...pretty much all I see on this board is about 75% jerks, and about 25% people that are actually involved 'positively' in the conversations...
I read some things from some people that seems sincere enough, then some other person replies with, "Dude, stop whining you bitch... Didn't your mother stop breast feeding you already?"... Or, "Man, why don't you shut the fuck up, your opinion smells of shit".... THIS, is a primary example of the inner asshole, protected by his anonymity. Man, You guys should have some respect for your fellow man. If you don't have something nice to say, Dont say it!... You know and everyone else knows, that if you started to talk like this in person, you'd get the holy living shit kicked out of you. You KNOW who you are. But, you continue anyway, feeling protected by your computer. And, when you leave the computer, and run down to the store, your all nice and curtious... Is this what I'm to expect from forum's that cater to this type of hobby? I guess so. After all, I wouldn't expect a 45 year old talking about how he cut a deer in half with 40 rounds of .223. |

Man, why don't you shut the fuck up, your opinion smells of shit.

|

I hate to be "abrasive" or tell you your thread smells of anything, but this does sound like something else I read recently.

Mike.
I am serious here. Posting stuff like this is like putting blood in shark filled waters. You are just asking to get your a$$ bit off. You are dealing with people who concentrate here out of a love for weapons. There won't be many tender moments here, ok? Peace, love, and understanding are not the rule at ARFCOM. Unless it is peace through superior firepower. Just trying to help you out. |
|
FUCK OFF ..I can cut a deer in half with 20 rounds.... |
|
|
Another subtlety that many don't get. I call people all sorts of horrid names and make merciless fun of them. I do this because I LIKE them. If I didn't like them, I wouldn't bother talking to them at all. It is a guy thing. |

It is disheartening. I agree. When I first got online a good friend of mine spoke of online ettiquette and said a wise thing: He said, treat others and chat with them as if they were in the same room with you. Otherwise don't say anything to anyone that you wouldn't say in person. Good advice. The people who treat people like shit online wouldn't have the sand to do so in person for fear of getting their ass kicked. Do what I do about it, don't engage with a person who flames you, just act as if they never posted. Ignore them and their posts forever from that point on. Don't give their posts any respect by posting back to them. The moment they say make it personal, ignore them. Zen "This is my rifle, there are many like it, but this one is mine" |

Welcome to the human race...
...in all seriousness, you need to realize that this is the way most all of the Internet boards are like. It's people, not ARFcom. Posting stuff like this is just going to make it worse for you too. If your feelings are hurt so easily then I suggest you stop posting here. Nobody's forcing you to. Otherwise grow some thicker skin. |
|
Just what I expected...
If there is any admin out there that is capable of banning me permanently, can you please do so? I do not EVER want the tempation of ever posting anything on this site again. -adios (to the good guys). |
|
Toodles. |
|
|
You bastard...I don't have a 50 yet..but if I did...I could do it in ....4... |
|
|
Nuts |
|
|
LOL... get some foreskin camper. It's a fucking Internet forum.
If you need some flame pointers, I'll be happy to help you with some cool phrases like... your momma so fat she broke her leg and gravy came out your momma so fat, her blood type Ragu |
|
Actually, I'm my feelings arn't hurt... I'm actually disapointed that I can't get in some good conversation... no matter what the topic.
I guess I do better in person anyway... (how's that ban going? I'm still posting!!!.... |
|
Well said, Zen. |

What a whiney bitch. Act like a man for God's sake. All you do is piss and moan. |
|
|
Relax dude...if you need some serious info..the other areas of the site have EVERYTHING you need. This is GD...it was fine until BenDover used the inside of his ass for an avitar.....it all went to shit after that |

Another frustrated homosexual calling gunowners names. Will it ever end?
Should we tell him the AWB is over? |

here's some good advice...something you might hear in a smoky church basement on a tuesday night around 7:30 or 8:00pm
"Take what you like, leave the rest". Pretty simple, really. Here's some advice...post in the AR-15 forums...spend a little time talking about guns, which is the real purpose of this site You'll see a whole lot less "assholiness" there than you will in the general board. But when you post something that looks like trolling in the GD, you're gonna get stomped. Personally, I think they should lock the GD to noobs, 'til they have at least 100 posts about gun related stuff...so just be glad I'M not running things. |

Probably cause there's sand in it or he forgot to change his tampon. |

There are prime examples of this throughout the board but you have to ignore it. In our personal life we have the choice of who to direct a question to, on an internet board your question is up for EVERYONE to see, so you'll draw those unwanted "opinions" too. |

The truth was just out of your reach and you missed it by this much.
There are people here - you chose 25% who post - as Zen said - as if they were sitting across the dinner table. They and good to be with, enjoyable to converate with - even when you disagree with them. I have found merit in some people's arguments that I don't agree with. Then there are the others - you chose 75% who are abrasive, abusive, rude, foul, and assholes. I haven't personally met any of these folks face-to-face as I have many of the Washington State and Southern California people who post here. Knowing someone face-to-face raises the level of respect that someone has for the other. I try to treat everyone with equal respect (or dis-respect) as best I can but there are some people that are such assholes it's hard. Rather than having your account deleted why not hook up with some of the 25%ers and go shooting, shoot some cans, shoot some shit, have a barbeque and get to know some of these people you just put down. And when it comes down to it - it is just the Internet and any resemblence to real live is only an accident. |

Damn, you seriously have the EXACT mentality of a socialist don't you? I read your other thread about how Bush was taking away every one's jobs and just like you blame your job woes on Bush (or your RN friend's job problems), now you're trying to blame the fact that you're still posting here, on the fact that the mods haven't banned you yet. It's not the mods resposibility for what YOU post or don't post. It's YOUR responsibility. Just like I don't want the government babysitting me and making my decisions for me, the mods here don't want to babysit YOU or make your decisions for YOU. If you don't like it here then go away. |

PS: Stay out of the General Discusion - even I have to do it a few times a year!

Uhm - if you are referring to your "outsourcing" thread (which I didn't post in, btw) you'll notice that there WAS a substantial conversation going on about the mertis of the arguments (with some namecalling "noise" overlaid on that). The problem is that your fundamental argument was weak, that many of your examples were flawed, and that the solutions you suggested very vague and often didn't make any sense. There was nothing wrong with the "conversation" but you just had a poor position. So if you're saying that you don't want to hang out on a site where people won't let you get away with making weak and unsupported arguments, then that's your choice - and indentifies you a big whiny baby. If on the other hand, you can handle the facts that (a) you are not always right, and (b) some people on this site may be more knowledgable than you about thing you think you understand, and (c) people will disagree with you, then you shoudl absolutely be part of the conversation. It's all up to you. Are you a big baby, or are you able to stand on your own and participate? |

+1 Well said. Some here just choose not to post rather than join in on name-calling. |

You will not be the fist person who can't take the pressure, myself I have had to push my keyboard away and go outside because I got pissed of ove what somebody said, but that doesn't mean that the site is full of assholes, it just means that nobody is going to kiss your ass, and agree with everything you say. If you feel strongly enough about something you had better be ready to defend it when those who don't agree attatck your idea.
I would rather be a liberal on this board than a Ricer, if you want to really get this board stirred up, tell them you like huge mufflers on Hyundais, I am not a river but had to go 12 rounds last night defending the rights of Ricers to customize thier cars however they want. And by the way I am not a ricer, I do not like riced out cars. |

I can get big mufflers for my Sonata...KEWL!! Tell me where. |
|

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, my internet friend.
We'll leave the light on fer ya just in case. |

You must be a parent - I believe my dad used that same line on me when I was a pup. |

|
What the HELL is that ambiguously androgynous thing in the third picture? |
|
|
Awe, it's ok! Here, wanna hug? SIKE!!! Now, fuck off... |
|
|
You think that the admin would waste their time banning you. They keep guys like you around for entertainment. |
|
|
Think about it.
You go somewhere, and just about everyone thinks you're an asshole. But YOU think that it is THEY who are all the assholes. Perhaps you should re-evaluate the way you're looking at this. |
