Posting on a forum about how you reply to people on the internet that are being mean to you is certainly something that matters.
Just joking, mind you.
'Mean' has nothing to do with it...it is the chain of events that can happen when people act like douchebags towards people who they don't know in person or situation.
Do you see me insulting people because they don't understand something?
Do you see me grandstanding on something I can do because you can't?
This is not about what people say or who they say it to....this is about intention. I say something back to these people for one reason....the rest of the people in the world and not myself, I can protect myself just fine.
Anyways according to what you are saying, talking to anyone on the internet is pointless right?
Being at this forum at all is pointless right?
I see the insults as a problem...when some person gets online and starts laying into people for fun..he is safe...no one can get him....unfortunately when the kid he is insulting is someone who has had a horrible life...or who's mother just died or anything negatively life changing on a serious level or whatever
the coward insulting him may be the catalyst for the victim reaching a breaking point, snapping and physically hurting someone else.
So yeah...it actually does matter and if people would raise their kids instead of letting online games and television do the job, and if people wouldn't be so cowardly insulting real people they don't know over a digital make believe world so that they can feel like they matter to the random people listening, I wouldn't have to do their parents job and put some loose lipped dude in his place or give him a real world perspective.
Remember the word 'INTENTION' .
Also if you read what I said and understand how it would effect someone who thinks they are the king-chit you wouldn't have tried to make what I said all about the insult to me, you would have took it for what it was meant to be...
But yeah carry on...and not joking.
