Getting upset on the internet
Posted: August 28 08, 5:55 pm
I hate getting pissed about what somebody wrote. I should know better than to let other people comments bother me.

A lot of times people write things online that they probably wouldn't say in person, so in that sense I can actually understand getting ticked on occasion. It's just too easy to be condescending or arrogant when you know the exchanging of text comments on a message board will be the extent of the interaction between you and your internet foe (for most of us, anyway).wart57 wrote:I hate getting pissed about what somebody wrote.

I definitely make a concerted effort not to hold grudges, however. I've certainly made some "snarky" comments before (that seems to be a popular word around here lately), and others have been mean to me, but I tend to forget about heated exchanges quickly. There are many good conversations to be had at GRB, and being angry only holds me back.
That is sweet, you don't want to be there alone....Leroy wrote:Go to hell wart.
