Hiding behind Technology

losgauchos  said about 1 year ago  or at  2:57PM on Tuesday, November 13 2007.

The constant threads bashing Modi, Bad Alex, Matt Church, Chris Brimstone etc,etc make me wonder if people would actually say some of the same shit to that person in real life.

The thing about the internet/emails /sms etc is that people can say fucked up things to one another that they normally wouldn't say in person as they feel as if they have a wall to hide behind. In my experience, when someones given me an online serve, they're all coy or pretend nothing at all has happened when you see them in person. I reckon it is fucked, if you have got something to say, say it in person.

Cyberbullying is a big thing in schools now. Although it has a ''Revenge of the Nerds'' kinda a vibe to it as well.

matt church makes heaps of ridiculous threads on inane topics on the internet
i call him on this

he doesn't do this in real life, where he's a meek little lamb who doesn't dare tread outside his house, so why should i need to call him on it in real life ?

hey I tried to curb my shit thread/trolling ways. I deserved shit for my crap threads, I also made some good ones..

I am pretty meek. But not as meek as horse says. It just takes me a bit to get to know people, but when I do I really come to the party. It's hard to get to know a crew online. And I haven't had enough outings with people to really know them, but I know a few nowadays a bit better, just through time, and it's good.


Modi  said about 1 year ago:

I don't think I say anything online that I wouldn't say in real life.

You may see by my the expression on my face (in person) the true intent of the comments, though.

no, not on this site. that quite simply would never happen my friend.


AlterEgo  said about 1 year ago:

not posting inane crap constantly in other peoples threads might set you on the right path too matt.

it seems to me that if you're posting crap just to piss people off, which imo the people you have named do, then people are clearly going to tell them to fuck off and/or bait / bully them.

that said i enjoy a good argue with BA. i don't think he feels like he's being bullied. i think he loves to argue. i think you might find he calls you a knobwrench or a cockneck for saying he's bullied online.

poor al.

yep. i'm a bit more blunt and abrupt on here, but you still can't always see the smile on my face or hear my tone of voice. words alone are never enough to judge somone by.

Your whole argument is stupid. I personally haven't bashed any of these people, except Matt, when he was having a breakdown, but if they said the same things they said in person they probably would get the same reaction they get on this board. It's personality clashing. Sometimes I think there is what you might call gang bashing, which I agree is fucked but otherwise it's instigated to an extent.


FUCK KNUCKLE  said about 1 year ago:

I RECKON MOST OF YOU ARE CUNTS. AND I WOULD TELL YOU IN REAL LIFE. AND THEN I WOULD DRINK A GREEN CAN.


Modi  said about 1 year ago:

It annoys me more the people who sart the threads about those people you mentioned, and it's not because I'm one of them.

Talking about the content of the board is the absolute end of the line as far as discussion goes.

ahem

hey I had my post crap phase. It only7 went for a few months. Shit, I'm over it like everyone. these days I'm happy just to talk cricket or a little bit here and there. I think people mostly get me. I am pretty earnest and sometimes a little 'eager' to talk chat laugh. Fuck we all have faults, its prolly over compensating for being a bit shy..or cut off..

but yeah I really aint out to casue any trouble, never was. And yeah I'm happy just to post a bit here and there..not be so attention seeking. I had to go through that thing, nowadays, I got to write more and all that..

Had to go through a phase. regarding a public life. really did. But out the other end I think I have a better grasp on things...

That's hiding behind technology. They don't use shovels anymore and those diggers can mask you pretty well.

fnar fnar! this thread sucks. it should be deleted.


sister  said about 1 year ago:

i wonder if mess and noise is responsible for my frozen shoulder.


kandos  said about 1 year ago:

dear sir or madam,

i would like to complain about the poor quality of your television show. the characters are one-dimensional stereotypes and the writing is atrocious. why not try being more like neighbours? complex plots, well-developed characters... and i mean well-developed. phwoar!

i wouldn't root anyone on your programme and that says a lot because i am eighty-five, blind and have sex with my jack russell frequently.

cheerfully,
knuckles


kandos  said about 1 year ago:

p.s. at least i think it's my jack russell.

arthritic,
knuckles.

i prefer analogue secretion to digital secretion.


BADALEX  said about 1 year ago:

shazzat -Nah, I don't bother arguing with BA in real life. It's boring.

Only because you constantly lose and are unable to compete...

Los Gauchos. I'm pretty much the same in real life. Perhaps worse...or is that better? The difference is that the phenomena you described is very real.

Previously I had my photo up here for that very reason, problem being, I realised that was just going to lead to me knuckling the skull of some poor lunatic, which I didn't feel was good.


paulie  said about 1 year ago:

stop talking about your band, kandos


kandos  said about 1 year ago:

dear paulie,

nuts.

testically,
kandos.


shunt  said about 1 year ago:

probably not


shazzat  said about 1 year ago:

Lose what? I don't even engage in an argument with you in the first place.... it's one thing to kill time on the net, if I see someone in real life I'm not going to stop and waste precious hours arguing. It's easier to be nice.


sister  said about 1 year ago:

accretion rather than secretion i think.


TopherPlus  said about 1 year ago:

This thread just highlights some of the fucked up shit that comes from mixing internet forumites with actual real life friends.


kandos  said about 1 year ago:

how dare you call me accretion! your a cretion!
