Venting will be allowed in this post. As long as we get it out in here only, it's good for the soul.
Just remember to be mature and read what you write before posting. The 'review post' feature helps immeasurably in the heat of the moment.
Since it's allowed...
If you have beef with anyone, don't bring it to the boards...there is PM and email and IM and whatever method of communication other than a messageboard...obviously if you can't do that even, something's gonna break loose, and people get involved whether it concerns them or not...
I'm a firm believer in 'Don't start shit', so whatever the situation is, if you light the fuse of a dynamite, don't expect it to not explode...
I dislike people who do this with the intent to cause problems...that's even worse, and not to admit to it or to walk away nonchalantly as if nothing was wrong, only to do it again....that is fucked up...
I also dislike anyone attacking innocent people...there's a difference in calling someone out if they have personally and intentionally aggrivated or offended you in some way, but when a person has done nothing, he or she is not at fault...
I don't condone continuing fights if you have the option to stop it...but let's face it, some people just need to be told...some tiptoe around it, some are direct...then again, we don't need to even be at this stage if shit does not get started...
Ignoring a person can be easy for people, but only depending on how long a person's tolerance is...I don't hate people who react to everything, just like I don't to people who have really tough skin...the fact that the matter is, don't test people...if you do, I hate you...(well, maybe not [img]wink.gif[/img] )
Thats really all I have to say...this all applies to me too...
If this is what I think it is about (Legeeta and EQ), all I noticed was that every time Legeeta made a post about anything, EQ would rip her apart.
That's harassment, and no way to be treated.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's a little too black and white in my opinion. The world is much more gray than that. "Innocence" is in the eye of the beholder, and what one sees as an "attack" another may see as merely expressing an opinion. I think everyone's personal experiences and maturity level (which is not necessarily tied to age) temper how they interpret what they read.Quote:

And even should a situation present itself where one feels "justified" in responding to something they perceive to be an attack, there's still a "right" way and a "wrong" way to do it (which is also in the eye of the beholder, of course). I'm not implying that a person is not entitled to defend themself if they feel it necessary, but that doesn't mean "anything goes" or that pejoratives and vulgarity are ever acceptable, in my opinion. There are such concepts as restraint and proportionality of response.
Personally, I have expressed opinions on this board about the content of posts, but I would never presume to be so bold as to judge someone "innocent" or "guilty". I also think it's very bold for anyone to think they can say someone has "done nothing wrong" unless they've lived every moment that person has, know every post they've made, know every email or PM they've sent, and know what's in their heart.
We should all (yes, including me) remember that there are at least 2 sides to every story.
I hate each and every one of you.
almost as much as I hate beer. [img]graemlins/kiss.gif[/img]
I know not to boldly label anyone as innocent or guilty, but when I put myself in that specific incident, I had a very good idea what was at hand...and I know for a fact that the person I was defending did absolutely nothing intentional to warrant 3 different attacks from the same person...that was what triggered me...
I'll elaborate it more another way...
fuck you all... in the goat ass [img]smile.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I am speaking in generalities, extrapolating from the incidents that appear to have boiled over into the need for this sticky thread, and am merely expressing my opinion as to a general manner of conduct and way of approaching the board.Quote:

As I have already said, there are always at least 2 sides to every story, and no one here who already has an opinion about any specific incidents is going to have their mind changed by debating the matter.
Therefore, I need no further elaboration about specific incidents, and I have no desire to, nor will I, debate specific incidents.
You're right....in a general sense that's how it should be done...but I don't recall any other problems other than the one you and I and everyone else is thinking of that brought this thread on...and I still stand by my principle - Don't start shit to begin with...especially when you know the other person uses that type of language and the content of an angry post results in a lotta swearing and cussing...
It's easy to point out the content of a post someone uses but you and I are arguing two different points...because you attack the cussing, and I'm getting to the source of the problem...I mean, other than what you quoted, I take it you agree with my own generalities too?
