Losing Face, Losing Voice.

Well, there's been some Drama going around because of the Grow Up. thread. However, Sindalf, in IRC has noted some obvious facts, that I'm sure most of the users have noticed.
When you read something in text, it's difficult to decide what tone/mood that user is writing in. This can lead to a lot of misunderstandings throughout the user base.
I'm sure it would help if users took the time to think thoroughly about their response. There's no point in having a misunderstanding that could even lead to the loss of a certain user, which really, no one wants. Everyone here has their own opinion, and everyone here will(If they stay long enough.) have their own little ideals or settings their known for.
To the newer users: You may not be accepted or recognized by the older members, people with status', or even other new members. But that doesn't mean that you can't find friendly people, willing to hear out your opinion, or have a conversation with you.
To the older members: Your status isn't everything. Just because Ramsus, TMS and a few others are the people I know, and, for the most part, get along with the best out of the forums user base doesn't mean I only pay attention to them. Every single user on here is a person in their own right. Older members shouldn't look down on them because they don't contribute as much or they have their own Niche.
It's hard to tell if you're going to upset someone when you make a topic/post about something relevant. If a user does call you out for something that they don't think shouldn't have been said, explain to them why you said it, and they'll have to decide whether or not they accept it. Vice versa, if you find something upsetting, ask for an explanation, and even if you can't come to the acceptance of what a user has said, don't continue to point out problems/argue with that person, it's not going to make your e-peen any bigger.

Your resistance only serves to make my penis harder.
I say When in Rome, Do as the Romans do.
just kinda walk right in, sit right down, and let your hair hang down.
Find yourself to settle in whether that be IRC, Chatroll, or just on the forums.

Like I said, everyone can find their own group. Just, in different words.

Used to do stuff
Voice is the only way imo to get the true feelings of a person. To me its good to at least spend a night talking to someone to get a feel a for a person and their attitude and voice. Would change the way you think about their posts.

right, Ramsus is correct.
so I'll stop with pathetic search topics and misunderstanding, after all i only came here to meet people and make friends who shared the same interest that i do.
hope i can be friends with most of you.
and have a good night

I admit, I do over react because of what people say but because I have talked to most of the "popular users" vocally, I know how they talk and assume that they type the same way.
Doesn't matter now. I have decided to isolate myself because of these recent topics. Thank you Pyre for this post.

I tend to over-react to drama. But i think most of you already know that.

I really don't usually get into e-drama so I don't really have an opinion on the matter.
