Cybering in the chatroom

[Capnmad]

So, that reasoning excuses plain-as-day insults and defamations of character?

There is no excuse. I mentioned, however, my sense of a baseline with him, hence my learned tolerance.

I thought you were leaving, kiddo?

Somehow, "kiddo" doesn't strike me as a term of endearment but a means of belittlement. What excuses your use of insult, Viper? I don't see Leo provoking you. Your comment was unnecessary.

Let's try to keep to the topic and away from personal attacks and annoyances, okay?

And we wonder why newbies feel unwanted...

 

[ViperGTS]

It's sooooooooooo easy to say things behind the safety of a computer keyboard 🙄

ooooooh rofl. It's so very true.

Behind a keyboard:
Face to Face:

 

[Headsnap]

Look at this way, Headsnap....if this were not an internet group, but an actual group of people sitting around having a good time....would you say the things you're saying face to face to the people in attendance?

It's sooooooooooo easy to say things behind the safety of a computer keyboard 🙄

No, if we were all face to face I wouldn't say anything. I'd probably just start slapping people.

This little article has run it's course; the upshot is I'm going to start muting people when they cyber. If you want to flame me or make me an offer I can't refuse or send me transcripts of you cybering with folk so I can laugh at you then feel free to PM me. Cheers!

*cyber-leaves*

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. 🙄

The chatroom is going to be very quiet, though.

 

[tickledgirl]

No, if we were all face to face I wouldn't say anything. I'd probably just start slapping people.

You just slap anyone who annoys you? Are you posting this from a jail cell or a hospital bed?

 

[Excess]

No, if we were all face to face I wouldn't say anything. I'd probably just start slapping people.

Of course, then by all means, start slapping me. But keep in mind that, by doing so, you're throwing down the gautlet for us to throw down and me possibly beating you down in atleast 10 different ways. 😛

Oh yeah??! Well my dad can beat up your dad!

 

[ObservingEgo]

Majority of the guys in the chatroom are harmless, so there wouldn't be much violence going on if this happened in a public setting. Many people who hang out in the chatroom are just plain boring and uptight also, so they wouldn't get much action in a public setting. My best guess is maybe a few people who chat in that chatroom would actually chat with each other in a public setting.

Just admit that you're sexually frustrated and seeing the cybering annoys you because you aren't the one participating in it. Then realize the people who are cybering are retarded and laugh at yourself for letting it get to you!! Get off the computer and get outside where you can really experience that pleasure you don't allow yourself to experience.

You're basically becoming jealous by observing retards type back and forth to each other, dude. Imagine what those people really are like. Two objects sending meaningless font back and forth to each other.

Not all cybering is retarded or done by retards, though. Nor is it all meaningless. There is great cybering that happens (the kind that you really should be jealous of)... but, you don't get to witness that kind because it's done in private. And because I was banned from the chatroom.

 

[Capnmad]

Ah. So those who engage in cyber are "sexually repressed dorks", and "cybersex fuckwits", and those who don't like it are "jealous" and "sexually frustrated"...

So glad to see this conversation evolve. Evolution doesn't suggest ascent, does it? I'm half of the mind to spoof Darwin with a book called "The Descent of Communication" (double entendre intended), and base it on this place.

Thankfully, I'm part of the faction that couldn't care one way or another how other people spend their time, but am amused by the probability that projection is being demonstrated frequently among those who do.

Egads. Can't we stick to a topic without the insults, folks? Seriously.

You don't like the public cybering? Ignore. Not enough conversation left without it? Unignore, approach someone with half a brain for personal conversation or go someplace else.

Like cybering? Fine. Let your better sense guide you to the appropriate time, place and person for it.

In all things, be considerate of others, folks. It's not just you here.

You know, I was eating a local diner tonight and in the midst of enjoying my Hot turkey platter with soup or salad and my choice of two sides, an enormous lady began bellowing at a teen-aged couple at a neighboring table. Apparently, the boyfriend had the gall to reach out and touch his girlfriend's hair. Not stroke, fondle, or molest...but...touch.

The copious diner cursed everyone in sight and vowed to never return to a place that allowed such conduct.

My thoughts? Do they make meds for people who massively over-react?

-Maestro

P.S. Does anyone see the parallel? Anyone?

 

[drew70]

People who insult other people are stupid, ugly, and they smell bad.
People who call other people names are idiots, assholes, and dipshits.

 

[ViperGTS]

ROFL. Now this amuses me.

Did anyone say anything in the couple's defense?

I do so love to watch my threads evolve, and to watch people continue to argue with me even after I have declared myself 'out'. My favourite part was when ObservingEgo prepared a psychological profile of me which, given the fact it's based on 30 or so lines of text he read upon this here forums, probably says more about the lad himself than it does about me.

Also I don't slap everyone who annoys me. I'm not some sort of psychopath. Usually I just murder their families.

Egads. Can't we stick to a topic without the insults, folks? Seriously.

I would refer you to something you said earlier in the topic but I can't be arsed to scroll down. The gist was "some can, some can't". A lot of people are in the second camp, however unlike me they lack the sophistication, erudition and sapience to realise that they're in said camp and thus go round insulting people whilst simultaneously trying to claim the moral high-ground. Then you've got folk like tickledgirl and/or ViperGTS who basically just appear to hijack people's threads. If you want to call me out on some half-arsed comment I made about how willing I am to resort to physical violence, for whatever reason, be it because you find such claims childish and/or barbarous OR you're a 21-year old pissant who is built like a wet noodle who is projecting his own foppishness when it comes to fisticuffs onto me, then feel free to PM me. There's no need to get all silly and start spamming up a perfectly good thread with that sort of childish nonsense, as you have just forced me to do.

God I feel dirty now.

In all things, be considerate of others, folks. It's not just you here.

Do I have to? 🙁

 

[tickledgirl]

Headsnap: So we should not reply to your half-arsed comments? In the future maybe you should give us a list of real comments we have your approval to reply to?

Y'know, for someone who delights in ignoring common standards of behavior, you've got a very strict set of standards you expect others to uphold.

In the words of "The Man In Black" (aka Dread Pirate Roberts aka Farmboy aka Wesley): "Get used to disappointment." 🙂

People who insult other people are stupid, ugly, and they smell bad.
People who call other people names are idiots, assholes, and dipshits.

And their mothers dress them funny!

You appear to have missed the point, thus validating my previous assertion vis-a-vis your lack of sophistication, erudition and sapience. Please allow me to elucidate.

Reply to anything I say in any fashion you want. Please do! I always like hearing from fans. Just steer clear of the off-topic one-liners (especially if they're a bit crap). I realise that the mere sight of my name often compels people to dribble meaningless nonsense in my direction for various reasons, but if you must do so then do so via PM, and stop hijacking my threads you sassy minx!

Hi, I don't have standards; those are the forums standards, sir! I have received several PMs from "Teh Manag3mentz" regarding my own use of one-line off-topic bollocks in other threads. Really I'm just doing my bit for T3h Commun1ty and looking out for you lot; wouldn't want any of you to get banned for breaking forum rules now would we?

Anyway, back on topic: Cybering in the chatroom appears to have hit an all-time low since I posted this threath, and that's without me having to mute people, once again proving that boundless insults and vitriol are the way to get what you want on the internet. Say what you want about me, my thread has worked. YHBT! 😀

Sassy minx! Why thank you. That's almost enough of a compliment to make me forget that you're still trying to tell me which comments of yours I'm allows to reply to. Oops, that should be post replies to, right? You're magnanimous enough to allow me more discretion via PM.

Hi, I don't have standards; (TG: So I've noticed. 😛) those are the forums standards, sir! (TG: Sir?! Okay, I retract my thanks for that "sassy minx" bit. "Sir" indeed! That's enough to give me flashbacks about being a "TMF Master") I have received several PMs from "Teh Manag3mentz" regarding my own use of one-line off-topic bollocks in other threads. Really I'm just doing my bit for T3h Commun1ty and looking out for you lot; wouldn't want any of you to get banned for breaking forum rules now would we?

Gosh what would I do without you to look out for me? I suppose I'd have to rely on the mods...

YHBT? Sorry, my 1337 skilz seem to be lacking. Translation please?

*tickles Headsnap's ribs, then runs and hides behind the pillory conveniently placed in the corner* 😛

 

[Iluv2Btickled]

I guess the chat room hasnt changed much...hence me no longer visiting.

 

[tickledgirl]

Yeah, apparently, the pro-cyber crowd has taken over, and is running rampant. LOL. It's too silly to get annoyed at. So, I won't be hanging in there until things calm down again. But, as lame as I find most cybering to be, the thought of a bunch of needy lackwits getting the best of headsnap by virtue of sheer numbers is pretty damned funny.

Yes indeed! We needy lackwits are a force to be reckoned with. 🙂

 

[Capnmad]

Well, one must do something with their Sundays, eh?

"Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)"
--"Uncle" Walt Whitman

That said, I suppose my tolerance for insult was hit somewhat later than others (partly given my different perspective on your means of expression), roundabout the time when people started firing back -- not that they shouldn't feel entitled, but we all know what happens thenceforth, and would watch the downward spiral and thread-death in short order.

Do I have to? 🙁

Technically, you don't have to do anything except stay limey and die, but it might be nice... I suspect that being the case, however, you might rebuke such requests. Then again, you could always be unpredictable and surprise us.

Here's to free will. 🙂

 

[Knox The Hatter]

Headsnap Rocks!

 

[tickledgirl]

Technically, you don't have to do anything except stay limey and die, but it might be nice...

It'd be nice if Headsnap died?? For shame!!

(Okay, I know that's not what you meant. Something about this thread brings out the trouble maker in me.)

 

[Mistress Aura]

Headsnap Rocks!

So Does The Cap'n!!!

(I do so admire the calm voice of reason sometimes, just as much as the caustic humour of our Snapper... 😀 )


Mistress Aura

 

[Knox The Hatter]

Yes, I agree. Capnmad knows it, too.

 

[Capnmad]

(Okay, I know that's not what you meant. Something about this thread brings out the trouble maker in me.)

I had a feeling someone would try to call me on my awkward phrasing there... *shoots TG the "skunk-eye"* You silly goose! 😛

Headsnap Rocks!

So Does The Cap'n!!!

Yes, I agree. Capnmad knows it, too.

Okay, now wait... Just a bit ago, there were insults flying back and forth, Headsnap was about to murder his next family... This was a thread teetering on the precipice of possible flame-war and probable self-annihilation there to follow...

...and now some sort of spontaneous Love-Fest has broken out?!

What the Hell's wrong with you people?!!

Are you trying to rob Headsnap of his innate ability to get folks all riled up? Are you trying to put me out of the "voice of reason" business?! Because I'll tell you -- if everyone here on the Forum starts acting nice and reasonable and starts patting each other on the back, that's exactly what'll happen!!! I'll have you know, any surge in kindness and reason lowers my market value!

Keep on like this, and soon, the likelihood of threads being cancelled due to offense will plummet! You'll have to go searching to find insults and acrimony! You'll turn this whole place upside-down!! It will be A WORLD GONE MAD!!!

Now please, for the love of Pete and job security, somebody throw something heavy, spiky and slime-covered at someone else!! C'mon, now... STEP UP! Curse a blue streak a mile long about someone else's mother!!! I know it's in you!

PLEASE!!! YOU CAN'T LET THIS THREAD CAN'T END LIKE THIS!!!





LOL! In all seriousness, you all rock, too!!! 😀 😉

 

[Headsnap]

I don't make the rules, sir! I just abide by them! Like I said, I'm not trying to tell you anything; shit posted on the forums is open season for reply, what I'm saying is if you want to criticise the way I say things rather than what I'm saying or some remark I made within a post, and you want to do it via off-topic one-liner, then either a) do it via PM like a regular human being, b) shut up or c) make it a funny/ concise/ not shit one-liner.

Gosh what would I do without you to look out for me? I suppose I'd have to rely on the mods...

Exactly my point, sir!

YHBT? Sorry, my 1337 skilz seem to be lacking. Translation please?

ORLY?

Now please, for the love of Pete and job security, somebody throw something heavy, spiky and slime-covered at someone else!! C'mon, now... STEP UP! Curse a blue streak a mile long about someone else's mother!!! I know it's in you!

Previous instances in which I professed not to dislike you were fraudulent, sir! FRAUDULENT!! Also you smell of poo

Now you go.
