People are Incredibly Rude

[Necrophage]

Ok, just a little rant I guess. And maybe this should go somewhere else but I chose to put it here.
I've looked all around FFR, on the forums and replies to forums and even replies to the posts the FFR Big Guys make on the front page. People are just downright rude. Someone on this forum posted something, asking about why FFR wasn't working and if it was only that person's computer. The first post, rather than someone trying to help that person was someone saying 'Shouldn't this go somewhere else?' Yeah, maybe it should. But who really cares? All they wanted was some help y'know.
Another thing that really pisses me off, and I'm gonna go copy and paste this one...

you guys scare tha shiit out of mehh

that’s so ****iin’ dumb

Without those people we wouldn't be here, we wouldn't be posting, and we wouldn't be playing FFR. You should show them some damn respect, like them or not.

These are just the first two I've seen today, although there have been others...many, many others. People...stop being rude, ok? If people were to try and get along rather than be complete and total dicks to one another human civilization would be far more advanced than it is today.

babiie_munchkin58 looks like a *** and a half.

Most of the time you see this kinda stuff in 'The Garbage Bin' and it's ussually just people joking around. Generally...this forum does nothing but joke around.

[Chymp]

Thank you for that.

Yeah, get used to it. Expect about 20% serious replies and 30% rude replies. In general, don't take the internet too seriously. I either just laugh at the rude people or ignore them.

agreed, people are just taking advantage of the fact that they won't see the person they're talking to anyways, who knows, could be a ten year old telling someone to _ _ _ _ off

What are the other 50% of replies? lol

And I agree, although I may joke around with people at times and it seems rude, I make sure and let them know. But on the forums I make sure not to joke too much unless the thread's not serious. I don't like when people post plain "wrong section" and don't bother to help anybody. It's close enough to spam to me.

Cheers,
Rayje (I always wanted to do that)

Yea pretty much... if you wanna send me a PM about it we can talk some more... but pretty much if you state any opinion anywhere NEAR this site, people will take the opposite side, and be rude in talking to you about it... same goes for vid chat. (No doubt it has to do with all the hormones in us teens...)

[Necrophage]

Its ridiculous, y'know? People just have to find something to be rude about, mostly grammar. Thats something that seems to be a big deal around here. if you aren't a friggin' english professor then you're stupid, is what I'm reading.
Hrm. Einstein...flunked. Just so all of you "OMGZ my mom is an english professor you put a comma where it doesn't belong so I'm smarter than you" people know.

I just think that everyone should take a deep breath, take hold of their neighbor's hand, and try to make a better place of the world. Not to sound like a hippie or anything, 'cause I'm not. I just believe in the advancement of the human race to its fullest potential before we all wipe each other out over religious differences or callin' someone's momma fat.

Okay, I've worn this out. If anyone wants to have a rude comment free intelligent conversation let me know. Oh, and check out my...kinda poem called freedom fighter. I'm gonna go see where I post things like that.

No way bro my neighbors are all old and hate young people... Well most of them


But I agree. You can't be angry and happy at the same time (Unless maybe you just beat some dude up or other given circumstances) and all people seek is happiness, so why life life angry?

Yep people around here are strict on gramaar. Not in profile/radio chat though.

You're reading way too much into people's words here if you think that's what they're saying.

I just think that everyone should ... try to make a better place of the world.

That's what I'm trying to do when I try to get people to use better orthography.

Nobody really cares about grammar unless it's illegible, it's a really silly mistake (usually if it changes the context), the person should know better by then (here's a shout-out to Guido, Squeek, and Firefox 2.0 for getting me out of bad grammar/spelling habits <3), or if the person posting makes a big deal about their own grammar.

If you're referring to us being mean to fido, well then, he's guilty of the 4th on that list.

Complaining about minor typos is silly. Hell even I do it, I just did a few posts ago. And nobody here ever complains about not using the shift key--hell half the time we don't use it (although usually for sarcasm or due to not being serious) and I know someone irl who doesn't like bad grammar/spelling who NEVER uses shift (I don't know exactly how well her grammar is though, I don't care so I don't pay attention).

You should use good grammar/spelling, but at the same time you shouldn't complain when someone uses bad grammar/spelling. It's a thing relating to mutual respect and mutual courtesy. Hell I wrote an essay about that kind of stuff before, it was awzummm 8)

Even though i probably havent gone thru some of this as much as you guys but Ive seen most of the way how people act towards one another dont want to bring it up but take Novacaine as an example he just goes off on people for no reason actually i remembered when I re joined FFR after i had quit for a couple of months i entered Mp and he just goes off saying sh!t to me for no damn reason sorry for the use of profanity but enough with him I just think the people who do this to others to bring them down or to hurt them just want the attention because they cant gain it from actually being nice so they go down as to being racist or discrimanation and such idk i think im getting a little bit ahead of myself im not used to thinking like this that much

[Wlfwnd91]

The reason grammar is such a big deal on this forum is because it's such a popular site and it attracts loads of n00bs. "cing ppl typ lyk dis getz anoyin ya no?" Basically, we just want to comprehend what you're saying. And a comma can make a sentence mean something completely different which is why you might see people mention it.

IE:

I don't want to bitch.
and
I don't want to, bitch.

Anyone who knows grammar will be able to tell what each means and why the comma changes it completely.

[Shashmakito]

Welcome.

Now stfu and go to the GB.

[Rayje655]

Yeah okay i agree with u on that there are alot of people who do ''typ lyk dis'' but most of those people are the ones that start to judge and offend, insult,etc. with other people I think most of us who do use proper grammar dont need to put up with sh!t like that

Uh, you're part of a group which uses proper grammar? Your last post was seven lines without a single punctuation mark (aside from the one you used to evade the swear filter). Seven lines of a run-on sentence. We ask that people use good grammar to avoid stuff like that. I couldn't even finish reading your post because I got lost due to the complete absence of grammar. People need to be ragged on for bad grammar so that this doesn't become a prevalent problem.
