You literally beat me to it LOL It was the first thing I thought after reading the OP.
Sadface
I think there is a word for what they are doing. Hmm what could it be?
I usually try to be constructive and be helpful to others but now and again I will throw out a gif making fun of someones opinion when I see it as a troll/bait thread.
I’ve had a couple rounds with some though that are just toxic people in general that want to stir the pot and don’t actually want a real conversation and it can be extremely frustrating to say the least.
I don’t know how many times I wanted to come back at someone that post some negative garbage just to get bites and I have typed out something and stop and think about it and just hit cancel because it’s just not worth it in the end to me.
I’ve had some good back and forth with people too and in the end liking each others post out of respect for a different opinion or mindset because it was kept civil and mature.
Only thing i have to say is,you are what you put out in the world.I’m glad for that god button.
I imagine it is like the Key and Peele skit. People will read and place an emotion on what they’re reading. One person can be just talking and while disagreeing isn’t angry. While the other one is getting upset.
Though some times insults are thrown and then you can use the function to hide replies.
So do I. I also like to poke at the drama to keep it riled up to give me more to read.
If people disagree with me for any reason, on any subject, they are clearly wrong and evil. And they are spreading their evil wrongs to others. I can not, in good conscience, allow such wretches to plague our society unanswered!
They are the enemy of all.
Because people are fighting for social status.
To them a forum is just another form of PVP.
Like a battleground.
I disagree.
skips away
some ppl need a hug. it be like that sometimes.
“You’re stalking” memes aside, the posts can indicate the sort of character they are or how well they can possibly talk in this topic.
Take for instance, if you made a thread, trying to remove something because it doesn’t fit your personal ideas. If you made an attempt of trying to convince us with that idea, actually discussing it and such, some would still disagree, but they would know that you at least have the capacity to attempt having a dialect here. If you’re just generally trolling, or insulting, keep on saying “what i said is THE GOD HONEST TRUTH” (or just preaching the choir), crap like that… that would only hurt your chances of people agreeing with you (except for the people who already have the same opinion and just want their opinion’s confirmed) well that makes people wary when they go on the next thread of yours. By design, you’re casting a shadow of doubt on your own thread thanks to your previous actions, and that carries throughout. It’s not just the matter of agreeing or disagreeing, it’s more of how you made your points or how you carry yourself in a debate.
Of coarse, there’s times where while i’ve vehemently disagree with people before and now, occasionally has something that i do agree with. And this is the same situation but in reverse with people i agree with.
Well somebody liking your comments, doesn’t mean they lack the capacity to disagree with you. On my scale, Rhielle is ranked fourth in liking my comments, and first in me liking her comments. That doesn’t mean we never disagreed on things. And she can tell you the exact same thing here.
Well no, it shouldn’t.
Well if the mate is unwilling to change their extreme position and continues their bad position and methods into their other threads…
Them’s fightin words.
This thread makes me think of Rhielle, which then makes me wonder
Where’s Rhielle been?
People make enemies here? There are a few posters I rarely if ever agree with (I won’t name and shame) and there are posters I often find myself in resonance with. Those cool people aren’t my “friends” though any more than those others are “enemies,” we’re just all faceless forum people doing our thing. If there was never any conflicting points of view you’d be on one of those ultra-moderated hobbiest forums where there might be some solid academic info but nothing fun or interesting is ever truly said.
I challenge you to a post off…TO THE DEATH!
I can get all kinds of petty and ignorant if you get on my bad side.
*glares intently at the crowd, sweeping to and fro with my gaze of doom…
O.0…
I sometimes disagree with Tovi or Wild and other posters that I think are good people. I still will give them hearts on posts that I like and support them. The problem with many people these days is that they post out of emotion and let it overtake them. They also don’t want to hear the other side of an argument because they don’t want to believe or possibly be proven wrong.
No. TO THE PAIN!!
Ive started doing that myself in recent months.
At a point it has to be accepted that someone is just trolling to waste your time and energy. I’d rather spend my time with more productive discussions.
