I feel bad for some of you people.

Why? Cuz some of you folks are very bitter and hostile in your posts. Wether it's a act or not I'm not sure but I find it somewhat disturbing that some ppl like to just troll or shit on someone's thread, because it get's them off in some perverse way. I'm not talking about my threads personally but other peoples too. You know the vibe becomes pretty negative. Oh yeah I hold grudges against others who mist-treat friends of mine and it always sticks out in my mind when certin ppl treat others poorly. I never Forget.

So Why are some people so Hostile um they jealous or something?

Because arguing is fun, and you won't get your ass kicked for being a wiseass over the internet!

:argue: = board

:stupid: = me

Heh - yeah...I've learned not to take stuff so seriously anymore on message boards. But also, it is good to be mindful of what you post, after all, these are real people we're all conversing with.

Arguing and disagreements are a part of any internet messageboard, eventually differing ideas and beliefs come into conflict with one another and hostilities of some sort often follow.

:argue:

Just so long as it doesn't degenerate into outright flame wars left and right resulting in people having to be burned by mods for acting like assinine clowns, then all is good.

I was born and bred in #GF_Tavern, so having wiseass remarks online is a part of me. Even then, I'm never the fraction of other people, and usually reserve wiseass remarks for those who are being totally jaded or two-faced or close-minded.

Hey, I use my real name. :) But anyway, I try not to be too bitter in my posts. And I think it's pretty rare when I shit on someone's thread or I act like a troll. And I'm almost always polite in real life or on IM conversations. Maybe there's something about these boards that causes people to act a certain way.

I was a really combative individual when I first discovered online communities in '99. That attitude spilled over until about 2000-2001, but I think it's lessening its grip on me as I've matured (OK, started ignoring contrary opinions), and I try to avoid endless, pointless, inevitably embarrassing debates. For the most part, I think I've succeeded. My posts are no characterized by an easy-going pointlessness. Much better.

An easy explanation for hostility: teenagers + internet.

Heh...the only thing that's quite annoying is Andyrose and his army of Neomega followers spamming this board to get people to join their community. ;)

Seriously though, the negative commentary now and then doesn't bother me much at all. It's not uncommon that people won't get along...but maybe that's why a number of people joined sites like Neomega (or plan to create their own). One sadly can not control the attitudes of others simply by banning them. If that's how they wish to act online, it's their own perogative to change. Some do it for attention, others out of bordeom...or even entertainment. How we choose to respond to it of course, will vary...

What spamming? :p

Anyway, I don't like being negative so I'm not. And if the board gets negative I avoid those particular boards for a time. But, everyone has their own opinion. So everyone has their own way of posting, some troll, some post :) all the time, some flame...I'm pretty used to it now. To each their own. :D

My trolling is limited to mostly pointing it out when you say something stupid or generally making you feel like an idiot for having a wrong opinion (and there are wrong ones). I never let loose a personal attack or anything of that sort, and I've rarely seen anyone do that here since Zidane has been gone.

Who exactly is so hostile? The only person I've ever seen get truly hostile is EThugg, the rest of us are mostly just argumentative and passionate about certain things. I think you're reading a lot of biting wit and misconstruing it for anger or hate.

Blah, yeah, people have been sucky, but what can you do eh? I've tried to create my own community where people arent so uptight, or annoying, or stupid, or pathetic, or paranoid, or neurotic, or whatever else grates my wang the wrong way. Thing is, all the people that I dont talk to "IRL" about videogames are online so sporadicly that it was futile. I get the fewest headaches here, and am able to even smile on the occasion when certain people aren't posting.(they usually have names that start with an "s" and end with a "tibbons"[would that be considered a personal attack?*gasp!*])

Yeah, I like the board for the most part, though it would be nice to see some people lighten up a tad. I would suggest a beer, but that might send this thread into a flammable oblivion. Fun.

Where have the merry makers gone?

Hostility sucks. There are a few posters here that I am sure that would get their asses kicked if they acted IRL as they do on the boards. Hence, they are probably as tame and inoffensive IRL as a kitten...

I know a few of you use the real names, but this made up name thing, is just silly. If you had to do it for work, then I can understand :P. But, other than that, it's an odd thing.

Not everyone has a name as appealing as yours. And not everyone who has a "fake" name is hiding anything. It would take you about five seconds to find my name, and probably another twenty to find my address.

I've stated my real name in the past which is "Ian" and explained how my real name is part of my online name. I dunno I picked Korian as my name cuz I hated the nickname in High school , and I just love to remind myself.

Hey a question for you MVS why is your name hidden when your browsing online, you don't want ppl to know your here or somethin? I've had my own theroy about that which I won't get into. Just wondering?
31 Jul 2002, 02:00 PM

I've never said that people who use fake names are hiding something. I just think it's odd and leans towards the 'making dream world my reality' or something.

Let's hear your theory, korian. This might be interesting. :)
31 Jul 2002, 03:09 PM
Korian

I'm sure people have their own reasons for having their usernames hidden. My theroy though it can't be proven and is only a small percentage is that some people who don't show that they are browsing use it as front to take on Dual personalities and or do the hit and run element of surprise posting. So if someone talks shit or whatever thinking the person is gone, they will be surprised by the person they were talking about suddenly starting to post. I understand why mods might not want to be know when they are on as a way of checking posts, but as far as other posters, I like to have ppl know when I'm here posting. MattVanStone I'm sure you have your own reasons.

What an intriguing theory, but I highly doubt that's why MVS (or really anyone here) uses the feature.

31 Jul 2002, 03:18 PM
Korian

Yep Bahn whenever there's Drama going down I notice you make your username visibile. Otherwise I thought it was pretty much hidden

As for MVS I was thinking that it is ironic that he gets on peoples cases for not using real names but yet doesn't want it to be known when he is browsing.
31 Jul 2002, 03:28 PM
MVS

I don't find it ironic, and that's not really the reason.

At times, I do just screw with the options of the board, turning avatars, sigs, pm's and visibility off. Sometimes I change it around and all that.

I only have the one account. I did once try to set up a 2nd, when I was banned, but that didn't fly and it's got 0 posts.

It's good if you want people to know when you are posting, but, for me, I have my ICQ and Aim numbers down there below, and if I was truly trying to hide, then I would not do that and allow someone to IM me at any time I am on.

I don't see a clear comparison, personally, between my online status not in the header of the pages (but shown in my threads that I am online, and someone could IM me) and a person choosing to use an alternate name for themeselves.

In the end, I'm sure bahn could tell you how many accounts I use.

:) :(

And...I\'m not getting on anyones case here, I simply said I feel bad for it, just as the 1st poster in this thread stated he felt bad about something.

I\'m not slandering 99.99 percent of this board, I simply find it odd and feel bad :P
31 Jul 2002, 03:42 PM

Korian: I've been visible for a few weeks now. It's not based upon drama occuring on the boards. I am afraid you're reading a bit too much into this. To play devil's advocate, all the ppl that have registered here aren't necessarily all suspect to creating multiple accounts (short of those times accounts were made for "entertainment" purposes.

I discussed this awhile ago, because it seemed to become something of a trend. But now, I just don't care. As long as everyone can mutually have respect for each other, or at least try to co-exist on the board and enjoy their time here, that's all that matters to me.

This discussion is going to take an interesting spin (possibly for the worst).
31 Jul 2002, 03:58 PM

No problem here Bahn. I guess I'm thinking too much about past events.
