How I feel about Orr, what about you?

[Fey]

Why is everyone so angry?

Innanet.

Actually I see someone with a stick up their arse angrily posting to attack someone and the other person posting to defend themselves (while trying not to be openly rude or aggressive, unlike you who have no qualms with flaunting your boorish nature).

You started out by telling him to grow up, now I'm telling you to grow up. Don't get mad at me and try to start another argument, just let it go and move on. At least try and act like you have some dignity and civility.

I don't know what makes you think you're entitled to make a post about me and then tell me not to reply to it, and say that if I do reply to it, I have no dignity or civilty. Sorry but I don't see sarcasm and mild outrage as polite, quite the opposite in fact.

If you reply to this post you have a small willy.
If you don't reply to this post you will die in your sleep tonight.

Jokes on you...I ALREADY HAVE A SMALL WILLY!!!

Oh wait...

Orr is annoying and just a big tag-fest. Any non-Plinx quests worth doing are bugged, and I loathe having to log in. Tomorrow when I do my daily I'll have finally saved up enough bloodstone shards for my gift of mastery! Woot!

OMG, I lol'd so loudly, my secretary came in to see what was so funny. (And it is my lunch - so shush!)

I am bokiz's boy toy. He is rough. =(

I didn't see anything at all wrong with the boytoy post. I definitely had a "...Seriously?" moment to all the negative reaction. If I/my spouse gave a comment like that about us more than a "lol" (or a joking follow up) then there's a serious problem -- but it's not on the poster's end.

Imo people are way, way too sensitive in general these days.

I totally agree.. I was a bit taken aback when I saw how people reacted to that "boytoy" post. I was like ...what?? Wow, people need to lighten up. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but I definitely didn't see anything mean, rude, or serious about that post. Just someone's attempt to make a joke.

I suppose if he had followed it up with "brought to you by a naughty kitten" or something like that people would have just laughed and moved on.

Okay, on the topic of Bokiz post...while I didn't personally see anything but a joke in it, I also know the poster and follow him quite regularly, so I read the post in the spirit I assumed it was intended.

The problems with internet communication are myriad. No tone of voice, no facial inflection, people don't always remember other people's posts and some people might be offended by that sort of thing. They're not wrong to be offended, just as Bokiz wasn't wrong to make a joke.

Now, because people did report the post, the mods have to say something and we did, but it doesn't have to be a huge deal. Bokiz has already said he'll refrain from doing that again. Case-closed as far as I'm concerned.

The bottom line is that there's a line between what's permissible and not and what's good taste and not, but those lines vary vastly from individual to individual, so in a community setting, you should be trying to give the benefit of the doubt both ways.

Someone making a joke should be seen as making a joke and someone who gets offended shouldn't be dismissed, because their line is different from others.

So let's draw a line under this and get back on topic, please.
