Cleaning Up Our Collective Act

[vaire100]

See a doctor if the internet bothers you.

Its not apathy on our part -- its obession on yours. Like I said, ignore it or you will probably see a psychiatrist when life becomes unlivable for you.

There is science behind this view, not merely anecdotal observation.

Yeah I guess I can kinda maybe sorta understand being upset when someone says something offensive but what was posted here last night and this morning seemed to take that a bit too far lol.

Attention vaire and all others who are still progressing (you can do it!) along the path to adult literacy:

For the most part the R&F is unmoderated. That doesn't mean that you can use racial, sexual, homophobic, ageist, religious, political, ethnic, or other epithets (such as against people with disabilities).

It just means you have a place that you can bicker with one another and not clog up the main forum.

"but omg wtf i have science GMs n there stupd rules need doctorz" is something you can take up with one of the above.

I appreciate your obession. Try smoking some weed though.




Owning Truth

We all periodically have such confidence in what we are saying that statements such as "I'm sure of it" or "The fact of the matter is..." play a natural part of our everyday vocabulary.

For persons with OCPD, facts and confidence are all too often turned into "I'm RIGHT and your WRONG."

"The way I see it represents the way it is, end of story".

For others, refusing to yield to the "correct perspective" often entails encountering tension and discord.

This manifestation of OCPD entails one's adamantly guarding his dogmatic beliefs to such a degree that casual conversation often converts minor disagreements into heated debates.

The relative importance of any topic (i.e. comparing the effects of regular gas vs. high test on a particular car's performance) rarely is of consequence in determining the degree of the intensity expressed in the midst of the debate.


Perhaps there are a few variables on this planet, which are beyond debate in their apparent universal truthfulness. "Humans are a living organism when there is a heart beat and/or brain activity" or "Rocks eventually tend to drop in a downward direction when released into the air."

For the person who experiences OCPD, abstract ideals and moral standards become rigidly held truths.






sounding more familar yet....

I'm only breaking your balls.

You should contact Rogean or another admin type, and express your interest in becoming a volunteer moderator, because you were familiar with this BB software and cared about the community, etc....

Everyone knows the world is fucked up so save your breath, is my point. Actually think about what you can personally do besides acting like you're the only person to realize this. That sounds more like depression and its serious. Whatever!

Much insight in that post.
And I have seen alot of the above mentioned scenarios taking place in pretty much ever single thread that has ever been posted here so far.
Gonna use something from there in my signature, dunno what line yet as they are all good.

Stand back! I'm going to use science! <magic happens>

Let's go back to implied insults to get things fired back up! We have someone insinuating we have some barely literate folks in the audience, so I'll take the crybaby insults!

Anyway. While I have a hard time being offended by anything said on the internets I guess that some people have a very thin skin and a bit of the "world revolves around me" view of reality and thus can take offense to anything said whether it be directed their way or not... I get it, feelings get hurt for all sorts of reasons. I guess I am just baffled how these people survive walking outside the door to their house, how they watch TV, read the news paper, or interact with anyone or anything in the outside world. How do they make friends? How do they make it through each day without simply cutting their wrists from all the bleeding feelings?!

I work with a pretty diverse group, at least in terms of race/religion/creed/nationality/political views, etc... Yet I could count over 9000 things that get said or done per day that would leave anyone so sensitive as to be offended by the things aid on this forum in tears... And this is easily the most TAME place I have worked in terms of bigotry in the work place...

So yeah. QQ more nubs!!!

I am better than you because I'm rubber you're glue anything people say that could be construed as offensive by someone somewhere in the world bounces off me and ricochets to stick to you!!

LOL I left for, what? 2 days?

I missed this gem of crybaby bullshit?

[L2Phantom]

I do find it sad how this server's community is worse than that of WoW. It's pretty disgusting. That's one aspect of this server that will never be entirely classic.

[jilena]

Dude I don't know what classic you played lol. This shit is beyond tame compared to what was found in OOC in Sebilis on any given day on the Nameless. Not to mention any guild in any MMO I have ever played that was capable of accomplishing anything was full of racism, sexism, and disturbing humor... The first time I clicked through /b/ was like coming home to EQ classic.
