Topic: I really don't understand this...

Why the hell do you people (EC in general) see the need to randomly attack me unprovoked? I could see it if I said or did something to offend you, but I'm having people literally just come out of nowhere with some insult or order to shut the fuck up. What really gets me is that it's people I've never even spoken to before; people who I don't know in even the vaguest sense. If you have a real, honest problem with me, post here and I'll try to make it up to you somehow. If your only problem amounts to "I don't like you" or "I think you're an idiot" don't post it here, it has no bearing on any reality but your own and there ain't a damned thing I can do to fix it. Also, don't post here to say "quit whining and suck it up," this isn't whining about some insubstantial, pointless thing. If I've actually done something to you, then I owe you an apology at the very least. If I haven't, I expect you'll behave like an adult and keep your personal problems with me to yourself.

It's not appropriate under any circumstances to attack someone simply because you don't like them. In all honesty, I don't believe it appropriate to attack someone at all unless they saw fit to attack you first. Granted, I've done my share of attacking, I most certainly cannot say I've always practiced this. In fact, I'll openly admit my hypocrisy in this. I'm human like everyone else here and, like anyone, I fail to behave as I should at times.

But for fuck's sake, people, at least let me know what issue you have with me and give me a chance to rectify it before you go stomping all over me.

This should be a flame thread.
"He lets the last Hungarian go, and he goes running. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they grew up in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. No one has ever seen him again. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you.'

As far as I know it was only relatively unprovoked once and that was just now with Trill.

Personally, I can't think of any other instances.

edit: Besides, what the fuck happened to keeping IRC drama in IRC or PMing Drysart if you have a serious problem with other members like this?

For those of you that apparently did not read the thread, this is not, repeat NOT, an angsty whiny thread. This is a request for you state what your issue is with me so I can do something about it. Flame thread? No, that's not the point of this. Now, those of you who nothing bullshit to post, get out of my thread. That means everyone who's posted so far. State your problem or shut the fuck up.

What gets old is you people completely ignoring the thread. I have yet to see anyone at all actually answer the thread and all but one person post utter bullshit. If you can't state a problem without flaming, you've got bigger issues than I do. It's pretty hard to get an answer for this sort of thing -without- attention whoring as you call it. How the hell am I supposed to find out what the fuck the problem is without asking? You expect to become a telepath all of a sudden?

Well guess what, I'm not a telepath. I can't read your minds. So, if you have a problem with me, you'll just have to figure out a decent, non-flame way to state it. If you don't, how the hell can I fix it?

Were it not for the fact that I have at least two people each flinging some hate at me either here or on IRC, I would indeed think that. Apply a little logic and it becomes clear. This is completely ignoring the fact that some people have outright stated they despise me without giving any particular. Thank you for not paying any attention.

They shouldn't have to post in the thread. There are PMs you can use to ask them personally. Make an effort. They'll respond more positively.

Then if you know this, why are you bitching about it on here, and not to them personally? Because honostly, I do not give a flying fuck. I'm pretty sure about half the people on this board doesn't either. If you know people hate you, talk to them. And if you don't want other people replying to this, don't make it open to everyone to reply to. That why we have private messages.

The major problem with this is I have no clue who some of these people are. They come out of the woodwork with some hostility and I'm left wondering "who the hell was that and what'd I do to them?" Make any sense? Apparently not because I posted the same thing at the beginning of the thread and no one seemed to get that part.

I beg to differ: "Waaaah, some people don't like me; won't you please tell me why so I can work it out pleasepleasepleaseplease?" is the very definition of angsty whining.

Perhaps if you whined less, people would accept you.

For rizzle. I'm not happy all the time either. In fact, I'm not happy most of the time. But, as Dennis Leary once said...

quote:
"I'm just not happy. I'm just not happy. I'm just not happy because my life didn't turn out the way I thought it would." Hey! Join the fucking club, ok!? I thought I was going to be the starting center fielder for the Boston Red Socks. Life sucks, get a fucking helmet, allright?! "I'm not happy. I'm not happy." Nobody's happy, ok!? Happiness comes in small doses, folks. It's a cigarette, or a chocolate cookie, or a five second orgasm. That's it, ok!


But really, I just ignore most of those sorts of threads, and give a bit of silent sympathy, and move on. Posting stuff on EC like that just generally isn't a good idea. It's good every once and awhile, if something really bad has happened, but posting frequently because of a general malaise that's fallen over you isn't something you should put on EC. If it's really interfering, then you should talk to someone about it. Not post on EC about it.

You had a weird stigma to begin with since you arrived here posting some rather bull-headed arguements. "Atleast I'm not Somthor" isn't the key to making friends. Stuff like that "Rend" thread wasn't exactly a good idea either (And I don't even think that's the first time you've made a thread like that).

And look, there are people here who like you, but nobody here, not even Drysart (well, maybe Drysart), is liked by everyone.

I don't hang out in #evercrest, so I can't address anything that happened there. My advice is less serious posting. Take a lighter side to things. As I said, a lot of times I'm not happy, but I try not to ever taint anybody else's good times or normal times with it. Play games with some people (people will accept you if you shoot them in the head with a shotgun, it seems). Just relax. Steer clear of political threads. Try not to insult people if you can help it, even if you're "just trying to help."

Just some advice, I guess.

[Edit]: And in case it was left unclear, I don't hate you.

The only time taking on a subject like this in a public manner is a good idea is if there is an organized group you take issue with. Sounds like you have two people who don't like you, which makes it easier to just talk to them one on one via PM.

Otherwise you're inviting EVERYONE into a personal problem, which never works.

The problem is, I don't know who they are. That really is the issue here. I can't address them by PM because I have no idea who to address. The only option left is to offer a blanket thread on it and hope whoever it is takes the time to explain themselves. For the most part, I don't really need to ask this question, for most, the problem has been established. Also, for most, it seems to have faded to a large degree.
