[Locked] Assholes on the Internet

Tho you can argue with skill you tend to argue with people way too much and for too long of a time. It's been happening a lot more recently tho. I think you take most of them as a challenge or maybe you are just putting your opinion out but eventually from what I've seen the same things being to repeat and it's starts getting a little childish. This is just my opinion tho so take it as you see it.

I think these types of threads just encourage rage and arguments. Not that I hate a little arguments here and there, in fact I like to be involved in some, but after so many you just start to sigh and say, "Well, here it goes again..." I don't think bringing attention on these "assholes" are going to do anything to help the situation.

As or the birthday thread situation, the people created the situation for themselves. I have to agree with Waar that a small comment such as his should not have been taken as an insult and blown out of proportion. This does not mean that I agree with how Waar dealt with the situation afterwards, but that's my take on it. Also, for those of you who haven't known Waar long enough, he does make good arguments most of the times, he may be disagreeable, he and I've had disagreements in the past, but people get over it. So in this situation, I think we should just let it go.

That's thinking with yer dipstick jimmy!

While we are on the topic of Waar, here is my utmost honest impression of him:

He speaks the truth most of the time, although he can be very harsh when doing so. Also, When the argument drags on, i believe he finds the "thrill of the hunt" within an argument and enjoys pointing out the weaknesses of your arguments, which can get annoying for those who are at the receiving end. I noticed that sometimes, he may get bored and try to incite an argument but I believe alot of people do that too, its just that combined with his abilities with arguing, its quite an intimidating combo.

Overall, id label him a harsh critic or maybe an elitist, and not an "asshole". I personally respect the ability to sincerely point out a person's flaws without fear of retaliation.

There is a metaphor that goes "Do not Judge a book by its cover". This goes really very well with Waar's posts, do not judge his post by what it sounds like in surface value. If you just remove the harsh tones of his post and just read the meaning behind it all, you will realize that he has pointed out your flaws rather accurately.

Criticism is one of the most important things to accept if you want to either improve yourself, or succeed in something and I actually appreciate his posts.

Of course, I am not siding for anyone for this matter, I am just posting my honest feelings about this. I neither favor/dislike anyone.

Also, this post isnt just about Waar, its about a few others too. Whom I respect, though they may be harsh and misunderstood.

That's cute and all, but it's teh internet.


Sad, but true.

Just to clarify; I'll only rip into someone when I feel they truly deserve it.

=X internet or not, metaphors work hollistically. I believe it applies very well over here as well. People tend to forget simple metaphors and well, chaos ensues.

I just realized what the fuck this thread is about...

Waar, you're the worst! You rascal. :wink:

I've been sick for a week and this is the shit I come back to? Not surprising really. Why should I expect Waar not to try and prove his "manlyness" by picking on a girl when his brain (me) is gone and all he has left to think with is his dick? I'm seriously disappointing in TMS, not only did he decide to go be Waar Jr. he didn't even say anything amusing. I mean, I understand that Zo really deserved being insulted what with having people tell her happy birthday, trying to be polite, and then ignoring a stream of pathetic non-factually based insulting commentary. So don't go thinking I'm "taking her side" like you like to claim I do Waar, I'm just trying to help you as a friend by pointing out that you're really pushing the limits of where being an asshole makes you look "cool" over into the territory of making you look like you can't control what you say or when you say it.

Also....what the fuck did I do to lose 5 rep? I wasn't even here. This is all going so downhill that I might just stop visiting the forums at all.

Proving one's point can give sooo much ecstasy. Especially when you have a good stand point and the opposition isn't really a friend. However there should be limits. Even though this is only the internet most people stay online more than they stay offline so bashing them here really won't be too nice. Anyway, debating is different from totally insulting at all. Waar I think I can agree that some of your earlier posts can be considered as "debating" or "arguing with great skill" yes whatever you want to call it but please do see that sometimes it's close to impossible not to misunderstand your posts especially when you try to sound like a narcist(i never figured the correct spelling sorry).

...Now at TMS... you... how dare you say the word "deserves" when the only thing you did was insult somebody and never really gave out good stand points. You're an eyesore... really you are...

then what's with your sig Waar?

I have to agree. In reality there's fun in arguing with people especially if someone has already experienced victory in such topics. There's a fine line however between simply arguing and insulting. It's true that sometimes people just won't realize that they've already crossed the line. I understand that sometimes it's for the luls, but recently exchanges tend to become personal.

About Waar, though I don't agree with some of your current actions I do see your point. You're transparent and say what's in your mind and that's not really bad. You have good points and know how to enter a conversation well. You're good in handling debates I'll give you that. However I don't understand what credit you'll receive for your posts in Ziggy's thread. It doesn't really add merit so why dis her?

About TMS... people call you a waar jr. Sadly they don't realize that compared to him. You're a total suck up and a failure of a human. Calling you a waar jr is an insult to waar. I'd say you're a total jerk... but that would be an insult to jerks...

Damn, I knew I'd miss something fun while I was on hiatus.

I hate internet assholes. But assholes you have to with in real life are worse. When some random antagonizer on some website is spewing his/her shit you can ignore it. Eventually you condition yourself to avoid reading most of the things they've posted.
But when you have to work with assholes, or even worse, work for assholes then you've got no choice but to deal with them.
Internet assholes are like Freddy Krueger; the less you believe that they exist, the weaker they are against you.
:lol:

I appreciate that some of you are looking at what I've said in the past and have better than shit opinions of me. I do however feel that most of you misunderstood the posts made in her birthday thread. I started by asking her if she was seeing friends (with polite disclaimer informing people it was not meant as an insult) which was misinterpreted instantly; I then told her to stop being emotional, it only served to make her look bad (as it does in general on the internet) which had a snowball effect. I think TMS posting what he did seemed to hurt me, grouping his comments with mine. Not that I care at this point but calling someone dumb and telling someone to act less rashly and emotional are two different things.

I make no pretense of liking Ziggy, but it does not mean I cant act civil towards her. I also can't help but be naturally drawn to someone who takes things sooo seriously; there are a few others who get angry easily and therefore are much more fun to play with.

I have some form of respect for most users, most of you have chosen to stay with this community and provide something of value to it but the one piece of criticism I must give the majority of fakku members: you don't always think before you post a thread. You should ask yourself if a thread you're about to post makes sense, follows the rules, is in the right section, is flammable (if you wish to avoid flames) and if it says EXACTLY what you want it to say. Otherwise it gives people like me the opportunity to turn it into something completely different: failpost.

@ramsus: it seems you have forgotten who I am and how I post, feel free to msn me at some point tomorrow, or don't... whatev.

I’m relatively new to the fakku forums, so I don’t know either you or ziggy particularly well. However, generally I find your posts to be mostly entertaining – and sometimes deserved. But the posts in ziggy’s birthday thread were neither.

You and I both know that asking her about her friends was borderline at best – that you even needed a disclaimer is evidence enough. But I will agree that, for the most part, you started out just fine. However, you allowed the situation to escalate, and even intentionally helped it along. You only pretend as though you told her to “stop being emotional” as heartfelt advice – almost all of your replies had a distinct tone of arrogance. Your first post may have been innocent, but everything afterwards was an attempt to bait her. You also comment on the “snowball” effect as though it was an afterthought, but I highly doubt it was unintentional.

When it comes down to it though, none of that is why people are pissed at you. People think you are out of line because you didn’t have the presence of mind to keep your mouth shut on someone’s birthday. If you want to flex your ego or belittle people, whatever – but don’t fucking do it on their birthday. You hijacked a rare thread that was pure and chaste, and you turned it into a pile of shit.

On a different but related topic, TMS came out of that whole thing looking extremely stupid. You are right about that at least, I think he did much more to hurt your case than help you. In fact a lot of the hate directed at you would probably be more appropriate if directed at him. While you might have been out of line, all of your posts at least had substance. His attempts at trolling lacked any sort of tact. It is slightly ironic, because he is exactly the sort of poster you always seem to rant about – doesn’t think before he posts, doesn’t make any points, and generally doesn’t contribute to the thread at all.

I told myself I wasn't going to post in this thread, but I think I just want to clarify something a little. Since everything was so pure and innocent.

06:58:40<waar> and then add "haha you have no friends"
06:58:48<waar> unless you have a more epic idea
06:58:56<TehMikuruSlave> poasted
06:59:10<TehMikuruSlave> Oh, Ziggy, bitching on the internet makes you look fat and stupid. Oh wait, that's just you. <--Up to standards?

07:52:44<TehMikuruSlave> Also, now I'm acting like waar is innocent 07:52:50<TehMikuruSlave> and calling them all bullies

That's from the IRC. I just wanted to point something out. To make sure anyone didn't have any misunderstandings of what happened.

Waar is this true? Did you actually PLAN to ruin her thread and insult her? After all that talk about misunderstandings and true intentions with no ill will... How are we supposed to really interpret this other than a collaboration against a lady?

Is TehMikuruSlave Waar's fuckin socket-monkey or something?

I heard he was his personal Shota slave... or something like that...
