hate on the web

[Anarchy In Detroit]

How come people feel that they can say anything on the internet? people send me rude comments all the time. i wish there was a way i could reach through the screen and break their teeth. because i will tell you now if people talk to me in real life like they do on the internet they are in for an ass whoopin. so what is the absolute WORST comment on the web that you have received?

I've been threatened and insulted by numerous Republicans. Not semi-intelligent Republicans mind you. From the ones that get every argument they can articulate from bumper stickers. Yeah, because that makes you more knwoledgeable on any subject than me fuckwit.

People who get offended on the Internet are weird. It's really only personal insults that would offend someone and how can you be personal over the Internet?

Someone said "You're obviously fat" to me once. I'm not. Ergo, not very offended.

Although on another horrific forum I no longer frequent a girl put up a picture of herself and someone made a thread about it and everyone ripped her to shreds. That was quite shockingly bad.

I try to be as open-minded as I can but when your a 15 year old,male,long-haired,Satanist,metalhead, it's hard not to see the large amounts of people that hate you for no good reason.

My post feels like a jewish boys penis on the day he becomes a man.

That is to say it got snipped .

Well I've gotten hate for being Christian, mostly from atheists.

i believe that this is called internet asperger syndrome. (please correct me if i am wrong here)

the idea is that with anonymity in position, people are free to act how they want, blame it on something like asperger syndrome, and no one is able to say "you do not have asperger syndrome, you are just an idiot" because everyone is anonymous. thus, you cant tell.

i am usually bland enough to be unphased by most insults from people online. it just does not affect me that someone who i do not know thinks i am whatever they tell me i am. and if i answer, it is a cold answer, no anger, but an air of disappointment that seems to diffuse most people.

I am a nihilist and a narcissistic bastard but at least i keep my offensive thoughts to myself.

Meet the internet fucktard theory: Regular Person + Total Anomity + Audience = Total Fucktard.

People can get away with it, that's why they're rude.

This exactly.

It's mainly because they can't do it in real life to people. I get irritated at people on-line, I've gotten into arguments on-line. I never resort to that type of idiocy though.

I have encountered people on the net that I would love to meet in real life though, because you're right, they would get their teeth knocked out.

THIS comment on a video I made:
"What the fuck is this bullshit, whoever makes this should die in a fire or have their 360 taken off them for being so fucking bullshit. If this was my kid I'd beat the shit out of him for being such a fucking dumbass and not learning how to act."

I responded with this:
"Do you know what Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is? It's defined as a behavioral disorder characterized by extreme bouts of uncontrollable rage disproportionate to the situation it's directed at."

Add to that the fact that the internet's a large place and you're very likely going to find someone who opposes your views and you have a pretty accurate equation. Since you're anonymous, that multiplies what you can actually do, you can just insult someone who opposes your view and call them a "Communist bastard" as much as you like.

So the final equation I believe is:

Anonymity(Regular Person+Someone Who Opposes Your View+Audience)=Total Fucktard

I have actually been called a communist bastard on these forums because of my views, which at the time weren't actually mentioned, and weren't related to Communism. -_-

Get a tissue, toughen up, that anonymity works both ways.

Getting butthurt about an insult that clearly has no foundation exposes a lack of maturity.

Getting butthurt about a well founded criticism? Well we know the solution to inadequacy don't we kids?

 

[TheFacelessOne]

I wouldn't really have a worse one...but I have trained myself not to "break down" whenever someone has the word "You" right next to the word "suck."

 

[BlindTom]

Whoah!

I just read through all of the comments in this thread! I can see exactly what you mean by people letting anonymity run away with them, who'd have thought that somebody could become so detatched as to think reacting violently to somebody else exercising their free speech is somehow NOT abhorrent?

I suppose it's a good job this isn't real life, or I might feel the need to back away from such unbalanced individuals.

/agree
I think its the development of E balls.

Anonymous public forums are not for the faint of heart. I learned that when I first got the internet over a decade ago. It's one of the reasons why I try not to be any more of a dick than I am on the street.

More often than not, I'm nicer on the net than I am offline because I am allowed time to sit and think rationally before I post. On the street, I'll just snap and make people regret they are living.
