Because you should be Respectful to people no matter where they are, if they're being nice to you, why be an ass to them? Weren't we raised to be respectful as wolf said? :|
Exactly. Since we're all behind a screen, it's only the offended person's fault that they let these digital words get to them.
Even behind a screen the things said can be taken personally, especially when the insults are personal. I just laugh it off and remember they are nobody to me. My opinion is people in general have become more selfish and cold hearted in real life. Even more people are that way online because they don't have the balls to be that way in RL.
I say my opinion to people often and I know they don't like me in real life I try to be nicer in PIMD due to the fact I don't wanna be banned or some shit, already silenced because of an accident I did but
Just.. I think we can do better. everyone has some good in them. I think people mean well in general and it just doesn't come off clearly when it's online. Tons of ways to interpret text and all.
That's really what it comes down to. You don't have to deal with the person you're "being mean to" here. In real life there are things you'd love to say to people that you avoid just to avoid the real life drama that would come with it. Here there's no drama. If I wanna tell someone they're annoying it won't bother me at all. Respect... Is silly. To apply it here. We have the choice to talk to who we want here and as such I don't believe the basic rules of respect should apply. Give me a reason to respect you. That's just me though, and it's worked for years now.
I have no filter, I say what I want, don't really care. I don't know you guys at the end of the day, so who cares? I even have no problem telling my "PIMD friends" to shut up in forums when they sound stupid. If anyone has a problem with what someone unknown said to them online, that's their own personal issue. Many people, if not all, banter each other just because we can... There's not really a consequence to it, and even if there is, I have no problem taking full responsibility for my actions cause yes, there are real people behind these screens at the end of the day.
Meh. That's my opinion on opinions. The moment people stop learning to stop taking shit so personally the better off they'll be. I'm a work in progress. Forget filters
Also, whoever said that we are nicer in real life, I agree, that's because true drama is eliminated. Whereas, on PIMD, People can just delete each other if they really bother ya lmao!
But yeah. You gotta be accepting of honesty and with knowing you can be penalized if that's ever the case. And don't just be mean to random people, you should also have no problem telling your friends off too. Deadly angel and I are pretty damn close, an heck, we will argue with eachother on forums if we disagree. There's nothin more annoying than watching someone only banter on someone cause they don't really like them. That's not stating your opinion, that's being hella lame.
I just think there's a difference to being brutally honest and being mean. It's like people get a kick out of the negativity sometimes and putting people down.
