I know my intent, the people here that I respect, know my intent and those people who are intelligent may not understand the intent immediately, but in many cases, as I just alluded to in my post, they came back or I came back, and in further discussions, we came to understand each other's intent.
.

So If I understand this, If I dont understand your intent then Im not respected nor intelligent?


Perfect example of what I was saying. YOU have interpreted my statement to be about YOU when I was making a general statement how things are taken. I hardly know you, other than how you respond to my posts, so I could hardly be expected to make a judgement of your intelligence level, could I? As for respect, people that I respect have earned my respect through my interactions with them. Respect is not given out just by being a poster.



domahpet -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 11:12:20 AM)


ive seen some of the ('scuse me) "stupid people" (NOT my words!!!) making great strikes lately, to better fit in here, be more rescpectful, ask more clear questions, whatever, and im taking that into account when i want to respond to a thread.
see, heres the thing. i have been spanked by mod 11 for what she (are you a she?) just mentioned, so ive been trying to moderate myself. i for one dont like being spanked by someone ill likely never meet in person!



MissHarlet -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 11:14:09 AM)

I will reword it then.... if one does not understand your intent .. they do not have your respect and are not intelligent ?  Is that more appropriate and generic enough?



CuriousLord -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 11:15:55 AM)

Just to point it out, thread hijacking can be a good thing, even and especially when it kills a thread.

I know that, probably a couple weeks ago, I had a thread on the main BDSM Discussion forum.  Of course, being the elitist I am, I made the points vague enough to be misunderstood and taken as offensive by a good many.  It started off with a combination of discussion and flame.  After the useful discussion died down and it was just the flame, I and several others hijacked the thread and purposefully put it down.  It effectively ended the flame war that was building in it.

If anyone who helped with that happens to read this, my thanks.



MissHarlet -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 11:17:11 AM)

Now I will make my apologies .... for it seems I have changed the course of the thread and that was totally unintentional......I was only trying to understand and make a point of how easily things are misunderstood and the need to take care of what we post and that does not mean being someones mother .. again my apologies to the OP and the posters ....

And Im done with this topic as it seems to be going in circles.

I think the mind-boggling adults that question may be like those that oppose gun control. They see a bunch of little laws unnecessary when all it would take is to enforce existing ones.

Otherwise moderate the offenders as you wish …new rules are not necessary in this case and just add to the confusion.

If the goal was simply to punish people instead of getting the offensive behavior to stop, that would work.  It's not.  The existing rules are being enforced, but they didn't cover this type of behavior.

MissHarlet, you may be wanting to pick a fight with me, which is absolutely your perogative.

Just as not bothering to further explain my point to you, is my perogative.

As Mod 11 said, you are free to ignore me and my posts.




Raechard -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 11:32:27 AM)

Call me thick but I need some examples to understand this rule and how it is going to be applied. I love following rules and make sure I always do my best to follow them. Just like the keep off the grass rule, where you can't take short cuts, it is in place to stop the grass becoming a big square patch of mud as people walk over it. I need to understand the type of behaviour first. So references to these hijacked threads within that announcement would be nice, or some descriptive examples etc. This rule isn’t like the other more cut and dried ones.

I agree examples would be nice. But I would guess that if you, as an individual or group, posted and posted and posted in a thread you would make it impossible to follow the op’s subject. Many people would open and see the chaos and not comment.

This would effectively kill the thread.

Raechard -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 11:56:54 AM)


I think a lot of people can be accused of not following the whole thread in most cases and just replying to the original post or the last reply to it. For example I've not read this whole thread and just because I didn't want to read the entire thread it didn't stop me from replying to the original post or a specific reply I read. You’ll see people make the same points continuously that have already been made this way. I don't think threads die from being filled with crap because amongst the crap you'll see people maybe taking the OP more seriously. Plus if the same people are making the posts or a group of friends you can filter out their replies with the block thing.



sweetwenchie -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 12:44:16 PM)

~edited to add fast reply to no one in particular~

At the risk of drawing wrath down upon my wenchie head here, it seems that this issue has stirred up a number of  hard feelings and angst that surprises me.  i love a good debate, however when it devolves into mindless ranting and raving i have an urge to check the top of the page to ensure i have not somehow stumbled onto CL.  Is it truly so difficult to see an opinion that varies from our own and either view it and try to understand the meaning behind it without getting our proverbial panties in a bunch, or simply ignore it and go on our way content with seeing things exactly as we do?

Yes, stupid people bug the shit out of me, yes they have a right to be stupid, and yes, just because i think they are stupid does not in any way invalidate their feelings of being anything other than stupid.  It is simply my opinion, and if i do reply to a thread i think is stupid, then perhaps i am the one being stupid for taking the time to actually think out a response.  i do not go out of my way to think of good mean names to call someone in the hopes that they will walk off the playground crying. Finding other less childish ways to make a point is far more satisfying... to me.  This is my view only, and thankfully i have thick enough skin to deal with those who disagree, and hey, if they seem to be making a valid point, i will pause to consider it.  Might not change my mind, then again it just might.



Raechard -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 12:49:25 PM)

Besides it’s all guns and knives in the playground these days, verbal insults are so last generation. You say something and ya get a shanking or similar approved.[8|]



SeeksOnlyOne -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 1:39:22 PM)

~fr~

one persons stupidity may be another persons idea of a great question, one persons intellectual thoughts may seem to be holier than thou behavior to another.  something funny to someone may cut someone else to the bone.

if someone is offended by you, intent or not, theyre offended.  if you find a question stupid, whether they intended it or not, you find it stupid. 

perhaps realizing that there are many different personalities on here, with many different levels of education (book learning and common sense), we could all learn something.

just my 2 cents......and mod 11 must be a saint to keep splainin this over and over.

t is absolutely 100% fine with me if people are insulting, as long as they are correct.  I had an email exchange on the other side two days ago with a female Ph.D., in which I told her that she was being pompous in the way she used words.  She responded by saying I was correct in every single point I raised.  Serious people think honesty and directness is more important than social varnish.  I could give you example after example of this, but I am going to stop now, so I hope you get the point.  If you don't, then perhaps you are more interested in self-defense than personal growth.


This is the way it shoud be. You certainly shouldnt have your character and manhood attacked for telling your opinion. That is just so immature and doesnt help elevate that persons status for getting upset from hearing other peoples opinions. We respect grown ups. Not people who complain about being attacked but then attacking themselves in a below the belt manner.



chellekitty -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 2:04:00 PM)

i have a migraine now and i didn't even try to read every post in this thread...i was just trying to read Ron's funny posts...but then i had to go back and read some b.s. to find out what the fuck he was talking about, and then it was like driving past a train wreck and i just couldn't look away...thank god for having a life today...no offence intended, of course...

Just to be Clear here- This in not in regards to any of my posts. I was an observer of  what was happening.
 
Added: I don't care how stupid anyones posts may be- and I don't believe that just because you think they are stupid or may not like the poster they desreve such treatment.

Don't agree fine- but purposely responding to all threads  made by the same person with belittling only shows me
"oh look she did another one come on girls lets go respond" high school antics, and before you may comment on that let me say Yes it did happen because it was the same people over & over doing it
 
 



Its funny you say this now. Just a couple days ago, i saw you lay a poorly veiled zinger to the so called "OP non grata." So when its convenient you are on 1 side and sometimes on the other? the thread was pulled but I can remember the barbed things you said.



kittinSol -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 2:12:41 PM)

How COULD you? Some people have dedicated a lot of time and energy to this thread! Dismissing this beauty of a thread as a train wreck is nothing short of krwel [:D] .



Raechard -> RE: Thread Hijacking (2/2/2008 2:14:27 PM)

Damn rubberneckers you know you're going to cause more accidents dammit!
