i understand your point. you have had more issues with the member at hand. i just try to have fun in chat and help on the other forums where i can. i always figured this forum was the area for fun/insults. i never take the stuff here too serious but the points you made did reinforce the fact that maybe taking these things more serious is what everyone needs to do, including myself.

We are all guilty of saying/typing things that we wish we hadn't on rare occasions, or even sometimes with that whole monday-morning quarterback arguement hindsight is truly 20/20. But there is a difference between good-humored leg-pulling and even dark humor can be HYSTERICAL. Hell I make more fun of myself then anybody else makes fun of me... I can take it on the chin. But there comes a point when people should sit back and think a minute on what is funny and what is out and out malicious and abusive.

If admin and the mods/mentors want people to take elite seriously then they can no longer use the arguement "this is the internet so don't take it so seriously" anymore because that sorta insults our intelligence... does it not?

I could care less if this piece of trash punk (or those JUST LIKE HIM) puts himself in countless situations where he puts himself out there to be ridiculed for being the fool that he is. We all need a village idiot. I can and have ignored him (and those like him) quite successfully, which only fanned the flames. Not always the case, but with most obsessive losers who have NO LIFE that is usually what happens. And eventually they all end up going *poof* which doesn't affect me not one bit. I have NEVER been wrong about a situation where I was of the opinion that WHOMEVER was a worthless and did the site more harm and very little of no good whatsoever.

If I don't like how the site is being run then I just don't log on... right? I can choose to stay and TRY to make a difference but why should I if none of my efforts are taken seriously?

^^^Devil's advocate right there - meant to provoke intelligent thought - not taking a cheap shot at mods/mentors/administration. It's very hard to keep valued members once they wander over to chat. I've been here 10 years and have seen it happen all too often.

One could say then STAY OUT OF CHAT.

True...

But why should ANYONE'S ability to feel comfortable in an internet chatroom be compromised by an extremely small yet VERY VOCAL group of malicious idiots who add NOTHING to the rest of elite?

^^^Again, that's me being controversial - not malicious or disrespectfull.

Some of us can have fun without breaking the rules. If you break the rules, you get punished. Thats not up to you or me to decide.

If you see a thread/post made by someone that you aren't fond of you ought to try ignoring it. It will save you some frustration.

I would never think about disrespecting a Mod. Unfortunately, we all can't say that, can we

With all due respect 1500, I've been on elite A LOT LONGER than you have been a COB. So even though I know you think you are being helpfull trying to offer me advice about how I can *save myself some frustration* it's sort of insulting. This ain't my first rodeo. Know what I mean?

I ignored this particular asstard for months. A lot of good that did. I didn't complain about him either - NOT ONCE in all those months, hello, why should I complain - I WAS IGNORING HIM and what happens? The fool went and got hisself bant all by his bad self.

Bottom line is if admin/mods/mentors want regular board to take the site seriously then they can not use the arguement "it's just the internet - don't take it so seriously."

Sorry but the two don't mix. I don't make the rules, my friend so don't shoot the messenger.

Just sayin is all.

When I get bombed I just log off until it gets unblacked... 'course any posts that I made anyplace else on elite for near 10 years are also blacked out... sorta bad for business... dontcha think?

Maybe if they could make it that the black-out only appears in chat (which is where 99% if not ALL of the bombs are used) it would be more fun and games and less damaging to the site as a whole.

See... I don't dwell on problems NOR DO I MAKE THEM - I am all about being part of THE SOLUTION.

First to your earlier point: I look at this board like I look at healthcare...you don't have a right to have fun, feel comfortable, etc. Would it be nice if you did? Sure. If you don't, it's not remotely close to being the end of the world. Unless someone is threatening your life or the lives of your loved ones, you have no good reason to get upset. About any of this. You can't (shouldn't) get upset by people tagging on you because they don't like you or your Internet persona. I'm sure some folks on here don't like my awesomeness, but I could care less. Because it's an Internet chat board.

Regarding dwelling on problems, that's too subjective. You may think a small member of the population here are "problems." Others may agree. Chances are just as many if not more folks disagree with you. You have a problem with a few members who rag on you but generally get along with most everyone else doesn't seem to be a problem that the board needs to fix.

I get along with everyone, that is just because I am such a great guy. I could care less what happens because they aren't shooting at me, they aren't hiding in the bush and I can always play mafia wars and be deelighted to drive home in a comfortable hoopdie.

All that being said, I can't undersatnd why people are so caustic on an internet chat board. Is that some insight into their personal life with issues of their own? I also find that when you go pretty much anyplace in the world, when people that are really great human beings they seem to be around other great human beings. The opposite is also true. What does that say about people in general? Well my humble opinion, which anyone can either take or leave, if you are an ass in real life you are an ass everyplace else. The opposite is also true there.
