Cleaning Up Our Collective Act

Hearts in the right place.

Buuuuut this is the internet.

I called out a buddy one day saying he was being a huge douche online and he's better than that.

He's still a douche online.

AKA I gave up and so should you =P

This.

While I agree (and probably the majority of the people on here) with what Hasbin is trying to convey,
This is the internet and nobody really gives a shit (or just act like they don't) what they say, because there are no real world consequences.
Trying to convince people that what they are saying on these forums is wrong will get you nowhere because they most likely already know it is wrong and just don't care.

I dunno man, I have talked to several people who have been pretty upset by the hate posted on these threads. Most of those people are also not outspoken enough to say anything about it, but they are genuinely upset at people being able to mock the rules at their expense.

Naw, I understand that.
I was talking about the people doing the hate posting (the ones who just don't give a shit what they say), not the people receiving.

Edit:
Although honestly, people shouldn't let anything said to them over a forum post get to them no matter how ignorant or out of line.
Why you may ask? Because the people spewing the shit our of their mouths are the ones who have something to be ashamed of.

Aha. Sorry.
Yeah, that's my point. There's no consequences for breaking the rules right now. These jackasses are laughing in the face of the GM posted rules at the expense of people who are experiencing the short end of the hate stick.

This is very true, and I've also had friends who are "normal in person", but completely "the opposite online"....which I could never understand.
