They've got to STOP people. I've been noticing a lot of it lately. I usually keep quiet and stay out of things when they get heated but I'm through standing on the sidelines. No snarky comments. I'm gonna tell you guys what my mom has told me for years: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Also, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. They're like buttholes, we all have one lol. Most everyone here has always gotten along well with each other..I'd like to see it stay that way. This is the longest I've ever been a member of any forum. I love it here.

I'm not naming any names here, but I can think of a few right this second that need to slow their roll, so to speak.

That's all I have to say. Thank you for taking a second to read this.

PS: We've had a few members from another forum join because of pretty much the same going on. Let's try and show them that we're better than that lol.
 
I'm willing to believe you but first you've got to tell me what exactly did you "like" about VP's post in the religion thread. Obviously, I may be talking crap some times like many other people in this world but a picture that its only purpose is to call me and my opinions foolish without any arguments at all is plain rude and the last thing that I would call it is constructive criticism.. Not to mention that it is against the rules (imo), as I take it as an insulting comment.
 
Just because I "like" a certain post..doesn't necessarily mean that I like the whole thing. And I'm sorry, but I'm not going to get into that here. If you really think I have a problem with your opinions then you can pm me.

I will say that I have not one problem with anyone's opinions here. I have no right to. I'm sorry that I offended you, I didn't mean to at all darlin'...

Ahhhhhh, so it all makes sense now.

Fallen, the picturei posted on that thread was not directed at you. You're obviously one of these people who think that just because something appears directly under your post, it's a reply to you. Not so, if i have something to say to someone directly, i'll quote them.

Your opinions,(valid or not ) just aren't important to me enough for me to start insulting you over the internet, sorry, but i've a life, i simply don't have the time to sit on REN and start trouble and get all '' offended ''

Take it, leave it, do whatever you want with it, but i'd strongly advise you, and others of a similar disposition, to get over it.

I'll make this clear one last time.

If i have a problem with someone, i'll quote them directly and engauge them.... when i don't quote someone, it means i'm talking in general.......i can't believe i'm having to explain this on an internet forum, but hey ho.

laters.

Really? Really now? That sucks.. Man.. i've been trying to figure out what exactly did I say that was stupid all this time.. And all this for nothing?? Damn me and my insecurities :(

There were only two posts between that post of yours and your previous one in that thread. I thought one of these two posts made you post the pic - because you could have posted it two posts ago. The one didn't seem too important -it was just a sentence- so the only one that left was mine..

*Sigh* Sorry then. Damn I feel so stupid now. I'll just ask next time. I thought it was too obvious.
 
I too have noticed quite a few arguments going on lately. Occassionally i have to restrain myself so as not to join in lol.

We, as a community, need to respect eachother's opinions. Obviously people are going to disagree, but there's no need to argue over it. By all means, discuss how your own opinion differs, but personal attacks are just unnecessary.

Also, in topics that pay respects to the recently deceased, people need to be respectful and know that it's hardly the time or place to post potentially hurtful comments regarding the manner in which the person died. For example, someone being killed in a car crash due to driving recklessly. Sure, driving recklessly is extremely stupid no doubt, but it's best not to say how stupid the person was in a topic intended to pay homage to somebody that may be related in some way to a member. It's called being tactfull. Go and make a new topic about the dangers of driving recklessly if you want, but leave it out of that particular topic.

I know, having been on this forum for three years now, that the people here are generally lovely, very nice people. I don't mean at any point in this post to offend any members and i hope people don't view this as a personal attack itself on any members, i'm merely stating what i think the problem we're experiencing is related to.

Tl;dr: Let's be nice to people and respect eachother's views :)
 
Heh, *whistles* awkward...

Anyway, good job trem trem. Good to see people solving their differences. And yes, let's respect everyones buttho... I mean, opinions. :) Sorry, you just had me thinking about it. :P
 
I Think That A_Wesker Is Right. We All Need To Respect Each Other Opinions. There Are People Here That I May Not Always Agree With But I Still Respect Their Opinion, Whether It's Valid To Me Or Not, As Best As I Can And If I Disagree With It Then I Keep It To Myself.

I Feel That I Should Also Add That We Shouldn't Add Snarky Comments Or Mock Each Other Because What Makes This Forum Great Is The Fact That We Are A Family Of Sorts And We Don't Want To Become As Bad As Some Other Places, Also Tremor Said In An Earlier Post That If You Don't Have Anything Nice Or Constructive To Say, Don't.

I wouldn't worry about it,

You will know when i've Fallen out with you * pun intended *

It was a Christian thread so i posted something of a Christian nature that i thought was cute and light hearted.

What i've learned and experienced over the years has lead me to understand that what i know is the truth to me, there-fore, i need not rise to any challenge or get hot and bothered whenever someone questions myself,my motives or my religion, as it's the truth, and anything other than a light heart would smack of bitterness and frustration with not only me, but my religion, but luckily i am at peace with most things in life, so i'm not one for resorting to sly digs, racism,or being judgemental lol, even though without judgement, we'd have no justice system, but whatever.

I'll say this once more and this goes for all.

Unless my posts directly quote you, then my posts will not be about you...that's so everybody knows where i'am coming from.

As for the earlier charge of me being Anti American........

I'll forever have a wry smile on my face from this day onwards, as i drive through the Scottish Highlands, in my (Ford ) As the ( Goodyear ) tyres Grip and hold onto the curves of bonnie Scotland as i make my way up and down the hills. As i drive i recieve a phone call, a phone being invented by a Scotsman but made in Boston, if memory serves me right

....It's an invitation to grab a bite to eat, so contiue i go, through the endless fields of heather and there i pull up under the yellow lights of (McDonalds), i sit and enjoy a bigmac with a friend, before eventually heading home, but i take the urban route where i pass a memorial that stands tall and proud without blemish,that is dedicated to all those who fell during world war II,where a reef is laid under the long list of American soldiers. Reminds me of a time when my grandad used to pay homage to the people he simply called his friends. I decide the radio is much to mundane so i flip through a list of artist before coming to my fave of all bands, Click the button, settle in my drivers seat, and enjoy what is to unfold into my ears,


I pull up outside my house, throw my keys onto the counter, as i then draw a glass out from the cuboard and pore myself a nice big chilled glass of (Coke Cola) ( as The Irn Bru hasn't come to a chill yet ) head upto my room and close the door and hang up mycoat which drapes beside a poster of (Uma Thurman)...Flick on the (internet) and post on REN, with my wry smile still in tact,as i compliment myself on being a narrow minded, bigoted,racist who has small man syndrome.......





God bless America.

*sigh* I try to be helpful around here yanno? Haha...my interwebz family - as dysfunctional as we are :p

And I see what you did there ;)
 
Great topic with some great points made. We can all benefit ourselves if we decide to be honest with ourselves, and each other. If we disagree about something in particular, and if we couldn't settle the problem, the best route we could take would be "Agree to disagree" Lane.

And that's what it all boils down to. So everyone, go out into the world, get yourselves laid and don't come back 'til you do. :p

Did you know:
9 out of 10 steakhouses use A1 Sauce in America?
9 out of 10 dentists agree with some kind of toothpaste or toothbrush or something?
9 out of 10 members won't be coming back :P
 
If i may...i don't think there are many INTENTIONAL personal attacks here...but other people getting offended by making a mistake in interpreting what was said...for example, Silverback and I had a disagreemen awhile ago (Which has long since cleared up, so don't think i'm trying to go into a beef with him or something) and i was accused of intentionally offendinghim...i honestly wasn't trying to, and we understand that now...sometimes people get defensive over other peoples posts because it feels personal to them..but its an internet forum lol...seriously guys, there is gonna be some butting heads...what we need to remember is we don't all personally know one another so whats personal for one may be personal for another but in a different way...Another example would be the Dunn post...that post is dead now and for good reason...But Trem, you and i got into a disagreement there...then we found something out about each other...We both have lost someone in a car wreck..same with Wesker is Awesome and Femme...We weren't attacking each other, but we weren't exactly making clear that we meant no personal harm...I think thats were the attacks come from, people not understanding what others are saying is a DIRECT hit on them...of course, there is always the exception...Anyway, i'm also like Trem in that this is the BEST forum i've ever been a part of, so we should keep it that way...WHEN ITS TIME TO PARTY WE WILL PARTY HARD!!
