flame_war misstree A snap of a beartrap, holding ego in jaws of logic. Some come to the free-for-all to prove their worth to themselves, some to get sick jollies from hurting others, some to sharpen teeth on bone. At the end of the thread corpses of fluffballs pave the list, a handful of the most intelligent and ruthless gazing at their masterpieces. The bullies have been bullied, the self-righteous have been struck down. It was a good thread. 021230 ... misstree remembers when "This valuable life lesson has been offered to you free of charge, so either be grateful or be quiet." -Sykur. "Flamewars die, fluff is eternal." -John VerBurg "This site is intended for people over 18, but only because kids shoot each other if they hear the word, 'fuck.'" -Seanbaby.com the lessons to be learned: 1. you have just been smacked in the face. you can ignore it, attempt to defuse it, or flame back. but bitching and moaning about it is waaaaaay down on the list. 2. different people value different things. anger runs out eventually. but the fluff posts keep coming and coming, and anger returns. now *that* is the cycle of life. 3. someone expressing displeasure with you is the absolutely worst thing that could possibly happen and they should rot in hell for expressing their opinoins. we'd better all start being nice to someone real quicklike, or someone might have their feelings hurt because they're very hormonal right now and their great aunt helga just died and they're only getting a c in biology. grow the fuck up. the most dire consequence of someone expressing a not-nice opinoin is the amount of bichandmoan that always follows. you could insult someone without becoming the antichrist. 040407 ... the "nice" girl okay i'm expressing my opinion now. i think that the way some people express their opinion is just plain rude. and some people enjoy being rude for the sake of being rude. i don't think that makes me a whining, moaner. i just prefer being polite over being expressing an opinion so bluntly. 040408 ...
