People it has come to my attention that some rudeness has come to our close knit community and I am not going to mention any names.You know if you were rude or not.You are all old enough to know if you did something rude,I don't need to be your mother or nanny and tell you.If you think you did something rude to somebody or several people then post with the words I'm sorry and you can say to who and why or just say I'm sorry if you think you may have done something to one or more people but don't know or don't want to say who it was and what you did.I'll start:

I am sorry if I ever hurt somebody on here or did or said anything I shouldn't have.
 
Well, I don't think that I've ever been unjustly rude to anyone here. I try to deal squarely with everyone. However, if I have inadvertently ever offended anyone I am sorry as well.
 
i'm not sorry if i offended anyone

get better emotions plz

teehee!
 
I've always been this way. I just go between less rude and more rude. I'm in my more rude period. I've been around for long enough so someone would have said something before now. So YEAH! I AM WHO I AM! Now excuse me, I have to go taunt some poor midgets with food by offering it to them and then putting it on top of the fridge. Because I'm as mean as I am rude. YEAH!
 
oriyaborealis and Excess you ought to be more considerate of other people's feelings and learn some manners.

Aww! Don't sweat `em any, QueenBeeBeeMari. I don't think they posted with trollish intent. Just playing with the theme abit.

I apologize if this in any way sounds condescending or unthoughtful.
 
I can't say I'm really sorry for any time I've been rude online. I've got my own thoughts, feelings, frustrations, and moods. If someone pisses me off or acts like an idiot, I reserve the right to be as rude to them as I would be IRL. It's a wonderful way to blow off steam on teh intarnets.
 
Eh. Rude's for prudes. These days, we kill `em with kindness. 😉
 
I just don't understand why some people don't care any about how others feel.I was raised to have manners and treat others with respect and do anything to help them.

Simple answer: different experiences. People can have so many different experiences in their lives and it generally is the reason people are the way they are, regardless of 'how they were raised'.

The problem with being raised in any way is that it's having you in a place where you primarily have a select few people to 'feed' off of. By feed I mean take in mannerisms, beliefs, and ideas of what people are like. But once you become separated more from them, as you grow older, you may see things differently from what you were shown for so long. How this effects them depends on the individual and how such things relate to what they've grown to be more familiar with.
 
Not even for Santa?!? :ggrin:

Santa gets carte blanc to act however he wants. After all... he's got your freaking presents in his farkin' bag, MAN!

Personally, I don't understand why some people act completely milquetoast all the time. Sometimes being polite just doesn't matter. A curt response may simply be more appropriate. And if someone has angered you, or sent large amounts of fail your way, they don't really deserve it. The problem isn't that "ohhh nooo people aren't nice". The problem is that we have these little things called emotions. We don't control them. So...

I'm sorry for actually expressing my emotions and not acting drugged 24/7. I apologize greatly for having the feelings of anger, jealousy, fear, annoyance, frustration and aggression. Please, please forgive me for being a human being and not an automaton put on the Earth to conform to your teenage worldviews.

I remember being 18 and thinking things like that. "Well, why can't people just always be nice?" Then before I knew it I was 20 and realized why people weren't nice anymore. I blinked and I was 23, wondering how I ever thought that. Now I'm 27, looking back and thinking "Jesus, I was a naive kid." Give it a few years, hon. Then you'll wonder how anybody ever said a nice thing to another human being.
 
Ahhhh the majesty that is cynicism... 😛 The way I see it is that if others want to be rude to me then fine, let them waste their energy doing something that may blow off steam but really accomplishes little in the grand scheme of things. (My P.O.V. of course) People I used to consider very rude I now consider just being cranky. (That's right everyone: the title of "cranky" is no longer reserved for the elderly!)

That being said, I do see some truth in the words of the cranky Romulan. 😛 I learned over time to take just about everything said with a grain of salt, both good and bad. It's also why I make 100% sure to surround myself with people who I like, know, trust, admire and respect so that grain of salt becomes smaller and smaller. In my view, on emotions, is that people rely too much on and abuse them too much nowadays. Something that is said can easily provoke a certain emotion but might actually mean or have a context that is substantially different: this is the reason for my grain of salt approach.

Anyways, since I've just maxed out my deep thought/philosophical brain matter for the month let's all look for Excess' Longchu! 😛
 
Meh, if I believe I was rude to someone without a reason, I apologize to them in person. Else, I'll obliterate them, since I won't be pushed around.

Manners are one thing. Being nice all the time and getting stepped on is another.

That said, I'm really hard to provoke... Usually, people who try to get my attention by annoyance aren't significant enough to me to even think of, let alone talk to.

I can partially agree here. The issue is regarding "might actually mean or have a context that is substantially different" is moot if the receiver feels flak.

Let's go to Communications 101. Sender encodes. Receiver decodes. Interference is anything that keeps the sender's thoughts from being decoded properly. Improper encoding counts as that. Let's use this for example. You are a fan of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple novels. I am a fan of her Poirot novels. I say...

"I like Poirot better than any of Christie's stupid characters."

Now, I may not actually mean that Miss Marple is a stupid character. In fact, my meaning is that Captain Hastings and Chief Inspector Japp are both dwiddling morons. However, you read this as me saying...

"MISS MARPLE SUCKS."

Then comes a flamewar so violent that we have to call out the cast of "Emergency!" to put it out and rescue all the other poor forum denizens from the burning wreck that is the thread.

In the end, a lot of it comes down to "People Being Wrong On The Internet". There's always going to be that special someone who has to be a douche and make the other person KNOW THAT (S)HE'S RIGHT!!! It can't be any other way.

My suggestion in all of this is that people just understand that we're not all the same. Each of us responds to things differently. Until you (You know who you are. I see you looking! Yeah, you!) figure that out, well...

hon whether you are eighteen or eighty eight..rudeness is intolerable to my way of thinking..now i've been a tad bitchy o yes i have..but usually it's to someone who has been hmmm how can i put this ....RUDE TO ME..lol...and then watch out...and lately well...i've lashed out for no reason...and if i've offended anyone..i apologize now...

life experiences shouldn't make one less polite..yes we are human..and me very much so..i believe it's possible to disagree with someone respectfully..i also believe for the most part that if someone has a problem with me, i expect that person to come to me privately..and not send someone else in their place..damn i so hate that..
 
If I'm brutally honest, I agree with JimJam Jimmy the James... except without the sarcasm.

There are situations where telling the truth is much more appropriate than telling a lie just to protect someones feelings. As a moderator, it's my duty to do what is "right" for the forum, rather than doing or saying something that would please the masses and protect there feelings.

I understand how you feel, and yes, apologising when it's appropriate (like lashing out at others for no reason what so ever) is the wise thing to do. But I won't apologise for times when I've been rude where I saw it was necessary. Like when I ban a user for multiple accounts of forum misconduct. Yes, it's mean to deprive a man from something they enjoy but it's the right thing to do.

That's my input anyway. ^^
 
Well there is a difference between being honest and being a jerk. I don't think that anyone really has an issue with forthright honesty. Brutal honesty is an option when being nice is more of a detriment. It's how one conducts themselves in general which I believe is the original intent of the thread.

I think that may be the crux of the confusion with this thread. It "seems" to be referring to some events, perhaps here on the board, perhaps, as FeatherDaemon said, just "in general".

I don't always get around to reading all of the treads here, so if there's been some rudeness in one that I missed, then I'll have missed the underlying premise of this thread.
 
I don't think I've been too rude to people lately. I have said sorry whenever my rudeness came about though. n.n
