I believe that rudeness is a weak mans imitation of strength, and there are just a lot of weak people here that use their anonymity to pretend they have strength. Originally Posted by GbfslTruer words were never spoken.
Some folks just aren't selective on what they read or contribute to in threads. Don't get jaded by what goes on here as far as drama/conflict. Utilize this site for information exchanging and screening, remain in touch with reality and the real world. The board shouldn't consume one's character. Unfortunately, it happens. That's how we get trolls and drama queens. Originally Posted by Eva DamitaVery good post, Eva.

What is really amazing is the fact that the people who have the agendas and such against others, do not know them and many times have not even met them in person, but continue to have this opinion posted as fact about them and really have no idea. There are some members that just have some kind of influence over some of these weak minded people who do not need facts to get told what to think, and that is what the members with agendas are depending upon to create that gang mentality and help further that agenda.
Certainly not applicable to reviews, alerts or often direct questions, but it would eliminate about 90% of the petty bickering. Originally Posted by Iaintliein

I have no doubt that stalkers of my posts will comment below me because they cannot help themselves. Hence the continued festering and growing of drama queens and trolls that Eva was talking about.
There are many frequent poster trolls on this site who, other than their well known agenda, contribute very little if any intel on this info exchange board. A very good example: just look at one of the frequent poster's I am referring to in the last sentence of Luke Skywalker's current signature line. In case he erases it, you have to look at his previous posts in this thread on the previous page, it reads "If you think I'm condescending to you, it is because I think you're a dick head, a person with none or very little intellect and I have no respect for you.". If that is not indictative of the problem the OP is referring to on this site, then I do not know what is. Now, what is the cause of it? well, as ST69 said,
Because some of these guys are just assholes.. And some providers are just straight up cunty. The end.
