When Did it Come to This?

Arguments on AZB are a like a sinusoid. It ebbs and flows it's ugly head every now and then.

Then we get threads like this.

The arguments are nothing new - just sometimes we are at the top of the sinusoidal wave and sometimes not.

I must have one of those sinusoids or a keloid in my sinus for I can't breath well right now reading this thread.:smile:

Nope, that was how I posted it. If I am editing...then it is usually to fix a grammatical error, or to add to a post. I am friendly, so it was not edited for that reason...if I really 'go off' on someone, it was because I was provoked.

Extremely disappointing post, Lisa.

Define irony ... When a member posts a thread revealing her fear that the forum is collapsing to arguments, and that thread leads to, yep, you guessed it, arguments.

In the "Redneck Dictionary" the word irony is used to describe what water drawn from a well tastes like :grin:!!!

On the Billiards Digest board there was this guy "Bolo" who was pretty inflammatory and showed no willingness to suffer fools. He was downright mean at times. He also had a lot more knowledge than most of us about pool and cues, and players too - and probably played better than the others there. He obviously could play and built cues on the side.

Basically, I learned a lot from him after a 20 year layoff from the game, so his idiosyncrasies were acceptable to me. In fact, his input and ideas were invaluable and I still use them today. In fact, I wish I knew who he really was and what happened to him.

Lisa, I have been trying to mandate decency for years...and it's a lot like beating my head on a wall.

One day the wall might crumble before my head explodes....but I have my doubts.

People get very brave when they have a mask of anonymity, They will try and berate you, speak down to you even threaten you. All things they most likely don't have the balls to do in person.

Once you've managed to wade through the internet tough guys, cyber punks and the know-it-alls, there are some very decent people here who make the trouble worth it.

Same thought as I have had recently i am trying to overcome it by posting more and not getting down in the gutter myself. Lets give it some time and try to turn the tide.

It is more than communication. Sometimes a person will align themselves with forum bullies in an effort to gain acceptance.

When a flame thread erupts, they join right in, trying to contribute as much negative content as they can against the victim, hoping the forum bullies will accept them. Instead of standing tall and being their own person, they can only follow a pack, much like a poor nitwit chasing a fire engine.

In reality, their lives are empty, and this gang mentality is only a vehicle for them to feel better about their existence. Quite sad, really, when you think about it. :frown:
 
Sarcasm and humor are lost in text, think text messaging. Also a lot of people have a Napoleon complex. I'm always amused by certain people thinking that they are important enough in someones life for them to really even care about.

Gotta have a gunfighter mentality, stay low and keep firing!

P.S. Threads like this only make the same kind of thread that this thread is complaining about over time.

The sad thing is the minority is winning the battle of life, politics, etc., because too few speak, and the silent majority stay silent.
