Ah, the forum cynic returns...

Post by Jim »

...and you certainly haven't changed much.

You leave, claiming we're a boring bunch of idiots of one mindset, and that you're better off not "wasting your time" here. You complain and roll your eyes (literally) at everything is said here, complaining about such stupid things as the number of sticky threads of "inane giggles."

What's wrong? Did the Opa-Age forums you said you were going to (in your big goodbye thread, which is, of course, acceptable to you if YOU created it) not provide you with enough entertainment for your sick little mind? After all, with topics ranging from morgue photos to "faggot ass pussyriffic self-hating liberals", how can you possibly go wrong?! Or could no forum stand your sarcastic comments, stupid complaints, or general lack of care?

You leave this place under the very same reasons you've returned. If you're really "wasting your time", then why are you here? Certainly there must be a "better" forum that you can spend time with? Or, *gasp* real people?! Did you not find somewhere else to go that shares your interests, and maybe even your loathing of everything that surrounds you?

You come here and almost immediately, you're back to complaining about it. You insult the people here, whether its an ex-serviceman or a homosexual, nobody is safe from your childish banter. Like Brent said, if you don't like it, there's a little X in the corner that'll fix it for you.

You claim that we're judging you when you can't even step back and realize that you're doing almost nothing BUT judging the people here. Mike's gay, so he must obviously be a child predator with sick sexual fantasies. Brent makes a post late one night looking for guidance, and you find it sickening. JCOS makes a post regarding 9/11, and you jump on him for "dwelling in the past."

I feel sorry for you, really. Someone who acts like this won't make it very far in life. You may eventually find out that people won't give a damn about someone who won't give a damn back. You'll find it very lonely, if you already haven’t done so. I had two friends that were quite like you in more than a few ways, which is why I'm making a special point of this. Guess what? I don't bother with them any longer, and no surprise, nobody else does either.

You'll go further into your little cave, blaming the world we live in and the people that inhabit it. You'll claim you got a raw deal and that life's been hard for you, and meanwhile, everyone has a silver spoon dangling out of their mouths. Of course its not your fault, how could that be? It must be someone else, anyone but yourself. After all, you are always right and people should always listen to your point of view, even if you don't give a damn about anyone else's.

You seem like an angry kid, and you probably need to learn a little more about life before anyone will feel comfortable talking to you. You may be 18 or something, but you certainly don't act like it. Maturity goes a long way, and guess what, you haven’t displayed (to us, at least) what little maturity you may have. You certainly don't have to listen to what I say, or what anyone else says for that matter. If you want to label everyone a "cocksmoking faggot", then that's your choice. Either way, you'll probably want to at least learn to function with other people, or you will spend the rest of your life alone.

Sorry if it seems like I'm ranting or attacking, but I felt the need to say certain things. Of course, you'll retort that I "missed the point again" and ignore everything, but that's your choice. My choice was to post this, and I'm sure at least a few people would agree (afterall, it must be the "evil singular mindset" if everyone is annoyed at the same pest). :p

You wrote all that for me? Aside from its gross inaccuracy, I'm touched...

Anyways, OA is currently a mess. Opa posted the goatse.cx picture on a christian ezboard so they banned all his accounts, including the forums master account. Now a rogue admin has de-admined everyone else and the community has become divided. Fear not, everything will be up and running again soon, and I will leave once again.

Lay the **** off JZ!!!

You have absolutely no right to be trying to point out his faults to anyone on the board. If you don't like what he has to say, then there's a little button called, 'ignore'.

He has as much right to post his opinions and ideas on this board as you do. And if he does it without personal attacks (A-HEM), then he can stay.

At any rate, don't flame a member - any member - until you know them well enough to make an informed judgment.

Thanks.
So trade that typical for something colorful, and if it's crazy live a little crazy!

Like I said, I'm not judging any more than what is natural. Don't know a person well enough?

http://forums.speedguide.net/search.php ... erid=15117

Read all you want, and if you still feel that way after almost 1000 posts of this crap, then that's your opinion as well. Let me have mine. I've never been one to flame, or even state my opinions, even if I have strong ones in certain cases.

Like I said, I'm reacting to his online persona, which may or may not be the "real Jz". Either way, I don't care. The simple fact that it takes two clicks to read his posts is evidence enough.

Just so, the way to deal with such trolling is to simply reply that "that's nice!" or "that's so cute!" something which ignores and dismisses the troll.

The troll will then of course try to spin up the argument claiming that you have no argument etc. Again, this tries to move the attention back to the troll and force everyone else to pay attention to their antics.

Like a mouse in a maze they will try and push the same button to get the peanut. In this case attention is the peanut.

So, take away the peanut. Let them know that only thoughtful posts from them will merit a response. This will get them to post more thoughtfully because in the end, they don't care about the argument itself.

They want the peanut.

They want your attention.

It is up to you to decide whether you will give them what they want on their terms. Or yours.

something my dad used to say.....

"don't cry when you become a victim of your own actions".

why a person would return to a place where all respect for them has been lost is beyond me.

and Paft, don't get me wrong. you are a good guy, and i respect you. jz soiled his own bed, and now he has to sleep in it.

Pretty sound advice, I didn't know how to tell Paft my feelings so I said nothing because I do respect him, he EARNED it and you said what I was feeling, thanks :D I knew there was a simple way around it...lol

I once looked for happiness on the internet oh-foolish-one. The result was meeting a wonderful young woman I am still with to this day (that was over two years ago). If you could see past your immature ego, perhaps even you could find such happiness..

gracias, EA. my being concise is termed a "monumental achievement". i tend to blabber a point to death most of the time.

and as far as seeking happiness on the internet......

we all look for some level of gratification/happiness in whatever we do. what's the alternative?....... seeking unhappiness? though we may not be looking to the internet to placate our soul, we still devote whatever time, no matter how small, towards looking for positive things and feelings.

You know jz, i've only been a member here for a short while yet i noticed that all you do is critize,annoy and mock. Someone posts a comment, you add and anti-comment. Someone posts something positve, you gotta add a negative. I remember reading about a member getting a new job, evryone here congratulated that person and wish them luck, happiness and much success, you on the other hand sh!tted on their parade. It was tho you was jealous that they got a great job. i finally realized you do this kind of crap to evryone. To me that's very immature and it shows you have the mentality of a baboon on pcp. If it wasn't for the mods, and the respect i have for my fellow speedguiders, i would tell you in other words. I will say this: people like you live a very, very unhappy, dark, soulless and shallow life and existence.Much like a circus freak in a cage while the public just gawks at the mere sight of of the hidious little insect that you are and you know what?, you really annoy me.With that childish attitude and lack of respect towards others, its not a wonder nobody wants to have a friendship with you much less a relashionship. I hope they find a drug that will will take all your pain and hatred away. Btw, maybe you can have a one on one session with Dr kavorkian, he'll fix you right up!
