How much care really goes into clicking the "view post" button? :P

The ignore function on GameFAQs is the only instance of the system that I think is truly effective, because it completely removes the user's presence. It effectively does censor out the person from the forum for you.

The "ignore" function on vB really does the exact opposite, and highlights the person, because the ignored post sticks out more than a standard one.

See though, but isn't this just the predicament! If I create a nonsensical topic or bump up something old, its met with a resistance and bumhugging. Or here, if I make fun of someone in what I feel is fairly obviously a joking fashion (I am crude, but have I displayed an intent to be outright hurtful? I hope not! Truly, I do!), I see a nice bit of baiting in reply.

Shall I lighten up only where it is deemed appropriate? :P

That's all I'm saying. What you said was obviously a joke, but it obviously struck a nerve with Jonbo. So instead of saying something simple like, I dunno, "I'm sorry" or "sorry didn't know my joke would hurt you that bad," you instead went on and egged him on.

But whatever, it's da internetz, which means free reign to be a dick with no repercussions! MIRITE? MIRITE, GUYZ?

Erm? If he truly found it offensive and wished to block communication with me, there isn't a necessity to publicly inform me or you about it, is there?

Beyond the fact that I would have had no response to make if he had simply used the ignore function as intended and kept it to himself, in theory, I can't egg on someone who really isn't viewing my posts. I also can't apologize, in theory. :P

If he was in fact viewing my post, I stand by the point that ignoring me in the first place was a useless act, and done so only to stir up things.

I do enjoy being a dick. I like to think that I can admit to that pretty freely. I hardly think of myself as unique. You're kind of one too, lol. But I think many of you find a given activity less dickish if it is participated in or held up as okay by others. It is quite easy to be an asshole about something when everyone else is doing the same, and, likewise, easy to explain away your assholish behavior in group-think.

Renwood · 06-20-2008, 05:45 PM

Would you prefer to discuss religion or politics? :P

I think working through our concerns without simply sweeping it under the rug is really more healthy, don't you?

Angrist · 06-20-2008, 06:19 PM

Yeah true. But they're aweful to read if you have nothing to do with it.

Guess I won't read.

well, just for you then, here's a man in a gold leotard riding a flying crocodile

I reiterate, a simple "sorry" or something similar would have done, whether he read it or not.

Oh yes, I like to be a dick many a times, a slightly more light-hearted one though methinks. But that link is not a good example, that was a response to you being a dick -- twice.

Oh and

You'd like me to apologize for something I'm not sorry for? Or, I guess, you actually would like me to be sorry. But I'm not. I don't like to lie. :P

Is it? I think you could find far better examples of me being a dick. No, that was a bit of inebriated honesty. Its truly how I feel. Regardless of what I said though, if you're going to sling around this "don't be a dick" malarky, you probably should take strides not to be one. It just seems a bit hypocritical. "Well, I'm not that bad," but eh, I don't buy that.

Also, if its being a dick to comment after someone brings it back up a page later when we've moved on, well, you have fucked standards for how you apply the dick label. :P
