March 2, 200719 yr Fair point. I hated when it when I'd get provoked into name calling. It doesn't seem to go on that much anymore though. I mean I post all over the net and you experience some really dumbed-down people. When I get dragged into slightly spiky debates I always try and still make a valid point - no matter how much pointless swearing has occurred in the post. It's only because I care, honestly. I didn't actually mean you, GAreth. I've seen you get angry and make your point and tell people to open their f**king eyes, or get their head out of the sand (or their ass). But you don't just post to call someone names. There's usually a reason for your posts. And you're right. I haven't seen much real nastiness around here lately. Maybe I'll check out the 9/11 thread again...I've been lurking there for a while now,lol.

March 2, 200719 yr There certainly are some nasty people on this board!! Yep. But I guess it's to be expected with around 27,000 members. We can't even agree on Coldplay half the time,lol. It's the reality of a large forum like this.
March 2, 200719 yr Yep. But I guess it's to be expected with around 27,000 members. We can't even agree on Coldplay half the time,lol. It's the reality of a large forum like this. Fair argument there...it's the way of the world i guess...but what's worse is when you have people make stupid comments,not realising how offensive it can be....ignorance is no excuse!!!
March 2, 200719 yr Such as this.... yeah and you wank on swastika :thinking: why are you thinking on it? his location is germany Yeah but still I think it was a random maybe inappropriate comment.
March 2, 200719 yr Fair argument there...it's the way of the world i guess...but what's worse is when you have people make stupid comments,not realising how offensive it can be....ignorance is no excuse!!! True. But sometimes ignorance can be an excuse. There's also a language barrier. I had a go with someone on here a few months ago because I thought they were being highly insulting, and it turned out they didn't speak alot of english. What they said sounded patronizing to me even though they thought they were just being matter-of-fact. If you talk things out instead of jumping to conclusions, it makes life alot easier. Of course, if their english is great and they're just being an ass, ignorance is no excuse,lol.
March 2, 200719 yr I think I am one of the argumentative people mentioned above...so I would never mind others reactions cuz I could dish it out if someone was like...retardedly dissing my thread, you know. Sometimes you just have to expect the spam/bull you get when making a thread

March 2, 200719 yr Erm...he said you wank on a swastika because your German? OK. Forget what I said about the language barrier.
March 2, 200719 yr It's racist and highly offensive...I am half german after all... I agree. It's very offensive. In that case, Merek should have been more careful what he posted.
March 2, 200719 yr I must just be reacting to the plethora of pure digital diarrhoea that has swiftly smeared itself across large sections of this place in the past few weeks. That was so poetic haha. Well worded. And its so true...but I have been part of it to an extent. But its getting a little bit old now.
March 2, 200719 yr That was so poetic haha. Well worded. And its so true...but I have been part of it to an extent. But its getting a little bit old now. "Am I part of the cure, Or am I part of the desease?" :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3:
March 2, 200719 yr It's racist and highly offensive...I am half german after all... Yeah I didn't appreciate that comment at all. At least I stuck up for you Rick. I know you can make some not nice (but often humerous) comments about Marek but I don't think you cross the line.
March 2, 200719 yr Am I a careful with what I write? Not really.. whatever I write it's whatever it comes out. (Most of it is just plain silly). I don't get scared if I don't get any respond... I'm used to talking to myself now:laugh3: A lot of people say that "You are SOOOOOOOO nice" I don't try to be..that's just how I am, but I also get "You are SOOOOO nice that I don't even want to touch you" You would ask why, right? They say because I look like the type of person who would just explode haha:laugh3: As a member of this forum, I really do hope people don't feel pressured on what to write. This is an open forum and if you simply can't get along with someone just use the ignore option. Lord knows I can be annoyed as well sometimes..:dozey: :laugh3: I come here to relax and chit-chat with people, talk about Coldplay and some other stuff. I don't come with the intentions of name calling people and see who I can get angry for my own fun and I hope no else does. If you are just bored and with no one to talk to..(well ArnIe used to be here. HOW I MISS HIM! :bigcry: ) if you need a little pushing into making you feel more comfortable in posting. I'm here 'cause you know we all have someone to lean on :nice: awwwwwwwww:laugh3:
March 2, 200719 yr Let's all sing along now...... *raises arms into the air waving* we live in a beautiful worlddddddd yeah we do yeah we do:laugh3:
March 2, 200719 yr it depends on what mood i'm in to be honest. sometimes i'll be pretty careful with my wording and make my post seem very fair; even though i may be feeling extremely pissed off because i know in an hour i'll go back and think "what the hell am i on about?" and in that hour i could've possible upset people for no reason. other times i'll be feeling happy-go-lucky and post things i wouldn't do otherwise, but for the most part i like to keep my posts straight to the point. i don't criticise or annoy anyone unless i am provoked and even then i don't do it in a 'in your face' way. [btw i've been a part of a few forums and this is the best one so far, there are others that have completely turned me off going there for anything else besides that band, kinda a shame really] most of the time i post only what is necessary, i just get straight to the point while still seeming approachable, afterall i am not just a username :nice:
March 2, 200719 yr Sometimes I care about what I write... I can overreact very quickly, but I try to control my moods.
March 2, 200719 yr It's racist and highly offensive...I am half german after all... That was extremely offensive. I can't believe he said that! :embarassed:
March 2, 200719 yr no, i don't think about what i write at all. i do not mean to hurt anyone with my statements. i usually post the stuff i'd say in a "normal" conversation, too ...
March 2, 200719 yr I'm a bit careful. But then again, I bet I'm one of the few people on this forum who has had to sign the official secrets act;)
