thats being negative towards everyone?
goog,
Let me see if I can clear this up a little bit. In all seriousness, and with all joking aside (rare for me, I know, so please bear with...).
The reason I posted the joke in the RARGH thread was because you posted 3 times in a row in the thread about Kennedy (and yes, I get the joke with his name, because that is what he does - v. funny), but you kept posting it after the 1 repeat that he does, and you had that pointy wang picture - it was too hard to resist. I'm only human! Also, we all were having a nice discussion in the fan fiction topic in the other forum, which is kind of what inspired the joke, which I felt was topical. I was going for pointlessly ludicrous, and did not think that anyone would think I was ACTUALLY suggesting that you were gay (not that there's anything wrong with that). See, ranting about the WWE is fine, that is the point of this thread - but repeatedly posted the same thing is what makes it go beyond thread contribution and turn into just an annoying distraction, which is what most of the people get upset about with you.
Also, you mentioned your post of your cat in the AWWWW thread - you will notice that nobody insulted you or said anything negative at all to you in that thread when you posted your picture - because you were actually contributing, and not doing anything that people considered to be annoying.
And the reason people got upset with you in the Anime thread is because you did not defend your opinion, you just said that Akira sucked, and even when someone posted a nice long explanation of why they liked it, you just posted again and, essentially, said it sucked and they were stupid for liking it (and yes, I know you did not actually say that in words, so please don't take this one point and try to overturn everything else I have said because of this one single item - the insult was implied, not specific).
Overall, the posts that you have made in this community have been negative, ill-tempered, and full of non-specific (and occasionally specific) insulting attitudes and comments. Yes, on occasion you try to contribute something, but usually you are insulting, making off-handed rude comments and calling people things that are not insults, but in a way that makes you sound insulting and rude. You have to understand that a great deal of the people here know each other very well, and think highly of each other. Coming in and making random snide comments at topics or people causes a xenophobic reaction.
I am not really a member of this community's family either (I've only been here for a little over 2 months), but I like to think that I am vaguely well-thought of, when people remember who I am, and that I am on my way towards acceptance (for whatever acceptance by people I have never met and don't even know what they look like is worth).
And for what it is worth, I am sorry that I egged you on in some of the topics - you were annoying, I was bored, and it was kind of funny to see what I considered to be predictable responses. But that kind of behaviour detracts from the subject at hand, and only contributes to the hijacking of peoples' serious (or not serious) conversation topics, so I'm not going to do it anymore.
And if I offended you in some real sense by any of the things I said, I apologize. People who are constantly negative just get under my skin, because the internet (and in a lot of cases, the world) is such a shitty place as it is, the last thing we need is people being assholes to each other just because it's anonymous. We would all be better off if we treated everyone with respect - but that only really works if everyone participates, and you really can't blame people for lashing out when you waltz in here, an inexperienced kid in his early 20s, and start acting snide and superior from the get-go.
In any case, I won't be posting any more negative comments about you, and I hope that we can all get back to the various subjects at hand, and just enjoy ourselves as a group - which is kind of the point.
