Arguing

Yup, we all do it and most of us hate it. It tears apart families, friendships and keeps some people from ever becoming friends.

I think a lot of us need to start holding educated arguments. If you disagree it's okay. Just try to state things in a manner that's intelligent and polite. Yeah, sometimes even those of us that are usually pretty good with this can slip up at times. It happens, no one is perfect. Sometimes we ARE saying things nicely but remember we cannot HEAR how one is intending their comment to be heard and we also can't SEE one's facial expressions where the kindest and nastiest looks are seen.

I am trying to be a less pessimistic person but I still assume for the worst when it comes to a comment on the internet. For example, 'good for you' could be a truly nice or even goofy comment but someone else could see it as sarcastic and down right snotty. I tend to do that and it's not fun to start a comment war over something that was simply taken the wrong way. :/

Some people put words into another's mouth or in this case comment. Yeah, most of us don't mean to but it happens more than we'd like. I did it the other day. There are certain subjects commonly associated with other subjects and we tend to mush them together at times which strays away from the original post and can put words in other people's comments.

Well, I just wanted to post this up because it drives me crazy when people hold uneducated and rude arguments over little misunderstandings. Try not to name call and even if someone DOES sound mean remember they could not be intending to sound that way. If you feel you're being attacked by another member about something you typed then simply state it in another way trying to sound very polite and know that you have been misunderstood. You're not trying to keep them angry at you; you're trying to make them understand you and yelling at them isn't the way to go.

Well that's all I have to say for now. If any of you have anything NICE you'd like to add feel free.

Wha? Where did you get that from silly? It's for everyone.

Lol ^^

You're so vain, I bet you think this post is about you

Good song lol

Lol

Ah, naw you're fine. I took a look at the guys thing but I never went back to it so I didn't get a chance to see any strange arguments. Good songs though. :D I just put that up because I go into so many posts and then certain people (some more than others) bring stuff up they don't have to or take something completely the wrong way and get upset at the other person for making an innocent comment, or even just defending themselves.

Frankly speaking I think there is such a thing as an educated argument with added fun, I find it quite fun...However, truly speaking, I rarely go off the tangent of being rude, however, certain, egotistical persons, who I'll keep on the hush assume, that I'm somehow being rude, when all I'm being is nice, polite and somewhat sarcastic in my speaking.

Its think that those who take offence in such triviality or cannot take it as a funny joke, well then they can go off and veer to the psychiatrist as quickly as they can.

Oh I'm quite fine with joking. I'm just stating that there are many people that mean to offend when they joke creating an unneeded situation.

Its understandable, but quite frankly anything you could say would offend just about anyone. Hey who knows even this post that I'm writing to you now may offend. But frankly, the person who is offended, can either cry about it...Or take the matter at hand and actually pm the person. But I guess only the mature people do that...Lol.

My point is, everyone has a limit to what they can take, and when you take offence from words exchanged over the internet, you really must question your psyche...Truly.

Well I just don't think it's nice to bully people at all including the internet. It's all over the news lately. And you may say that those that get offended should question their psyche but what about those that are the bullies? If they truly have to waste their time putting people down then they really suck. I get what you mean though but we've all had different experiences and are all different people. We can't help how we react to things we just do. I just want people to be more aware of what they say and how others may take it.
