STOP ATTACKING OP's!!! NOW!

sympha01

I'm starting to get angry with the level of disrespect floating around on these message boards. I see posts and people go about making snide and rude remarks about the original poster and I thinks its very immature. There is always a way to have an opinion and not be rude or "throw shade" on the person who started the thread. Internet bullying is real, and all those insecure people who want to attack OP's need to seriously be checked on their dirty behavior. Please be respectful to everyone, even if you disagree with them. Period. If you can't do that then you need help.

You're right OP! Much classier, not to mention more RESPECTFUL, to post attacks about people who you assume aren't actually here to defend themselves.

Hating requires an underlying feeling of jealousy. I'm not really seeing or reading anything to be jealous of.

So...

I want to take this as a perfect example of someone disagreeing with me but doing so in a RESPECTFUL manner. He disagrees but he doesn't have to belittle me, the OP in the process. Kudos. SOMEONE is an adult here

Um...they implied that there is nothing you provide being worth jealousy: ie you posess nothing or provide nothing of value. That is pretry much the definition of belittlement.

I wouldn't recommend holding up that particular post as an example of disagreement without insult.

... and you had to ruin it for everyone.

It's the way that the post was written I suppose, it was written without having to call names, take cheap shots, or just be evil. If its his opinion that I have nothing to be jealous of, then he has a right to that opinion. I'm talking more so about bullying in a different sense I guess. Grr it's hard to communicate this late at night. I'm sleepy!

Its a good thing you're pretty OP. :flowerforyou:

I just read a post and YOU called someone LAMO and sent a insulting picture. Practice what you preach jerk.!

Except, y'know, sometimes the OP's are WRONG (i.e. need correction). In that case it's good to correct the error and it can HELP them by giving them information. We have freedom of speech. We don't have to shut up if we disagree. Or the OP may be trolling. And yeah, it's immature to be a jerk. But it's also immature to troll. Goes both ways.

And those threads can be fun to read.

Lol it is fun to read.......... all fun and games until your own thread gets attacked...... and then its just like.......... hey hey I'm a nice person don't attack me rawr! meh! hehe

Oddly enough this never happens in my threads.

Wonder why that is

Probably because youre way cooler than me They always want to pick on the little guy.

I was going to say because I generally don't say silly things and don't Percival people who disagree with me as picking on me.

Lies. You Percival the hell out of people.

Only difference is that on MFP and the internet in general is that he or she who is doing the hating doesn't shut the f up.......because they have the comfort of hiding behind their keyboards. Who is insecure now?!

LOL I will be kind...but...I don't think that the person you referred to earlier (you know...the WWJD) would have said...according to what I have read..."shut the f up"!

Here...I have a couple of extra life vests!

One of the things that I had to learn upon using discussion boards on the internet...not to become what I detest...and my all time favorite quote...

Whoever battles with monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche

I have had that happen more than once...I can't help myself at times.

You misunderstood the rules! The OP is exempt from ANY negative feedback. They can be negative and demeaning, but treating them the same is NOT what Jesus would do.

It would help if there was a handbook or something.

Did you expect this post to go well?

9 times out of 10, op is not getting "attacked," but are receiving feedback they don't like. Which, in turn, leads to butt hurt.

Wow. It was the definition of name calling. It was just done with more than one or two words and was quite funny on its own but your reaction after has officially caused this thread to reach gold level awesome.

I'm going to go with this one:



It's what I'm choosing to believe that you meant.

QueenBishOTUniverse

OP, I like you. You're a little young, a little opinionated, and not really experienced with these forums yet so I'm going to try and actually help out a little bit rather than doing what I normally do on these threads which is gif bomb. You have unfortunately just committed THE cardinal sin of MFP. You have created what is known as a "mean people thread". This thread is very likely to go down in EPIC flames.

Very little of what happens on these forums is genuine meanness. Some of it is spirited debate, even heated disagreement. Some of it is troll baiting (I'm referencing the "beautiful" thread on that one), occasionally it's even people who know each-other poking fun and making a bunch of inside jokes that everyone else thinks is mean but it's really not. But 99% of the time, if you see someone being outright mean, that person is either a troll themselves, or has very good reason to believe the OP is a troll that is intentionally trying to start conflict and is responding in kind.

Or it's an OP throwing a fit because they didn't get the advice they were hoping for.......

Calm down, stick around long enough, and you'll learn to tell the difference. Now this old person is going to stop the condescending lecture and sit back to enjoy the gifs.

I think there are a lot of people on here that respond inappropriately to people's questions or concerns. It's one thing to give someone advice or an opinion. It's another thing to give advice with a condescending flair. I see that A LOT on here, usually from people that make it really really obvious (at least to the veteran forum user) they're trying to see if they can get a rise out of the OP. And, once they do, the OP's original concern becomes moot...

For example, saw a guy tell someone to "Be a big girl and make grown up choices" in response to her cry for help/advice. Seriously, you could have said the exact same thing but phrased it appropriately.

In any case, people's responses don't bother me simply because my job revolves around these kinds of things and I see it. Every. Day.
But for new people, shy, timid or scared people that feel they can more openly ask for help online....To be shut down like that? It's just not cool.
