*Head-desk*

You know what I hate? When someone complains about something and then turns around and does it. Such as (NOTE: This example is going to be based off of many threads I've seen in online forums):
Person 1: *Introduces idea* So what do you guys think?
Persons 2-6 agree in some form.
Person 7: I don't think that would work...*lists reasons why they disagree with it*
Person 4: You don't have to be so rude! Gosh the OP was just sharing an idea!
Person 6: Yeah, it seems like whenever someone has a different idea everyone just has to go and shut them down!
Persons 2-6 agree with each other in some way that Person 7 was trolling.
Person 1: Thanks guys, I guess some people just don't like hearing what other people have to say. You know what Person 7, if you aren't going to be nice you can just leave! This is my thread and you don't have the right to take it over!
Person 7: *Thinking: WTFREAK???? O.O*

It's ridiculous. Especially when you have a thread that is OBVIOUSLY based on sharing opinions and all of a sudden it becomes completely one sided and if you disagree with the stronger side then you are automatically a troll who is just trying to get attention and you should leave the thread because you're worthless and no one likes you.

DEAR PEOPLE OF THE INTERNET:

  • If you ask for an opinion EXPECT OPINIONS OF ALL KINDS. 
  • If you present an idea that will lead to different opinions SEE BULLET ONE.
  • If you start a thread with any deeper meaning or thought process put into it SEE BULLET ONE.
  • If you are just posting to share something you found out or you made something and wanted to share it....heck, SEE BULLET ONE. 
Basically if you are on the internet you should be aware that there really truly are real people behind that screen. I promise you. They have brains that work and form ideas and opinions. I assure you. So please, realize this when you go to post something. I've gotten into the habit of adding "If any of this seemed harsh/rude at all, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to come across that way." to something if I feel it was too straightforward with not enough lighthearted comments. Heck I'll add it even with a plethora of witty and lighthearted comments. 

The point is...Karma. Yes, kids, I have a common theme today. Karma. If you are going to be a jerk, Karma is going to be a jerk (and so are all the people you come into contact with). So, don't be a jerk. And have a nice day.





...Which leads me to the song of the day:

I think my brain just died.

So, I was on a forum. And there is this STUUUUUPID troll. I know it's mean to call people stupid...but it's not my fault she's a b-word who doesn't even attempt to spell and just tries to start fights. She seriously needs to be slapped....Sadly Steve Jobs died before he could invent a computer that you could reach through and slap people. :(

I'm not going to taint my blog with her stupidity.



Although, here is a link to all of her posts: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/listByUser/1379531.page

Grammar Nazi Fail.

Found this while skimming a forum:

(Background info: Apparently two of the people were arguing about something extremely stupid, which was really just a misunderstanding caused by someone not being smart enough to figure out that there is a quote button. Then another person was telling them to stop arguing and get back onto the real topic. Personally I think that person had every right to tell them to stop arguing.)





 *Names are being dotted out.

First Arguing Person: (After saying rude someone thought he was talking to them and he still hadn't figured out the quote button and said this) Not you. B...... & his spamming link.

Second Arguing Person/Grammar Nazi: Exuse me You know you can get reported for this beacuse this is getting annoying.
G.... 1 page back you said of with this topic. Know this is getting on my nerves!!!


Sensible Person: JUST STOP ARGUING and lets talk about setra*. I love the suberbia part of the city, and the china town. 

*Setra is a city that the creator of the thread is building, it's the topic of the thread.

Second Arguing Person/Grammar Nazi:
Listern m.......! to start with this is nothing to do with you! Furthermore i said of with this topic and you are just getting involved making matters worst. And you cant tell anyone what to do or get involved in anyone elses buisness beacuse you are not very good using your grammer correctly and you are just looking for trouble!
Lets END this topic NOW whilst you this is getting many people angry!!!!
 

Ok, now let's count the mistakes in Grammar Nazi's posts. I counted about 12. 
How about Sensible Person's post? 2. One was a capitalization error and one was a misspelled word. I also looked at his next post and saw maybe one error and all that was was a missing comma. Missing comma or 12 spelling and other grammar errors. Who do you think has the grammar problems?
