So before I get to my point of this thread, I am going to make it clear that this is a POINTLESS THREAD. So heads up to everyone, before someone wants to complain. Also, THIS IS GOING TO BE LONG. Don't like long threads, please back out now and just ignore it. No one is forcing you to waste your time, if you read it, you do so out of your own free will. Now, I have a question for my dear forumers. If you know me, as a forumer that is, or have seen me around, you know I pretty much post long paragraphs as all of my comments. Very rarely do I post something that is short and sweet lol. Now, I know not everyone's first language is English, and I also deal with a lot of people on a regular basis. I am a surgical nurse and have my doctors degree. I do a lot of consultations with pre op, and post op patients (regarding surgery), and I have to make sure I break down every little thing that they may need to know. Now, I also don't really post unless I feel strongly about what the OP said, or a comment from someone else. With me feeling strongly about it, I like to make sure I make my opinion as clear as possible. So for me, I tend to write a lot and put it all into one post, instead of someone not understanding me, or taking it wrong, and then having to repeat. I also am pretty inactive for what I used to be, so normally I only get the chance to make that one comment, and then the thread is gone, or "lost" by the time I would go back, so again I like to clarify it all in one. So, now my question is my dear forumers, why do some care so much? Why do some focus so much on what I do, or how much I write? The purpose of the forum, other then for the obvious giving game tips, with guides and strategies, is to state opinions and have conversations, right? Well maybe not everyone would agree, but that is my opinion, and I, myself only merely use it to state my opinions, which clearly everyone does. So just because mine are longer then others, why are mine any different, and so many wanting to act like it is "wrong" for me to do?Clearly there are no right or wrong answers, this is merely asking your opinion or how you feel. These questions have been on my mind for quite some time, but they did spark me to make a thread, from Peeta's comment on the picture thread. Now Peeta isn't the only one that feels the need to mention it every time. I did not make this to single him out, nor is this directed towards him in anyway. I could never say Peeta is a bad person, or that I dislike Peeta because I do not know him. I only mentioned him because he is the most recent. Now this is not all just about me either, it goes for other people as well. Like, why do some care so much what others say as well. I don't mean in them writing long comments either, but just in general. Which brings me to another question, why are some people major hypocrites towards something's? Which goes into again "why do people care so much?" A lot of people are quick to "attack" an OP when they make "useless of pointless" threads, or don't agree with what OP says, yet if it was their friend that did, they would laugh and joke on it. However, when it's someone they don't know they are quick to "jump down their throats". (Wouldn't it be kind of cool if we could shrink ourselves, to be able to actually jump into someone's throat and mess with them? Not be eaten of course though, that would suck.) I just don't understand why some care so much. I never attack anyone in my comments, nor do I harm anyone with writing my long comments. I just merely state my opinions, just as everyone else does, mine are just longer, so why do some people make it such a big deal? Don't like them, ignore it. It really is that simple. Don't like random threads that some make to pass time, ignore it. I am just curious on others opinions and how they feel. If you want to complain, or start an argument with someone over their opinion on this thread, then don't bother posting. Keep on moving and just ignore it. I did not make this to start any arguments, or for people to take things too serious, but merely just for opinions, which I feel the forum is for. This is supposed to be a "light" thread. If you have an issue with someone, that no matter what they say, you don't agree with, please just ignore. We all are supposed to be adults. Please respect everyone, with the same respect this you would want in return. Now I must go back to work. Have a wonderful day/night everyone. I can't wait to read others opinions. Also, if you actually read this all, I really appreciate you taking the time to do so, since as usual, nothing I post is ever short.
Idc Jenni you're free to post whatever you please although sometimes I dont agree with you, you always have logic and semse behind your reasoning which so many ppl lack. I'd say ignore it and keep doing what you're doing cuz it's working
I've always enjoyed your posts jenni, mainly because you're so straightforward. As for your questions, ask yourself why do you care about what others post? It goes the same way, they're all just opinions and what's not. Most people tend to think that they're right and nobody likes to be proven wrong so they gonna try to come back and acts as a victim and shit to make the other sounds like a bitch. Why? Idk, for sympathy I guess With that being said, just ignore them and stick to what you're doing b/c you're pretty good at it. Someone wise once said" you ain't doing something right if you don't got haters".Jk️
People are lazy and generally the ones who complain just want to complain instead of just reading it. Then, of course, some people want to act like you're this mean person because you're honest and you speak you mind. You're blunt, you don't bullshit things, and you stand by what you say, which is quite respectable. I think such actions might be shocking and disconcerting to most of the people on forums as some aren't too bright, and others are pretty much famous for complaining about stupid things, lying, bullshitting their way through things, and going back on their word. That makes Jenni different. And if there's anything I've learned in my few years on this damned planet, it's that people don't like differences. Which is quite a shame, because differences help you grow. But no one wants to grow anything besides their stats here so to heck with it. Also, since most of the rage on forums is generally spewed in long paragraphs, you may look like you're raging. My only suggestion (especially if you do start getting angry and sometimes you do get pretty heated) is to calm down. Unless you can't "calm down" (like me, I don't "calm down") they carry on doing your thang. I mean what can they do? It's not like you ever break RoC.
like the two lovely ladies before me said, I also enjoy reading your posts.. As you said, you'll only post if you feel strongly about op's topic, or a comment made, and that definitely shows.. I think your posts bring a sense of reality to our forums. You're always the voice of reason that makes people stop and think about things from a different perspective.. I won't be a hypocrite and say I've never said something nasty on a thread.. There are some days where I shouldn't open forums at all but I agree with your point about bandwagoners thinking it's fun to pick on the little guy.. Kids.. They'll learn eventually.. :roll: keep posting though, lovely! There will always be those that complain, but I've seen enough proof to know you're stronger than that anyway
Now everyone is going to try and post long replies Simply put, if that's how you choose to post, go for it, as long as it doesn't break the rules, you can type as much, as little, in any style you choose to do, your typing it, not them, they can read it, or ignore it. Do what you do.
she asked a few questions, and made a few points, Zachy.. Of course there'd be long answers..
Thanks Jopo dear. I don't expect everyone to always agree with me, that is just impossible. My grandmother, and my father are my role models, and I surely don't always agree with my grandmother, nor did I with my dad when he was around. This is just a game, and I am like any other player, so not everyone will always agree with each other, but that is a part of life. I most certainly will never change my point of view, or my opinions, just because others may not agree or like it.
Lol, thanks Kimmy. I am completely fine with having "haters". I actually enjoy them, when it's THEIR OWN opinion, and not because it's someone else's. I will always respect others opinions.
I agree with you Alice dear. I am definitely different, and I like that. You know what, I've never actually thought about with my posts being long, some seeing it as raging, without reading it. It is definitely true, that when someone does rage, it's usually as long as my posts lol. I believe that is the longest post I've ever seen you type. Thank you for taking the time sweetie. Oh and about the calm down, it may come off as I am not calm, but I seriously am. Yes, I get into deep conversations, so I get deep into my replies, and I am one of those people that do not think about what I am about to type or say. I just do it, and it flows out of my mouth/fingers.
I believe your question was why do people have a problem with your posts… lots of people don't like to read, most long posts are angry or argumentative, and i read most of your posts… honestly you could shorten them and still get your point across.
Awwww, thanks Ahli sweetheart. I always love reading your posts as well. You always know how to lighten the mood, and make everyone laugh. I have to say, I can be pretty jealous of that. I used to be that way, but I ended up having to mature very early in life and be independent. I was always the one taking care of everyone else, and not having a childhood. So, all my friends that would live day to day not caring what they did, would always come to me for advice, as well as family. I was always, and still am that one to go to for advice, and to smack sense and reality into everyone. As we all know, not everyone likes to hear the truth, and I am always brutally honest, so I don't always get to come off as the fun bubbly person that I am, when having to give some harsh advice. I will always continue to post though, unless I quit the game. Which i am thinking I may do pretty soon, because I'm just tired of people's child drama. I don't care what others say, nor will I ever, I am just way too busy in life, and don't get to have a life, so the little time I do get, I surely don't want to be dealing with dumb asses around here. Thanks Zach. Now to finalize pretty much everyone's comments. First off, I appreciate you all taking the time to read the thread, and for giving me your input. It definitely means a lot, since you could have used your time towards something else. Now lastly, this was just one of those bored "why" thoughts to a lot of questions. The thread wasn't solely just directed towards me, on why people care about what I do, but for others to think about, why some people care so much about what others do as well. Why some feel the need to belittle, or "attack" others over nothing, just to make themselves feel better, I guess? I will not stop what I do, just because others may not like it. That's why normally every time I do, I start off with saying it will be long, and to just ignore if you don't want to read it or don't like it. As I have always said, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but I will not change the person I am, or the things I do, just because of someone else. One last comment. at Zach stating how everyone is making long comments now. Again, that is their choice, but like Ahli said, I did ask a few questions. Again, I appreciate everyone taking the time, especially since every comment was pretty long lol.
Sloth, that was not my only question, and as I stated, that was not solely on why I decided to make it a thread. Yes, I could make them shorter, but they wouldn't be me if I did. As I also mentioned, I only ever really comment on something I feel strongly about, so since I feel strongly about it, I will put that extra time into typing, and I guess the best way to put it, is also give the topic the "time it deserves" if that makes sense to you. =)
Hmmm... I personally enjoy seeing your posts. You're not afraid to say what you want to say, and I applaud you for that. You have common sense and insight on your issue. You debate with information to back up your statement. Unlike others, who just post without even first thinking of what point they want to get across to the reader. I hope you continue what you're doing. You're not bashing another player, but simply just stating your opinion. And what better place to do that then the forums? Does the freedom of speech ring a bell to those who
