension here till this (no i will not change my mind on how i think this topic is) worthless topic was made. If you have common sense you would know this would kick up MORE issues <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_____ Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Wouldn't ChaosNinji's post be an example of using memes to distract people from serious discussion, as it just did? This isn't a serious discussion. Nothing's going on. ._. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every word of it. I don't really notice tenseness here either. Just a lack of seriousness. But different people view things differently, I suppose.

Dr. Tarrasque Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 It does relate to what I said about using internet memes to drive people away from serious discussion though. Yes and that falls under the "sarcastic/unserious" which we already said that we're aware of. Whether you agree with my methods or not, the fact is, I'm trying to help things to get better. And you guys don't seem to be respecting even that. That's the kind of thing I mean. Everyone is losing respect for eachother. And it's bothersome. You're avoiding a serious question and I believe you were looking for serious discussion. Do you want respect for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respect is something that needs to be earned, and KEPT, right? If someone does something stupid (or whatever) I'll likely tell them that it wasn't the best thing to do, and explain why. They can argue, or they can accept it and move on. Either way, it doesn't really make things less tense. Holding in your emotions is really unhealthy. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning, when it's needed you'll take it to PMs, or off the site right? I mean you and I do most of our heavier discussion off the site, and we always come to better understandings without the interference of other people.

Do you want respect for that? I already provided an example that I felt fit the description, but it's all relative. I'm not the only one who thinks this way, but also not everyone thinks this way either. Respect is something that needs to be earned, and KEPT, right?

You don't have to challenge everything that person says or does, simply move on with your life and ignore them. If they really bother you that much, then why are you even going into their topics?

TLSothe Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I actually tried to leave in secrecy. Gatrie+TLS found out, cuz they were the only two I mentioned it to. They got me to stay, I guess.... But, I agree completely...:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 What I find ironic is how tense this topic made everyone. <3 Well considering you can't see someone and hear their tone of voice, I'd say that really isn't provable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to challenge everything that person says or does, simply move on with your life and ignore them. If they really bother you that much, then why are you even going into their topics? ?? Maybe I need to explain better. If someone does something I think is bad/wrong, then I won't want them doing that again. I will tell them what they did wrong and why they did it wrong. This doesn't really cause tenseness, and in fact may help relieve it. It won't make me hate the person, and I won't challenge everything they do/say. Only the stupid things they do/say.

Mufasa Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Here's an example of what I mean: If I'm feeling down in the dumps, I go to my friends to cheer me up. That's why they're my friends. They make me happy. Thus, when I'm feeling sad, the best way to counter that, is to be around people that make me happy. I consider most of the people here my friends. So I post a topic here saying I'm sad, in hopes that maybe my friends can help to cheer me up. But no. Usually the first few people that pile into the topic start spewing a bunch of near flaming posts that would only make me feel worse about myself. So I end up closing the topic, before my friends can come in to cheer me up, and I feel even worse about that. Also, I irritate the people who had their big twat-athon that got me to close the topic. So no one in that sitiation wins. Whereas if those flaming pricks were to simply ignore the topic and go talk about something pointless in another topic, they won't have to deal with my whinning, and all my friends will have come to cheer me up. So everyone wins in that situation. I don't understand why people just make things worse for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
