Earlier I was insulted by another PMC user for simply speaking my mind on how it simply felt awkward for having so many friends from PMC become mods and just recently banned for trying to talk to them about just asking me to stop nicely instead of getting on my case about it. Also, I'm not the only one who's felt that it's awkward having all your friend's become mod's almost all at once as well. I know that there have been others who have felt this as well.

I contacted this person who was insulting me earlier, trying to explain that since I was apparently "irritating them" that they could have simply ask of me "can you please stop talking about that?" I mean what's so hard about asking that in the first place? Look, we've all got our points of view on many things, including something like our friends becoming mods. But if it's irritating you on how people are talking about it, then please, don't be rude and just start going off on that person or those people talking about it. Instead, just ask them to change the subject and I'm sure they'd get it and do it.

But when you just go straight in and start getting on their case about it...... that's a whole nother story people, especially when you start mocking them!

To me, any kind of mockery, bullying, or whatever also falls under rule number 3 of the chat rules and not just trolling and flame wars!

Trolling = bullying people! Mockery = bullying people!

So I ask ALL of the mods, is it right to ban the person who's thinking logically here and actually abiding by the rules and trying to be nice, or is it fair to side with the person who's completely sucking up to you and ends up stabbing you in the back and starts getting on people's cases by mocking them and all that?

I'll admit, I suck up to the mods, but I don't start going around and start mocking people! Sure, I may end up trying to do the job of the mods, but I only do that to try to help them when they're AFK or no on chat.

Ask anyone who knows me and you'll see that I don't mock, troll, or start flame wars. And even if I end up doing so, I do it only as a friend and not someone who's just trying to prove a point or b/c I got irritated with their topic.

Also, you wanna know why I am able to stay level headed even when I'm going through this? It's simply b/c I actually abide by the Golden Rule on a daily basis people!

TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED!!!


And though it may not seem like I'm treating you fairly, it's simply b/c you're treating me unfairly. But even then, I still try to give those of you who feel this way about me the opportunity to actually not feel as if I'm harassing them or anything, ok people? If I feel like I need to be on your case, it's most likely that you were on my case for absolutely no reason, just like the PMC user who got on my case about what I was talking about at the start of the blog when they could have very well asked me NICELY to change the subject!


And before anyone says ANYTHING, there was one incident here on PMC where I actually did ask people to change the subject simply b/c of the fact that it was a topic I didn't feel like discussing simply b/c of the fact it was a MLP discussion and I was the only one of what you bronies, or anyone for that matter, would call to be a "non brony" on at the time, with a few exceptions of afk people of course. Also, if you have something to say to that then please, be sure to check my one blog about the topic of MLP then, cause I clearly say that I don't mind them talking about it, as long as they don't do it in the main lobby of chat due to the fact that people who are just joining chat wouldn't have to walk in on a full out MLP chat!

Good for you plyr_783 for at least saying your mind; I know how you feel. The problem with online chat is that a lot of more people have the guts to be jerks/bullies/trolls online than to be in person. Just think about it; if you were a jerk/bully/troll, would you rather insult some one to their face if they could seriously hurt you in person, or, would you rather insult them online? My point exactly. I had a friend on a chat website once; and even though I never met the guy, he was a very nice person. All of a sudden, he gets the power to be a mod, and he treats me like I was his nemesis or something. All of it has to due with the fact that they feel like the king-of-the-world because you can't hurt that troll/bully/jerk; they're online, and they feel like nothing can stop them.

trust me i've had the same exact problem! in fact, it was b/c of the fact that i told the person to "shut up" and that they "weren't funny" out of self defense that they just finally snapped!!

but ya it was actually still building up before then, but that was the final breaking point! and funny thing is is that they even said themselves "i don't care who my friends talk to as long as they don't get hurt" which was just about 2 weeks ago too

Truth =/= bullying, it may be rude, but the truth isn't always nice.

dude you're still missing the point here! you specifically tried to start a flame war about it instead of simply asking me to change the subject.

and i'm sure you're going to start getting on LeBroham about his blog on the same exact subject as what you were getting on me about, am i right? all i can say is edge, learn to stop being rude about things and learn some manners, please. i wasn't trying to irritate anyone by saying what i did! ask nicely for people to stop instead of yelling at them about it

Apparently you're the one missing the point. I wasn't trying to start a flame war. A flam ewar is going after someone for little to no reason, I was simply pointing out that you were being HIGHLY irritating by constantly pointing out that you didn't have mod. Take it or leave it, but if you can't handle the truth, get out.

to me it's still not a good excuse to get on someone's case ok? and like i keep saying, being nice about it is better than being all like "oh look at me i'm so and so, y u no love me?" get what i'm saying?

Yeah, people around me asked me to stop lying, and tell them the truth... But, when i tell the truth, i can't hold it.. It's the naked truth.

So now, my friends prefer me to lie to them ;)
