Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Son, we need to have a talk.
ImRonBurgundy?:
I should change it, I know.
Dazed:
I'm still pretty new here, and thus far I don't think anyone's really bitten my head off. I do notice people being a little touchy sometimes, but I think that's pretty much par for the course with people, whether in meat life or on the tubes. Not a huge deal at all, imo.
Eris:
I swear this was brought up in either one of Kieffer's threads or Clara's thread. There is this thing that people are a bit harsh to new people, or people who frequent the WCTs/General Discussion. New threads have been shat on a lot. It was brought up and people agree we should do something abotu the clique-y stand-offishness of the place.
Yes, people need to remember that there is a thing called "fun". That was definitely brought up in Clara's thread. I don't really see why Patrick needed to start a thread telling us how we are all arseholes that can't take a joke, because we kind of already covered this? I am generally the kind of person who tries to be nice to everyone and give them a chance and all that palaver, but even then I will still jump on a bandwagon or call someone new an idiot on occasion. It's something that I know and feel a little bad about afterwards, but hell, we're all human. This thread seems like Patrick getting annoyed at something little and deciding to make sure we all knew he was annoyed (but that is just my reading of the situation, please don't yell at me if I have gotten it wrong, ok?).
Eris:
Also, here is my mug
It is too hot for tea, though.
Patrick:

What about the people who don't, and just think he is being a dick? Are you saying we should just ignore everybody who is offended by the way somebody treats them? I am not saying that James is going around being a dick. Quite to the contrary, I honestly like the guy. I'm saying that there is no reason for him to defend dickery for dickery's sake.
--- Quote from: Jeans on 02 Feb 2009, 13:16 ---Patrick if this is your idea of not being a dick to people we don't know then honestly I don't think your word holds a lot of weight in this argument.

Man, I qualified myself as having made a joke not 3 posts down and they still would not accept it. And when people act pissy at me despite me trying to explain myself, yeah, I go on the defensive. Thanks for your time. (see what I did there? I did it again. I AM SO SELF-FULFILLING I COULD SURVIVE ON MY OWN SHIT FOR A DECADE)
Also, for Tommy: that doesn't answer the question, nor does it solve the problem. Working hard at building a new building is just going to leave the shitty old ones crumbling, and it's going to leave a lot of people homeless. Refusing to address the problem seems to be born out of pure laziness and an unwillingness to sacrifice people's respect. I know you've got cool-kid status, so you've got plenty to lose by pissing people off (which is why I am doing it, because I know nobody gives a shit whether I come or go). But man, if you're going to sit around while the other cool kids go around pissing in the preschoolers' lunches, you are just as bad as they are.
(Hannah your assessment is not inaccurate, but it is only half accurate. Yeah, I overreacted by starting an entire thread, but honestly, it only gets half-discussed and nothing ever comes of it, and the same shit keeps happening despite it)
