Let's say you have a brother with a mental handicap. You come here to talk about Ranger bow kiting and see people using the word "retard", which is as offensive to you as the word "******" is to some people. Do you:

A) post here more to make the forum a better place?

or:

B) run away and never come back?

I would use common sense, and probably notice that the word "retard" is commonly used but not in the context I always thought it was used in.

P.S. I had an autistic "retarded" stepbrother, and guess what? The use of the word doesn't anger me, doesn't make me want to run away, and doesn't make me want to try to "enlighten" people to not use it. Sometimes you got to use some common sense.

I would post here every time.

But then, my personality type is conflict-confronting, not conflict-avoiding.

Loramin, people have taken extremely aggressive personal attacks against me on stuff like the fact that I had my colon removed surgically to treat a horrible disease. I literally had a person call me a brain-addled drug addict because I was on pain medication for a short period of time following a surgery. I shared a little on the forum and it was used as fodder for the cannons by the worst of the trolls.

So this isn't a hypothetical question for me.

I don't condone personal attacks. Ppl who do that should be banned because it goes against forum rules. And yet, I am still posting, making RP threads, supporting events, helping new players, and also, yes, Trolling RNF.

God bless America!

Boggles my mind how someone can't match wits with others so instead they levy personal attacks on them.

I personally enjoyed the fact you were able to share some personal tribulation with the forums, and was disappointed that some would use that to try to insult you.

those were some fun forumquesting times there. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

lots of people who hurt deeply within resort to hurting others instead of recognizing their internal pain and changing it to compassion for the world

Similarly, lots of people look on those who are hurting, lashing out at others, and say "they should be gotten rid of."

speaking as a pretty big off topic weirdo, sorn is right. moderate better.

Yeah that's true. It really takes a lot for me to dislike someone, let alone hate them.

I found a long time ago, when I ran across someone that initially annoyed me often times I found it easier to deal with them when I recognized some good quality in them.

I would then run this through my mind, and that person subconsciously understood I did not dislike them as most others seemed to, and they tended to show me their better side.

This made the job I had much easier, as this philosophy I adopted when dealing with "difficult" people was quite effective in making that job easier.

I often times got along with people that many of my coworkers despised, because in all honesty the majority of people you meet in life actually do have some good innate qualities within them.

It's very rare you run across a true sociopath that has nothing to offer the world. They exist, and it is these people who are the real monsters that deserve to be cast away and forgotten.

***I have a lot of disdain for thieves though. Can't tolerate them.

Agree that there could be better moderation, esp in Off Topic. But agreeing with Sorn means you'd be banned and disallowed from posting here Pokesan [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
