Connecting Singles Convention I ( Archived) (24)

Although my logic tells me not to jump into arguments where people bash each other, every time I see one on a scale that escalates steadily, I have to state a simple truth:

If everyone's so mad about him "bashing" others via insults and statements...then why return the favor by doing the same to him?

Speaking objectively, and with an open mind, stating that his words could be wrote as bot script, or calling him a "bad" guy simply for expressing his opinion - as rudely as that may be - simply proves that in trying to fight against his cruelty and rudeness, so to speak, the only thing that's being accomplished is that you're "falling to his level", using the phrase loosely.

It's an endless circle, when one person simply goes back and forth with another. All it accomplishes is bringing up anger, frustration, or even hate.

From the viewpoint "outside of the box", as it comes to be, I find it easier to simply ask a person nicely to avoid being "rude" or "obnoxious" (yet again, using the terms loosely), and simply moving on. Not to say that you shouldn't defend yourself if you're being called names or whatnot, but...to be honest, what does it matter?

In the end, when everything's said and done, the words he says - as well as the words said back at him - are simply nothing more than words on a white screen, on a forum that emphasises being nice.

From what I see, for example, on the left hand side of this text box that I'm writing in, there's a list of rules. Might I suggest that we all take a look at rule number #1?

Anyways, that's my two cents, and I'm terribly sorry if this offends anyone. I'm simply choosing to state a simple point.
