Just Some Food for Thought

[Fagulous]

Drats I was going to make a Bring it up in here thread, but spazz beat me to it.

Actually as guilty as spazz, joe, and casey are for instigating flames, the rest of you are dip shits for falling for it, and letting it continue in the threads, causing them to be locked down.

Joe, casey, and spazz as far as I can tell have always been dicks, and will probably be dicks for a few more years to come, if not longer. If you all took it to PMs we wouldn't have this problem, but oh no you take it out in the threads, like anyone cares about your worthless internet ego.

Wow, that's awsome!

[XxJennaxX]

I don't know if anyone realizes this or not, but nothing's going to change. The people who flame will continue to flame. Someone is always going to make fun of someone else b/c of their clothes, appearance, attitude, ect. Everyone is going to continue to defend themselves (in whatever manner they choose) so long as a negative comment is made against them.

It's absolutely impossible to create something where everyone gets along and respects each other. That's life, and it's going to continue regardless of people being banned or added restrictions. So I don't see what all the crying is about if it's inevitable.

Some things will never change regardless of how much we want them to.

But everytime a thread gets locked down due to flaming, it shatters Ho's naive idealistic notion that peace can exsist on the internet. I think we should just contain flames(or at least what we would say to those that troll) to one thread, and request that Ho just ignore ever even looking at it.

[Grubb]

Hey, Grubb. Just stay out of this one if you can't behave yourself. Thanks.

I seem to behaving myself just fine, thank you.

I don't know, I was hoping that maybe some people would just get the hint, but I guess they're too busy trying to get some repressed childhood abuse out of their system

I somehow doubt you know any details about anyone's childhood on this board, other than your own.

Behave yourself, people. Don't respond to other people's posts with a bigger flame or whatever, just fuels the fire and doesn't solve anything until someone can't handle it anymore and has to grab a mod.

Hey, only you can prevent forrest fires! If you don't like people acting like children, and telling the mods on you, then don't give them a reason to.

Like I said before, sorry you got schooled, but you brought it on youself. Don't go around blaming everybody else for the crap you've done.

Blah.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I was thinking about suggesting that. I mean, sure it's flaming, but if everyone gets it out in a designated thread, then it will keep it off all the other threads. Sure, everyone wants this to end, but realistically, it's not going to.

I think we should just kick out those 3 people I'm not naming individually who go out of their way to be assholes. That's what admins do on every other large forum I've ever been to, except for this one. It seems to keep the useless flaming to a minimum.

True that, I mean sure stand up for yourself or whatever, if your incapable of letting go, but for some odd reason, people seem incapable of using the PMs for it. If everyone here were as emotionally mature as they thought they were, this thread wouldn't exsist.

In other words, suck it up bitches.

[UberAvonDancer]

Two cents coming kids. Let it go please. No names, no blame, just everyone let it go please? This is the kinda of stuff that ruined IndyDDR last time. To some people this maybe just a place to stir up shit and laugh, but some people like me who have been around a little longer IndyDDR is slightly more important. I'm not going to ask we all hung and make up, but just please keep it off the boards? If you have a problem, dont even bring it up on IndyDDR. IM them, or PM them. So ladies and gentlemen, back to your corners and remember the golden rule of an internet forum. Dont like someone, ignore them. Lets all take a deep breath and grow up, on 3. 1,2,3.

A flame forum would be fun, only flame those who enter and present themselves as flamebait. Too bad that wouldn't work and people would get all offended as usual.

I personally love getting flamed, I think its hilarious.

I think we should just kick out those 3 people I'm not naming individually who go out of their way to be assholes. That's what admins do on every other large forum I've ever been to, except for this one. It seems to keep the useless flaming to a minimum.

Actually with a few exceptions, the things that Casey, Joe, and Chris say aren't that bad. Its the reactions that everybody has that keeps them fueled. Lets take a look how it works:

*Someone makes a rather rude comment, somewhat offensive, but can be easily brushed off* +
*Person B decides they need to say something about it and flames the first commenter making the situation worse* +
*then the first person who made the comment flames back making an even more offensive comment then the first, only now directed to the person B*=
Flame war.

Now where did the trouble *truely* start....with person B. While BOTH parties are guilty, person B should just let it go.

If person B just LET IT GO and ignore the first person, then I guarantee that we wouldnt be having the flames that we have right now.

Remember kids, it takes TWO (or more) to tango.

So from now on we should just flame Joe, Casey, and Spazz, before they even say anything offensive, that way when they say something back they will be more at fault.


That's pure genius pheadra!!!!!! A pre-emptive strike would keep them on thier toes.

Ok, my turn to quote something for truth.

Seriously guys, like i said before, i may be a newbie around to the boards, but it doent take a whole lot of work and maturity to just be civil, the point should not be person B not flaming back, it should be person A not starting shit in the first place. If you want to be confrontational, do it off the boards, with your friends or other places, but lets keep the boards clean ok? Not only are there people on here who dont like to sift through the shit, but its just a downer to see people going at it back and forth. Respect is not hard to give someone, and it may be the sole thing that keeps these boards alive.

So everyone please just do your best to get along, for the sake of the community eh?

Happy Easter
