getting bashed for having an opinion

[antman]

I've only been a member to the forum for a few days, but I noticed that there are a number of people who completely bash others just because they have a different opinion. I don't mean to sound like a whiner and I hope I don't come across as one. Don't get me wrong. I have had a few positive interactions with people on here, even when we have different views on a given topic. However, it's those people who make those degrading remarks to and about you when you post an opinion that they feel differently about that makes me wonder if I'm wasting my time here. An example-- I made a comment about how I thought Trish was a talented wrestler and I get called a ****** by one person and a dumb@$$ by another. I mean, it's just childish name-calling. It really isnt that huge a deal. My point is that I came here to have intelligent conversations and exchange ideas about wrestling. If all I'm going to get is bad-mouthed and cursed at for having an opinion, maybe this isn't the place for me. The majority of responses I get are negative things like how stupid I am and how my head is up my @$$. I know it's extremely difficult to monitor all the different threads on here. I just feel that kind of stuff isn't necessary. Chances are, people will continue posting those kind of things. I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced anything like this.

Some people think that they are smarter than they are and instead of intelligently debating a topic, they name call because that is the only form of debating that they know.

Antman, I too am a new member. Don't worry, you can always count on having a good conversation with me. I have been a wrestling fan for over 30 years so I know a little about whats going on. Also remeber, when you get childish feedback on opinions you can always count on the offender being just that, a child. So chat at ya later.

I can find alot of reasons TNA is as good as WWE but I don't spam in the wrong forum

 

[HighflyaTNA]

You know you seem like the nerd who crys to the teacher at school when a bully gives u a wedgie listen its USA and FOS is always going to be a factor so just DONT POST SHIT THREADS LIKE THIS ONE!!!!

 

[wrestlingtaker]

I know Gamehead deal with the bully yourself you cry baby

 

[antman]

HighflyaTNA and wrestlingtaker:

Hey, I'm not "crying" like you two claim I'm doing. I'm simply stating the fact. It really isn't that big of deal. I don't lose any sleep at night. I actually think that it's a shame that people can't act like mature human beings. I'm a school teacher and it's sad that some of my 6th graders are more mature and have more respect for people than some people on these forums. As for your comment about me dealing with the "bullies" myself wrestlingtaker, when I did big boy, the last I checked, that had nothing to say about it!

 

[HighflyaTNA]

Dude Shutdafuxup stop your "stating" is getting on my nerves and to tell this if your man you dont care for anyone you dont know!! So Shutdafuxup and shut your pussy while your at it

 

[antman]

WOW! People really get fired up on here. That's fine. I guess I was expecting too much out of this. At least I know what I gotta deal with if I do post on here. I'm not gonna lose any sleep on way or the other. All I did was post an opinion...that IS what message boards and forums are designed for, you know. It's all good. No skin off my nose. Like I said, at least I know what to expect.

To think, people actually wonder why some of the more active posters tend to get banned. They act like this guy and show no respect to anyone.

Of course it was for no reason and since you never contested it when you first noticed that you were banned, you obviously knew that it was legit. God forbid sometime takes responsibility for their actions. :/ Anyway, a lot of people that get banned dont' learn from their mistakes and get banned again. You seem like you want to go back to your more normal posts so keep up the good work.

Suppose that the situation involved a thread concerning TNA misuing a certain wrestler. Suppose that someone were to make the comment that if a particular wrestler were to go to WWE instead, that they wouldn't be misused? (or vice versa) What's so harmful about that? If there's no spamming or flaming involved (this is talking about threads like that in general) then there's really no harm.

What would be wrong with that?

He was right, don't bash TNA in the TNA forum, that's just stupid and childish. Btw, not every childish remark on this forum is by kids, you know!

People have every right to bash TNA in the TNA forum, depending on how they do it. It's a TNA discussion forum not a "you can only post in here if you like TNA" forum. If they're going to be childish and insult fans of a particular fed just for liking,. flame them, or post things with the intent to provoke, that's one thing. That's probably what you're referring to. However, disliking or bashing TNA, WWE, or anything alone isn't a problem as it can lead to interesting discussions, assuming that you guys (not necessarily you specifically) choose to make it one instead of saying "if you don't like TNA or WWE then get out of this forum" like we often see.


What I'm getting at is that posters get annoyed with certain posters for posting certain things in certain places, but how you react can go a long way in making the other posters comments into a great discussion. So essentially you guys (posters in general) tend to go off on others for possibly changing the course of a thread when you yourselves can get involved and turn that course into something worthwhile. Do that and you'll be amazed at how much better each thread can be and how much more you'll enjoy coming here.

Just a tip...just trying to help.

Then what would be the point of posting? Bashing TNA in the TNA sub-forum is not stupid and childish, its a good way to get a debate open. Vice Versa for the WWE forum.. ECW forum.

Everyones entitled to there own opinion, be it bad or good. Not every poster is going to agree with you.

Well, atleast you weren't IP Banned. You'd also be glad the WZ Prison isn't around anymore. It was a good idea awhile back. It was pretty funny seeing some people in there and things they had to say. Also some of the things people did to get out of prison. Wouldn't be bad to bring it back, but not everyone has learned there lesson from it, and sometimes they kept doing the same thing that they were put in prison for. I don't know if it would be in demand to put the WZ Prison back on the WZ Forum, but its not a bad idea. Busted Quad kept the legacy of the WZ Prison alive just with a different name. Some people just don't know when to stop.
