Dealing With Haters

So under that premise any publicity is good publicity? Originally Posted by pyramider

If you have great pics and fabulous reviews then they start to wonder. Why is there such hate? And 9 times out of 10 they realize the mathematical equation. But they saw your showcase and read reviews because of the hate... (Advertisement!!)... and then they want to book. After they experience your great BCD romp.. then sometimes they write reviews.. soon everyone forgets why the hater was even hating. This was proven just these past 2 weeks! And as I shop, Ill thank my haters.

Look at Michael Jackson. He got all kinds of free advertisement when he had charges against him... bad publicity.... lead to epic high sales for his music.
Britney Spears- BAD publicity.....her name all over the place and slammed with negativity from haters..... lead to epic sold out concerts.

Now back to hobbyland- haters dont ruin your reputation.. they are free advertisement. What ruins your reputation is history of NCNS, alerts of violence or theft..

Anyone who thinks that I am a hater is mistaken and should understand that whatever hatred they harbor only does harm to themselves.

No sense throwing a liar and a hypocrite on top of hating.

. . . Finally, you do not have to meet anyone in person to get an idea of their personality. I get a good handle quickly on just about everyone after hearing them talk or read their posts.

Don't you understand that all personality types have different versions of what is and isn't evil?

Are you sure you are not Laureen Summerhill evil twin? You two sound just alike. Special people with special powers is you two.

Just curious, why'd you leave her board in a huff?

If everyone gets to name their own evil the extrapolation to the 1,000th power is there is no evil in the world, and we all know that’s not true. Nazis didn’t think the Final Solution was evil; we can go down hill form there.

Love and hate is the same emotion on opposite ends of the continuum. Originally Posted by charlestudor2005

Moral Relativity is really an advanced form of evil.

There is evil in this world, but it is often disguised or rationalized.

The Nazis were filled with hatred and misguided as a result which should be a lesson to the world on how not to conduct a government.

. . . It is incredible to me that in this day and age, there are many who still worship Hitler and create white supremacy cults based on hatred of other races.

Exactly and while they're talking, you're making money.

. . .

You make one little innocent slip and all hell breaks loose!

Now, I think there will always be haters and there is nothing much you can do about it, but give them room if possible or be prepared to stand your ground if they give you no other option.

The worst folks IMHO are the ones that can not see their own potential for evil.

Folks like you.

I know damn good and well I can be evil. It isn't my nature but human nature is slanted towards evil.

Survival of the fittest. I'm sure you have heard of that.

Tell me again why you quit that board? I musta missed it the first time

There seems to be a class of people who are born primarily to hate and they spew their venom indiscriminately.

Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler were haters of the highest degree, but they never even realized that they were the problem and would not hesitate to have you killed if you so much as alluded to such a thing about them.

To haters, the world is the problem. They believe they are completely justified in reacting with hatred trying to straighten out the wrongs of the world, but in fact they are only polluting themselves and the world around them. Others learn to behave in similar fashion from them.

That is what makes the continual spread of hatred so puzzling to me. Some of these world-class haters are actually very intelligent in other areas, but totally blind to their own obsession with hatred.

Sadly, I do not think you can convert them anymore than you can teach a scorpion not to sting!

The threads that make up our human nature are two ended. There is no capacity for feeling pride without an equal capacity for feeling shame. One cannot feel joy unless one can also feel despair. We have no capacity for good without an equal capacity for evil. For what is evil, but the self seeking to fulfill it's own secret needs. All that is necessary is that we face it and choose.

For Germans to not see the Final Solution as evil doesn’t make un-evil. To the contrary, it makes it even more evil if an entire nation of people would turn a blind eye to something that is so obviously wrong. I’ll bet if you asked the average German about the Final Solution they would either look at you like they didn’t know what you were talking about or go along with the party line.

To summarize: I do think there is evil in the world. I do not think it is relative. I do think Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and the like are evil in the purist form. And it is everywhere. Not in everyone, but one just need look around to find it. And I do not think "haters" are necessarily evil.

If everyone on the planet was a Hitler clone, would his ideas about exterminating Jews (who at this point would be mythical because everyone on the planet is just like Hitler) be evil?

Poor Hitler, always the bride never the bride"s maid when it yurns to evil! Wakeup you know better than to asl people that see in black and white , gray questions. You're just evil for doing so...

Some of you people really can be funny....evil, oh please.

Are there stupid events, ignorant people, and down right wrong people both here on Eccie and around us....of course....but evil, oh please.

Take a look at some of the video coming in from Syria, like the one with the kid, already orphaned, covered with blood (his own) and trapped under huge stones...and the poor kid is alive and conscious... what put him there is evil.

Or go down, tonight, to your local city hospital ICU or emergency and look at folks who have suffered as a result of some violent and evil jerk.

That shit is evil...99% of the stuff talked about in this thread, does not even come closed to be evil....get a clue people!!!
