Woaw did not mean it was okay, even when people don't know that your girlfriend had been raped.  He was merely making a comment about that.  The fact of the matter is regardless of whether the knowledge of knowing was there or not, it remains that different personalities with different senses of humor will come up during the course of your life throughout various environments.


You're assuming too much.  As I have a 2nd post on this thread about "WYSIWYG" - aka "What you see is what you get", I meant exactly what I was saying but I did not mention at all at any time that you are weak NOR are you doing anything wrong.


Again, you assumed that I have called you weak, that you never get out of the house, and that you barely got through elementary school.

I believe that you are too used to having trolls flame in your other threads at other forums, that you're assuming that I am calling you weak, loner, and uneducated.  No, I have not once called you anything. 

Those were rhetorical questions with an answer to that rhetorical question.  It was meant to give you perspective on how things are in the world. 

I shook my head in slight irritation and mild frustration when I read your comment above.

/sigh

I mention the elementary school example because elementary school takes up about 7 or 8 years of our initial lives.  That's a short period of time, compared to the rest of our possible lives.  If we live for 85 to 90 years, that means we still have about 75 to 80 years ahead of us.  I mentioned this because in such a short period of time, at that youth, we are still exposed to such various experiences of both bad and good.  In such a small environment, we are exposed to a variety of personalities.  Whether they are wrong, right, or a hybrid of them, that just shows how broad the world can be.  You either accept this fact of the world or you can simply segregate yourself from it by leaving it and not ever experiencing it.

I gave that example of someone who never leaves the house and someone who does exposes him or herself to the world, because it was supposed to give you perspective on how the world works.  My gosh, I even mentioned in the beginning of my comment that you most likely already know all of this, but I was going to reiterate my thoughts to reaffirm your possible perception of all of this.

Like I said, I never once said you are weak, nor are you a loner, nor are you uneducated.  A little perception goes a long way, as I have mentioned in my first post.


When Scuffl said "Courtesy and respect are hard to find. You have to give in order to receive. Juvenile behavior is oft self centered. When immature people feel negatively, they may try to make others feel as they do."

He did not mean that courtesy is equaled to respect, nor is courtesy earned.  Again, a little perception goes a long way. 

It should be a given that courtesy should be automatic and expressed through a neutral usage in any shared environment.  I believe I have briefly mentioned this in my first post. 


Sarcasm without perspective is usually interpreted as the building block for a flame.  If you had through a little perception read my comments or anyone's comments, you would have known that no one had called you a name in any of the posts.  On the other hand, in your first post, you opened the thread by assuming that anyone or some people who may reply to your thread will flame you.  On top of that, you assumed that any flamer would be a teenager, though you tried to rejustify your comment with "I guess when I say teenagers I suppose there are certain teenagers in their thirties."

Of course, I've done something similar before, but I wouldn't be so bold to assume that everyone will flame me and call me names if I open up a legitimate topic at a forum of sorts.  There is the possibility, but it is not set in stone.

Remember, a large part of maturity is understanding a situation and knowing what to do and what not to do in that given situation.  Emotions will get in the way for sure, but reasoning and logic coupled with those emotions, will surely help you in deciding what you should do versus what you might and would have done.
