Have you ever been in a heated debate on arfcom, and someone sends you a PM telling you in no uncertain terms what to do to yourself?

Posted: 3/29/2010 3:27:03 PM EDT

[#1]

No

Did you just have someone take the internet a little too serious?

Posted: 3/29/2010 3:27:26 PM EDT

[#2]

Typically I am sending out PMs after one of those exchanges apologizing for being an ass.

Solicitations and proposals. Most including detailed diagrams and specific instructions. Hate and discontent.

Now that I think about it, I did have someone offer to give me his address so we could discuss things face to face. He wasn't insulting, just another internet tough guy who got offended when I told him that he wasn't going to do what he implied he would do to a female police officer.

Once, it only had one word in the IM: asshole.

I've gotten some odd IM's before, but none of them told me to go fornicate with myself.

Posted: 3/29/2010 3:33:21 PM EDT

[#16]

I have to add though, that some of the most meaningful things I've taken from arfcom have come from personal message as well. There are some good people here.

Instead they just removed me from Staff.

Check your IM box.

I've been called a few good names so far.

But nothing I was offended by.

Posted: 3/29/2010 7:37:02 PM EDT

[#19]

No.

Though I have had pms asking what the heck had me ticked off.

LOL...same here.

But then again, I also PM people to send them free t-shirts just for the hell of it as well.

I got one a long time ago from "the biggest drama queen on arfcom".<––––––-someone else's description of him.

I got some from a former member that were pretty good.

I think it is funny I could get them so pissed.

I can't forget about the ones from Bama-bitch always asking why I don't like him and how he wishes we could be friends.......I think he is gay though.

Not yet....unfortunately. But give me Vito, Flash66, one of 5subsr5's troll acounts and an Israel thread and I think I could pull it off.

I thought you had to have over 10,000 posts before you got those types of messages.

Posted: 3/29/2010 8:28:06 PM EDT

Nope, not one bad one yet. I have had a few leg humpers though.

Nightly.

People take locking their threads like I would treat someone assaulting my children. They threaten me personally, argue endlessly, say they going to take it up stairs to senior staff, and go on and on.

It's the Internet people, get over it!

I've gotten IMs for discussing stuff in a thread, but nothing nasty.

I guess I'm too lame or I'm on alot of ignore lists.

If I did, I would tell them to FO.

Only twice, and it was after what I thought was a witty reply in an non confrontational thread. I examined both of them nine ways from Sunday and couldn't figure out what the deal was. After I replied they got the picture and cooled off.

Sheesh. Some people are wound pretty tight.

Nope.

I'm still debating with myself if this place is just a figment of my imagination.

I'm the nicest guy on the internet, though.
