    Sometimes stupidity just needs to be cleansed with fire. It's sad, but a true fact of the internets.

    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

    I agree OP! Unfortunately, the Internet gives otherwise wussy cowards a set of virtual cojones so they poke at people without fear of reprise. You know in real life people would never say some of the things they do to a flesh and blood person that is standing right in front of them.

    In real life I'd probably say something worse.

    Same here. Or "better," as I would call it.

    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.

    "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" ~Eleanor Roosevelt.

    While I'm a big fan of generally being a nice person, I'm a big fan of personal accountability, too. I've had my a*s handed to me on here - and I deserved it at the time. I have no problem doing the a*s handing when I feel it's needed. Generally, when threads get ugly it's because the OP gets offended and starts lashing out (in random and weird ways) and then things generally fall apart.

    Mean comments are not internet bullying, by the way.

    Also, if I'm not respectful to someone, it's generally because they've not earned it or have proven they don't deserve it. That doesn't mean I "need help" - it means they are experiencing a natural consequence to their actions.

    Just because you pretend to be someone different online doesn't mean the rest of us do.

    Not being funny but the site is meant to be used by people over the age of 18. Therefore classed as "adults" who are supposedly able and equipped to deal with somebody having a difference of opinion from them.

    In a perfect world lol, in a perfect world. It is sad though....... I heard a rumor that adults are just like children in fully developed bodies haha, it may be true ...when I look at reality shows, most of the people fight like highschoolers......... and these people haven't been in high school since at least the 80's. Its sad.

    You do know that reality shows are in no way a reflection of real life, I hope.

    I'VE FOUND THAT IF I WANT SOMEONE TO SEE SOMETHING MY WAY, CAPS LOCK IS THE WAY TO DO IT.

    Gee thanks, OP. You will DEFINITELY change the internet with that little soapbox speech. :huh: Get over yourself.

    You need to get off your high horse and get over yourself. You are very arrogant without proper justification.

    Actually, it has happened to me, and I just shrug my shoulders. Life is too short to worry about losers, and I figure the people I care about won't act like idiots. (Plus everyone on the internet is a faceless stranger. You can't take anything a faceless stranger says to much to heart. :D) Theoretically, everyone here is over 18 and should be able to deal with any negative feedback from people who think they're funny.
