I don't subscribe to the attitude "it's just the internet". Why does being online mean that some keyboard warrior can drop all sense of civility & manners, talk to people like crap & bully or intimidate them from behind the safety of their monitor that they otherwise wouldn't do in real life?

Pretty much this.
I got into a row with someone on here about 1882 and then after a while it was found out that we knew each other and have shared a few beers here and there.
Felt pretty silly calling him names and being a petty prick when he is sound in real life, just had an opinion that I disagreed with. Anyway, thats my epiphony that I had and I won't be rude again to someone online.

I just took you off my Ignore list...you are lucky there is no more room on my avatar, or you'd be heading straight back

:bmj:
Yeah every now and again I unblock you in the vain hope you got your nuts damp with some poor soul and that made you realise that being a cunt is not the way forward.
Apparently your banjo string in unsullied by the human form that is woman though.
 
Well, it doesnt affect you in any way shape or form to be honest. It affects me.

Actually potentially it could. If for example you put me on your shit list, that means I would then be unable to see what you say, taking massive chunks out of threads putting many conversations completely out of context.

Yet they dont put me on ignore?

I tend not to put people on ignore for the reason above.

For example, you came into my thread the other day, and despite it being five pages long, all you proceeded to do was go on about what a pointless waste of time the thread was.

Why? Why not just stay out of it?

Because I couldn't see the point in yet another thread discussing something that had been done to death over the previous two weeks. Just seemed like it was started simply to stir shit up again.

But there we are.
 
Sammy mate it's the fucking internet. You'll never meet us and we'll never meet you. Who gives a fuck. Stop giving a shit and get a fucking hobby. Learn to knit. There's a chill out.
 
I wonder why rep is so important to him? It's just a toy. He takes the internet way too seriously, a fact I pointed out to him in the early days, which is what got me put on his ignore list.

Sammy seems oblivious to the fact that the single common element linking his rather large ignore list, and also his repeated sin binnings, is himself.

This is an open forum where people are free to speak their minds on all many of topics. Sammy wants to have his cake and eat it. He wants to be the big I am who argues to death and insults people left right and centre. But when he gets his own medicine back he wants an echo chamber where everyone agrees. Can't have it both ways. I don't see why he can't just be a man instead of whining like a baby because the forum isn't built exactly the way he'd like it. If he can't stand neg reps maybe he should run away from the board like he did before.

He definately needs a few stress wanks. Or maybe just a beer or two......:vdvhmm:
 
Because they just neg rep every single thing I write....I dont see the replies, but I can see they neg repped my posts, even if its harmless, or constructive.

I would rather they didnt read my posts. Im doing my bit by ignoring people when it gets heated. The decent ones I take off after a bit..(JDK I like, but just seemed to turn on me, and it got silly. I will take him off at some point, but when every post ends up as bitching at eachother, I will just take myself out of the equation. You know that first hand)

I took off Frontwheel the other week, and instantly recieved about 12 neg reps......for normal posts which others had liked or agreed with. Dont see the point, its like they know I cant see them slag me off, so thats the last, desperate attempt for me to notice them.

And Im the troll?

I dont really care about being neg repped by Oreally and Mad Yid for no reason, but if the rep is reset, I dont want to be on -300 simply because some 14yr old doesnt like me.
Stop mentioning that you don't mind being negged by me then I might believe you.
I actually like you as a poster, but you are fucking insufferable when you get a bee in your bonnet. You make so many good points, but you have to realise that no matter how much sense your point makes, it does not mean it is the ONLY point.

BTW, kudos on your new "Pussy Baiting Tactics" book. Any chance of a copy? Could do with some help you know.
 
Using the internet doesn't mean you can abandon a common sense of decency & respect for others, the same that you show for people face to face. By saying "it's just the internet" you're giving them carte Blanche to portray the troll without consequence, you're condoning the troll & I ain't having that. These gutless wonders bully some people to the point... Well I don't need to spell it out.

You're entitled to your opinion but, I personally won't accept the troll as part of the internet experience.
Does your mate Audere agree?

exactly. Sammy is a fuckn massive baby and a cunt to boot lol

I don't have nobody on ignore because then I'd miss sad shit like this :adelol:
 
His logic dictates that when he is arguing in a match thread we should create a new one to discuss the match as that's how we should ignore him. The whole forum is his stomping ground and we are all in the way. No one else will take him in, that's why he's still here.
