> You were one of the first people to start stuff like this. Just because you change your nick doesn't give you the right to suddenly take the moral high ground. > > > People, really, is it necessary to come off in such an ignorant, petty, and bastardly way? I don't know if it's an ego trip to smash somebody's idea/log/belief into the ground and stomp on it or what, but it's a constant and very depressing occurance. > > There are those of us who, if we post, really go out of our way to come out smelling like roses while making the person we reply to or whatever look like a flaming turd. Some of us probably use multiple nicknames, one to post relatively serious things with and one to just flame the hell out of people so it's not possible to just not read posts by certain people. This problem is multiplied by the fact that some of you have posted an endless string of N/T flames that one can't help but read. > > There was a psychological survey once that basically concluded that people are often much harsher in what they say when it's over the phone or internet. People tend to be more sympathetic and "nice" when meeting face-to-face. I hope that's the case on this forum, else we're all a bunch of bastards. > > Until next time, take care of yourself, and each other.
> Now sit down and shut up, so that he who is without sin may cast the first stone.
> > It never ceases to amaze me how much animosity and flaming goes on in CarrionFields forums. I really hope that the group of people that frequents this forum isn't a representative sampling of society as a whole.
