I'm sorry...I'm sorry...but this is where you get off, I'm afraid

Excuse this if this seems like mindless babble to you, but I try to update as often as possible and usually it's about comics/my day/batfagging/useless photos....but there are sometimes when I just post my soapbox rantings...and this is going to be one of them.

I've never been one to be really into a certain "fandom" of anything...since really the only outlet of fan-anyting I ever did was on FF.net, and i rarely was on forums so i never saw the trolling....until now.

And it's the fact that all these Livejournal, Deviantart, FF.net and other websites of these nature tend to have usernames so the idea of being anonymous comes into play. The fact being that people tend to talk a lot more shit when they're hiding behind a username then when they are facing the person in real life. This dick-ish attitude is always being shown in online video gaming such as XBOX Live where if you're ever playing online multiplayer mode you will hear the most racist/sexist/homophobic and just plain hateful slurs.

I think it's safe to say that usually when people are being ignored, they go away. It's when you antagonize them is when problems occur and these fights seem to start. So even though the fights seem really EASY to battle in a comment list, or forum, or online MMO....just don't do it. It's such a waste of everyone's time when a person goes out of their way to just be an asshole.

And for those on deviantart, youtube or other multiuser website...if you see something that you don't like, instead of writing something insulting and hateful, try to write something productive. And this isn't against criticism, I'm very much FOR criticism since there's no way to improve something without fixing it's flaws, this is against simply dick-ish behavior that a lot of people show because they suddenly feel very empowered once they see they can write whatever they wish with the only major consequence being that the person they are writing to will fight back.

So my point being, for all those trollers, flamers, and basically just lonely haters out there...if you don't have anything useful to say then stick your dick in your mouth and let the intellectual people speak because your stupidity is hogging all space in the comment boxes.

If anyone has anything else to say about this topic, really comment this post because I would love to hear the different POVs of this.

haters, blah blah blah, soap box rantings
