You guys aren't really mean?

7 years ago

Where's the line? Is 'mean' slang for something that I don't know, and it opened a can of worms that flopped and floundered on the ground, spelled the name of an ineffable eldritchian thingummy, dooming the world?

Anyway. You, we, I, are all mean, and occasionally that means writing a sentence that doesn't shoot rainbows and sprinkles. Or one with a point, because whiles it's obvious, a pointless sentence is the correct definition of a shitpost. Not simply something you disagree with, similar to yelling fascist as a kneejerk reaction.

Being direct with someone doesn't equate with being mean. If anything, it means you respect them enough to give them your direct opinion.

Or is this a sub-thread thing that got moved and now I'm inserting my unwanted opinion into an old and forgotten post T^T

All opinions are welcome. Silly ones get to be mocked, so do non-silly ones. Trick is whether it can stand up worth a damn, by itself or with evidence.

But that's a good point, respect. Nothing says "I don't respect/trust/like you" like being coy, implying, tricksy, instead of just plain and to a point. At best, it's a protective thing.... which doesn't make a huge amount of sense. Just words, and thoughts, after all. At worst, it's a more subtle contemptuous thing "You are too much of an idiot to get a raw opinion, so here's the version that your inferior intellect *might* comprehend, peasant. Begone!"

[Is it bad if the first person I thought of was Mizal *cough (please don't kill me)]

I assume that your second paragraph is referring to those moments when you do need to be direct. I don't want you to think I'm some solemn character all the time. For the most part I have a very dry sense of humour, and I'm pretty back-and-forth, but you gotta know when to be direct when the situation calls for it.

Plus there's a difference between disrespecting someone else's idea and the actual person themselves. i.e. if I meet a person who has some out-dated and, frankly, stupid idea of, for example, the earth is flat, or that the Mongols caused Down's syndrome, then I'd launch into a heated discussion on why they're, uh, wrong. However, because I don't disrespect the person themselves, a civil discussion can be had. Then I actually learn something from that person: perhaps I had not considered the other side of the story, or I actually come to accept their view. As a recent example, there was a discussion on bestiality on the threads that wasn't taken down for quite some time due to it being quite civil.

That's also an important distinction. When someone is so wrapped up in an idea, or more accurately, an opinion, then pointing out very real flaws seems to them, to be pointing out their flaws. Which if they want to take it like that,points out different, but very real flaws in them, so in a way it's true - just more of an own goal then a point made by the opposition.

It doesn't always work, but any internet debate works better with a float like a butterfly, sting like a bee approach. Accept valid criticisms and points made, have your own solid and reliable. Moment you get emotionally invested, and start punishing the poor keyboard with VERY. STRONGLY. TYPED. WORDS. you're making a spectacle of y'self, and becoming the topic, instead of the original points. And, it takes a lot of discipline to not prod sore spots with the stick of mild mockery, when the flailing is amusing.

Anyway, the thing I've found works worst, is long posts. It's not an inditement, but most arguments and points can and should be succinct and an easy progression to follow. A long post either won't be read, or someone who is looking to start shit will find the one sentence that's poorly worded, spin it and claim that this renders everything else invalid. Which is purest bullshit, but shifts the momentum, and turns it into dull quibbling.

Worst worst, is poor use of paragraphs (or, not) and other grammar tools to space out the text.

All excellent points iavatus, but by posting this you ruined my penis joke.

I wish I had more time to play around with this 20 character limit, there's now a meta game involved with posting here.

Welp, I'll make a note to try and craft a sentence with an alternative, amusing meaning at the ~23 char area.

I think 20 characters is the limit, but this needs more testing.

I just started a trip to Oregon and before we even got to Pittsburgh, Bucky got bit by a zombie, Mizal got lost for a damn hour and started singing a stupid song that annoyed everyone and Malk got dysentery.

Then top to it all off, almost immediately after we left Pittsburgh, Axiom went and got herself captured by bandits.

Ended up having to shoot Bucky before he turned into a zombie.

Then I shot everyone else just because I was running out of supplies and couldn’t be bothered to micromanage them any longer.

Yeah, made it to Oregon. (Since when is Cthulhu guarding the damn place?)

But since I got bit by zombies, I can only guess that I quickly proceeded to infect the only human safe haven left.

Did you seriously edit your big grand post calling out Bucky? :p

Don't worry, I saved it.

Bucky got hit by a zombie? Really? If so, justice/karma has finally caught up.

Let me get this straight: Bucky calls me cancer for no reason --> Bucky becomes zombie --> Zombie = Cancer

I'm no genius, but for now, I'll assume its Blaze 1: Bucky 0

:3

Some sick burns there bro.

Well, Blaze should make an apologize thread. He should apologize for the serious burns inflicted on Bucky. I bet he looks like Kruger now.

He DID call me cancerous, but I didn't read the whole post so I thought he was dead. Too bad he isn't :(

And yes, that was a good burn

Are you not aware that mizal was being sarcastic? There was not one sick burn in either one of your posts at failing to insult Bucky unfortunately. n.n

I’m not sure how anyone that says this: “I can work on whatever shaft you need me too.”

Is “winning” in anything except as cock sucking whore of the year.

I made a joke about how I was in the party and not Mason because I know how to suck a dick. Blaze proceeded to copy me.

If you really felt that way you wouldn't be saying something completely different, then suddenly editing your post to something completely different again so you can't be held accountable for the things you post.

To add to the fact that he still gets caught in the act, making it all the more shameful. Plus, you (Now referring to Ryder) feel as if you are supreme and better than everybody else. Just go fuck some cats. You do have a place on CYS, but only as a retard who gets laughed at and scorned by everyone.

So, is Blaze actually Ryder, or is this just some bullshit?

You guys are useless

I thought Ryder had been accepted back into the fold and sworn off being an idiot?

Plus, that profile Blaze has...surely even Ryder would be too embarrassed to make something like that. And I haven't seen Kiel or anyone who could actually be expected to know make a connection between them.
