My thoughts of the internet

I know you had a problem in another community .. same sort of thing, people harassing. And I know people were giving you shit here, too. I'm not one of those people .. I don't harass and I don't "troll". Some people think it's okay, I don't.

Your awards icon disappeared when I got mine. You got your awards icon back after mine disappeared. strange, haha

 

If the goal is to harass me to the point of leaving, should I obey and make them happy? There are plenty people I enjoy and I like this website. Burst their bubble, they aren't going to "win".

This is my way of confronting those people. I don't care if people don't like me .. don't have to .. but DON'T have a right to harass somebody.

 

The far good side and the far bad side .. no different from the ground-level reality.

I just wish humanity would stop giving me reason to believe that "depopulation" is the right idea.

 

While I don't like verbal violence, the issue is that a few people have decided to argue with anything I say .. unrelenting .. and harass any post I make with thumbs down. I asked a simple question about the little awards icon and the haters were right there to harass.

When I don't like somebody, I just ignore them. I don't sit here harassing their threads and posts.

 

The internet is part of the "new world". The world is ever changing and we live in the age of technology and information.
People don't change much, all throughout the ages there were people with different opinions, bullies, trolls etc. The internet just provides people with another medium to express those.

 

The internet does have some of the worst of humanity. But fundamentaly sharing knowledge for free il to everyboody is the best of humanity. Honestly if you can't see that you're focusing on the wrong things, possibly bexause they hurt you're feelings. And while I'm not without sympathy, there is an ignore button.

 

The internet is an extension, not a replacement of reality.

 

For me it's not that views or opinions are different, it's when folks go on proclaiming how stupid and "sheeplike" everyone else in the world is because they don't agree with certain views and opinions, many of which are built upon very flimsy and questionable premises.

That's what I tend to see happening with Gina.
She makes ludicrous claims and proclamations, yet has nothing to support them, not even a clear understanding of what she herself believes or intends to convey.
Then rather than maybe dialogue with others who question her remarks, she either responds in senseless and juvenile manners or declares "You're going on ignore" which we have all seen is a sham anyway, she just utilizes it as a means of not having to consider it when sound and rational opposition to her ideas has been put forward.

I often come across as an ass, but I do so with purpose and intention. I am trying to spur the other person into reflecting on what they are communicating and how/why they arrived at those conclusions.
I try to force the sheep to look at the flock they are in, regardless of the color of the fleece.
(we all belong to flocks, whether you want to admit it or not )
When a person responds to such prompting with juvenile and poorly thought out responses or simply put's those members on "ignore" tells me that they do not have confidence in their viewpoints or how they arrived at them.



I fear Gina is yet another person who joined thinking the site would be populated by only like-minded hippy types and alas, like so many before her, has become disillusioned when she discovered it's just a microcosm of the world at large in here.:mickey:

 

Hopefully one day humans will finally understand that "things" are always neutral, humans are the only ones who ascribe valuations of "good" or "bad" to things.
Same applies to the internet, it's just a benign, neutral "thing".
How humans use a thing determines/indicates their intentions, not any intrinsic value of the thing itself.

 

The person complaining about internet incivility tells everyone to fuck off. Haha.

I generally find, in real life and on the internet, if someone finds they are frequently part of drama and confrontation, it generally means they are the person creating the drama.

 

simple scientific principle at work;
what is the common denominator

 

Quoted for emphasis.

I tried to tell OP it is not their perhaps controversial opinions or thoughts that is causing all this negativity towards her, it is her own negative way of bringing them across.
If then as a result she takes all such criticism as a personal attack instead, even when people tell her we don't hate her but her consistent unrealistic approach and delivery of those thoughts (or consistently insists on bringing the uttermost negative perspective as fact) then yeah, in the end you will come across as a charicature that's hard to take seriously and thus will be perceived as such. I hope for her 'ginalee' takes these messages to heart.

 

I think OP projects a bit. I've maybe encountered them twice and both times thier reaction to me seemed rather disproportionate to what I had actually said or done. In fact, this statement may land me another 'leave me the fuck alone' but hey....if you make a thread specifically to bring shit up....

You didn't bother in the lunacy thread to find out what else I believe or disbelieving, you just assumed I was some science troll and busted out with 'all science is bullshit' and I mean...how do you respond to that.

Now the neg rep, yeah that might've been a little douchey, especially since some people take rep way to seriously...but you literally asked for rep. Ya gotta laugh at yourself at least a little for that one, right?

But this isn't some plot.

 

The contemporary is temporaneous but temporary all the same.

We share our thoughts which is not a meaningful statement if you believe we don't. If you don't believe we share our thoughts you might be deceived into thinking that a mind can attack another mind.

Anyone who has ever been offended by something they saw or heard has not taken offense because of what was seen or heard but for what they say about what they see or hear, not what an event has done to you but how you are treating events. To take offense is to become offensive.

Even though we share our thoughts your mind is yours and yours alone to think with. As you think for yourself you think also of, with, and for others. As you think of and about them so they appear to you. You may then suspect them even though they have no suspicion of it. A suspicion is an imaginary projection that substitutes for understanding.

The enduring milestones of human development are in terms of biological growth, birth and death. Communication is meaningful but the internet is neither here nor there and if it disappears for you, you would still find a way to communicate.

 

thick skin is required to project your viewpoint, you cant control how people act or type, you can only control yourself.

 

Hey yo. Just a thought... but if you hate the internetz so much, why is you on here, yo?

 

On that... .I recall that the first time I ever conversed w you on here it was in a thread you made bitching about the internet and people being mean on the internet (very similar to this one) and I replied to you trying to be nice. (telling you that I used to allow what people would say on the internet to effect me but I learned to not let the internet effect me and to only care what people think about me who are important to me-family, friends, people I actually know....)---- you, for some reason, jumped in saying I was trying to argue w you and you literally freaked out on me telling me you were ignoring my posts, etc.

It was for NO REASON other than me trying to be nice to you. So, screw you. You obviously have issues in your little brain...seriously. You are just dramatic and start shit w other people then run crying to mommy when people don't just stand there and take your bullshit.

I don't care though. I find you amusing and funny so carry on w your dramatics, girley. :2thumbsup:

 

That's pretty much what I tried to tell her in her other thread on this exact topic but for some reason that was "arguing with her" and invited a meltdown on her end.

Hilarious really.

 

this internet stuff is serious business..


be proud, be you, be original, have fun!

 

I agree with the last three... yah, be proud, be original, have fun....

But the internet is def. not serious.:afro:
