Holy crap...woah. Just woah.
Generally acceptable? It's a forum. Opinions are tolerated, not necessarily accepted.
Actually, even by you saying they're tolerated is attempting to force people into reading or listening to whatever opinions you may have. Thats where I believe you have the understanding of what an "opinion" is, as completely misunderstood.
You see, by what I've read of your take on this issue. You feel your opinion should be listened to, and tolerated as your own. Which in fact, I don't have to do anything regarding you or anything you say. Furthermore, I could very well take every bit or wording you say and completely forget every bit of it the second I'm done reading it to myself.
So don't for one second fool yourself into thinking your opinion matters. Because believe me when I tell you, its only worth something when someone wants to see it that way.. but it means nothing until someone wants it to. (yourself not included)
No, no one did anything to me. But just because they didn't direct something at me doesn't mean I can't get pissed off about it, does it? Well, it shouldn't. And if I'm not allowed to state my opinion on it, negative or not, I would have left long ago.
Actually thats a perfect example of why you really shouldn't. To be upset at a singular issue or more is one thing. To voice an outrage of 'said' issue is another. To openly repeat yourself as if you felt the first 20 plus times you posted your opinion, dispite the fact it fell on deaf ears, or rather in this case.. blind eyes, went unnoticed or even uncared for.. is where you're treading.
You see, this once again falls under the fact that you randomly have the misunderstanding that your opinion needs to be heard, and until someone accepts it for your opinion, and remembers it.. you'll repeat it time and time again. When the truth is, as said before.. an opinion, including your own, means nothing until someone wants it to. (yourself, again, not included)
I choose to not show my emotions, because I honestly don't feel like people want to, or need to hear them. That, and I don't have any fucking emotions for people I have never and will never meet in my life and only converse with over the internet. I'm irritated by reading some things. That's it. I show those emotions because I feel like it. My right as much as anyone elses. Those are the only emotions I show, because I do not see the point in pretending I actually want you people to know something about me.
I'm almost sure the emotion you're showing right now is distain. Furthering that, I'm sure the emotion you've shown in the past is anger, and outrage. You're in some type of depressive state in which you apparently feel the need to take it out on selective issues, or everything in general sight.
To the best of my abilities at understanding this.. I'd say more or less, since you've been targeting "e-love/internet love" so much. That you likely lost a love yourself. And since in your own mind you could feel that if this world was so cruel to take that love away.. then you don't understand how anyone else is entitled to 'said' types of love, so you simply want to dispise and hate on those subjects.
You people can share all the emotions you want. However, I have a general disgust that people can be so absorbed in the internet that they start treating people they have never met as if they are infatuated with them, but that's just me. Note that I have never once said 'No one should do *insert general internet act*'. I have always said something along the lines of 'it's absolutely ridiculous/pathetic that people do *insert general internet act*'. Because it is. But does that mean you have to believe that? It's not logic at all. It's an opinion.
If I said simply put.. "no it isn't." Then I guess that would single handedly defeat your opinion, by countering and matching it then. So theres no more need for you to continue to beat a dead horse and run your mouth.
I respect your opinions on being naive (in my mind) on the subject. I accept and understand that you're far too young to be fully capable of seeing what everyone else regarding subjects of these matters could possibly see. (again, in my mind) Finally.. I'm fully open to listening, even time and time again, as you ramble countlessly over the same crap.. dispite it not doing any bit of good.
Because I respect a person for their opinion and what they believe.. but what I don't respect, are people who feel that their opinion in indeed some type of 'fact.' Which in your mind, is what you blatantly do indeed believe.
While you may not be telling anyone not to.. its only because you aren't completely stupid enough to think you could. I'm more than sure you've wanted to, time and time again, however.
You can be dramatic over the internet? Didn't quite know that. There's lots of things I apparently don't see that occur over the internet...infatuation...emotion...
You can indeed. Its a trait you're pulling off quite well right now.
Hmm, if you took it that I didn't want to 'associate' with people over the internet, you have my beliefs wrong. I don't want to go into detail about my life with people over the internet. I don't want to go into personal issues. I don't want to hear people go on with a bunch of sexual innuendo and blatant bullshit stories. I don't want to read about people being infatuated with people they've never met. I want to state my opinion and hear others. That's why I signed up.
Then don't and please shut the hell up, by all means. Because simply due to you not wishing to openly express any emotions toward people you haven't met. Simply due to you not wanting to share your life, be it false stories (as you put it) or otherwise.. then you don't have to..
However that doesn't mean to say everyone else has to follow your belief on the issue, or listen to it more than once. When I'm pretty sure all thats needed is to say something once. If it means anything to anyone, they'll listen and reply. If it doesn't.. then you'll find yourself wasting time, energy and more or less sense.. in posting over and over.
What I'll kindly suggest to you.. is that you type all your distain down. Save it to a file. And when you feel the need to repeat yourself, just open, copy and paste. Saves time, energy and the need to readdress in different words what will come out the same way.. as utter and complete nonsense & naive behavior.
Already said that an emotion I feel was distaste at posters on this board and the things they post. That's it. I show that emotion. That's not a lie. Saying 'lol' in response to a post I utterly just get irritated at reading is not the truth. No, I don't think I must. But I do. It's the internet...for the 1000th time.
I'm going to quickly point out the contridicting behavior you're showing right now. It wasn't but a mere couple quotes up in which you said you didn't show emotion over the net. It was also a couple quotes up in which you said you didn't want anyone to know of your personal life.
Yet you show emotion within this. And you give your opinion, which shows people a glimpse into your personal life.
Finally, you're 100% correct. It is indeed the internet.. and its inhabited by millions, if not billions of "users". Which means you aren't always going to come into contact with everyone who agrees with you completely. So may I kindly suggest you relearn and understand that better, so you might be capable in the future of grasping the concept that someone else, that isn't you, might just feel differently toward a subject.. even one as "outrageous and foolish" as love through the internet.
This is the next Generation, Spiral, people meet more safely and regularly over the internet than they do in public forums such as bars, and sporting events. I'd rather take the time (monthes, even years) in getting to assume I know a random stranger over the internet.. than meet someone in a bar, in a matter of a couple minutes and believe that the situation of them lying to me could be any different.
I badmouth things I see because they are to my eyes...wait for it...
Complete and absolute utter tripe that people should really grow out of.
You said it yourself. I think its time you decided to grow up.
If I'm meant to ignore it, that would be hiding my opinion. Something I didn't sign up to do.
No, there is a difference between hiding your opinion.. and simply moving on, beyond something you as well as everyone else already knows you dislike.
But instead, you crave attention for some reason right now. So because of that, you feel the undying need to post 30 times within a single thread, about how much you have a girl or boy who could ever have the assumption that internet relations could be real. Or sporting conversation in pointless threads are on going in a section of a forum, that has very limited rules.
I have a general distaste, because 90% of people on this board post things that I don't want to read. I liked the way the board used to be. When it didn't have people commenting on other people's looks, and didn't have ass-kissing, and when I used to be able to enjoy it. Maybe it has something to do with my life now, but this board isn't the same.
I'm more than willing to think it has everything to do with your life right now. And furthermore, I see this as you crying out to get that out of your system.. so by all means, publicly as you seemingly like to do.. or privately as would be fine by me.. please.. vent.
And you're 100% correct, in that things are not how they used to be. Spiral, thats simply because life does not stop for you if you stop yourself. This is something I'm very knowledgable in.. you see, if you feel life has done you wrong, and you just wish to stop to figure out why.. why things had to happen badly to you.. life doesn't stop and wait for you.
You aren't special. You're a single individual in a world full of individuals. Your problems and issues are minor, no matter how ingulfing they are to you, compared to that of everyone else in this world. Spiral, its common to expect the world, God (if you believe) and anyone else to just simply "stop" and wait for you to repair your broken life.. but it doesn't work that way.
Simply put.. you stop.. you get left behind. Life won't wait for you, just because you don't like the hand you got dealt.
The 10% of people who have a civilised opinion and entertain me is enough to keep me here. Don't for one second think that I think it's a big deal that I 'choose to stay here'.
I love how you openly disrespect me by claiming only 10% of people on this forum could randomly be civilized when the fact is, every single individual on this forum (including Leore) can and could be civilized. Its all in whether they want to be. Whats "civil" to you, might not be to me.
'Hurtful sayings'...oh god...please be a joke.
As shocking as it may sound.. sometimes you can randomly say things that could effect someone you've never met, or never wished to meet. As unreal as it seems.. believe it or not, you could honestly be hurtful or disrespecting in the text you type.. because when it all boils down to it..
Everything you text, type, write, whatever.. its afterall.. your opinion. And while noone can, needless to say, or even should attempt to change it.. that doesn't mean it couldn't hurt.
What don't I have the slightest clue about? The fundementals of having a "relationship" with someone you will never meet? Should I read up on that one? Or should I study the 'Intricacies of homosexual erotica and innuendo'?
Just to put your mind at ease, or possibly even send it into overdrive.. I've successfully met several individuals over the internet. As unreal and hard to believe as that may be.. it is fully possible, I completely assure you.
I've found a love over the internet. I've spent real life time in love's arms, from someone I found over the internet. I've found several people I deem as good friends, whether who they are is real or not.. its real to me, and what I choose to believe.
