Stop the bullying.. / start acting..

Oh God yeah, so it does, I'm pissed now so I can let my hair down (all three threads of it) and be less sanctimonious! Off for a piss. bye bye.

Well... at least I can somewhat understand what he is trying to get across, horrid spelling or not.

The posts that I hate are the ones that seem to be written in pure Ebonics. There is nothing that will make me get the flamethrower out, or at least ignore the thread even if I have an answer for it, more than someone saying something like:

Yo dawg, dis sheit be da bomb! (Or something to that effect. sorry about the poor grammer there, I was raised in a school system that was Pre-Ebonics friendly. You had to actually learn proper grammar back then.)

So if you stay away from posting S H I T like the above mentioned, I can overlook poor spelling and grammer...as long as I can understand it.

Shizzle my Nizzles, I'm outie.... Peace

This forum never used to be so politically correct...When I started out here, I was new to 'forums', and had never even known what an online forum was; I believe I said something (at the time, I was barely fourteen, was still ignorant to the world) that angered some people, and they responded with anger, as they should have.

So, what came about all of this? Were they bullying me? **** no!!! Immediately after that happened, I recognized that internet forums are different, and that your writing style has to 'fit in'. I was in no way a bad speller, ever; (I won my Middle School's Spelling Bee, 3 years in a row)

What I'm getting at is, who cares? It will happen, just let it go. There's no need to defend someone on here, just because he's getting teased.

We have a vocabulary ediquette here, and it is not too hard to follow. Some people are exempt (mostly those in which English is not their native tongue), but for the rest of us, it is just more respectable, and easier to read.

So, back to the subject; Deal with it. I'm sick of the whole "Johnny's getting teased at school, i'm going to file a lawsuit" crap that goes on in America (I live in America, you damn patriots). How come "Why?" is never asked? For example;

Q: Why is Metalic Dude getting ripped on?"

A : Because he isn't following proper online ediquette, he is disregarding his own posts, he doesn't realize that this isn't a chat room (We have one, though), and is basically, wasting forum space.

For the epic thread "OMG GUYS.......etc", that was a wasted thread. I could take you to the end of this very earth with that. There was no point whatsoever for that thread. If you want to tell complete strangers that you made a song, do it in a chat room, where people care.

i agree..maybe this post should be locked or terminated to stop further bashings upon metallic dude

I never said something like "omg guys".....

'True enough, but I think that gives you some idea of the way the overall tone of your post came across to people. Instead of sharing your joy, people started laughing. That isn't what you intended, and it may not show the rest of us at our best, but it does show that we're all very human. And we've been successful at not becoming Politically Correct.

If you have a sound card, you could try posting your own trick, based on one of your favourite riffs. I admit, I've never posted any myself. After hearing some of the stuff on here, I pretty much decided that I had nothing to show people here, in terms of playing, so I found my own niche - something useful that I could offer.

This is a great website - the best, I think. And there are a lot of people here. So while you've got everyone's attention, you have a chance to 'make your mark'. Or not. You're welcome here, whatever you do. And anyone here can think, and post, pretty much whatever they feel like.

hmm.. a moderator really does MODERATE.

Incidents, it's eTiquette :)

Spelling bee ain't wot they used tah bee...

lol; my mistake. See? Nobody is perfect.

And while thinking on this subject, I decided that I don't care, either way. Sometimes it takes a while for your brain to say "Wait; Why does this matter to you?".
So, my conclusion, as it was previously, "Who gives a damn?".

I think my dislike of Metalic Dude's attitude started when he posted on my "Brain Stimulation Theory", saying that he has seen all these things that I never have, and never will, and that basically, books are a waste of time. I happen to be a very avid fan of J.R.R Tolkien's works (Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Silmarlion, Unfinished Tales, etc), and by saying that his books are "Pink and happy" proved to me that he didn't know what he was talking about, in that matter; anyone who has read Two Towers or Return of the King knows that as the series moves forward, they get darker and darker, and are in no way a laughing matter, or 'happy' books at all.

But whatever; I'm just going to close my ideas on this individual by saying that every characteristic he's shown on these forums are the ones that I personally despise, especially the lack of a will to learn. How humans can say "No, I don't care, I don't want to learn that, i don't want to read books" is really upsetting to me, and the amount of people that have this attitude towards education is even more upsetting.

One of the few things that my girlfriend does that REALLY pisses me off, is when, for instance, we're watching a show in Spanish or Hebrew (the two languages she's fluent in other than english), or listening to someone or some individuals speak that language, and she goes, "oh, hahahahaha," at something they said, or does the whole "oooooohhhhhh good point" thing and then just sits there and waits for you to ask what they said. Or she'll see some random obscure object she knows something about, and goes, "oh, that's a nice ______." And nothing else.

When someone is like "hey i made this awesome song" and doesn't even post tabs, and then goes "i'm afraid to post it" I think to myself, "fine then, be that way, whatever." I just normally don't care enough to even say anything.... same with grammar.

Right! Right! You are absolutely right with that. But when you mix the two, plus the negative attitude, you (and anyone who is reading this) can understand why people reacted. I normally don't care either, but a combination between a post that butchers the english language, no tabs or mp3s whatsoever to his riffs, and just the general tone/vibe I got from his posts, it all adds up.

Onto the ladies...
From what I've found is that girls take so much time away from your schedule, that sometimes they just aren't worth it. My last girlfriend dumped me because on three saturday nights in a row, I sat in my room playing my Les Paul instead of courting her to the movie theater. Well, it was that, and the fact that I never called her, never wrote her emails, etc. Basically, I'm not very good at relationships, my longest relationship with a girl lasted 29 days, and I just didn't want to deal with it anymore. My last girlfriend was 2 years ago, but I get along with women very well, despite that. I always wonder "Why do girls need so much damn attention? ", and I often ask girls this, which usually gets the response "We like to feel special". This response usually makes me want to vomit. I realize where they are coming from, but it sounds so incredibly cheesy, even them saying that. A friend of mine once asked me if I was going out with a 'girl' friend of mine, and I said "nah, haven't gone out with a girl in 2 years"...he responded with "why is that?" and I said "Hinders my growth in guitar, girls take time away from my guitar" and he went nuts, like "wtf!? are you f-ing serious!? That's messed up!". Then, that weekend I showed him some Django licks and he suddenly realized that I wasn't kidding.

You are realy bored dudes...get a life...how much can you wright? (I don't care if I got a spelling problam and I don't give a **** what people think about me here...you don't know me dudes..)

Yo my friend. As long as you shared your joys, even in bad spelling, it was fine. But don't go around insulting people. If you can't take constructive criticism, that's quite sad. I myself am a French native, and I sometimes read my posts twice before publishing them. It's by sheer respect for those who'll take the time to read me, and to the english language. So come on. I could get beyond the bad spelling, but I won't bother if I need to read insults coming from you.

Hmm. see where you're coming from incidents, I've been on my own much longer than I'd care to admit, used to be 'cause I was ****ed up 'case my parents split up, my mum was veryill, my sister was suicidal and my "best friend" was a malicious compulsive liar. That's all changed now but I don't know if I could spare anyone worthwhile the time they might deserve etc.
Guitar demands commitment but thankfully not fidelity. I've played the field a bit and love my flatmate's Mexican Strat but my Ibanez is very understanding and doesn't get pissed of 'cause she's not the only neck I stroke nor does she get insecure when I play with another (frankly better) whammy unit. I couldn't get that kind of understanding from a woman. If playing Django licks makes you happy that's great; it's useful to have an all-consuming hobby (I have 3, guitar, wildlife and cycling) 'cause people are so bloody un-reliable. It's important to strive to improve yourself every day keeping your eyes on the distant horion and know that it's the journey not the end that matters.

By the way, Tolkien's cute and fluffy as an indian Cobra hidding in a chamber pot.

Get a life? I have access to many, that's what I love about fiction.

iiholly was on here for a while, I remember we teased her about how short her posts were (she'd post a reply with just 'lol', and that's it. If PonyOne is the king of LongWinded Posts, she was for short posts). It was all positive and upbeat though, she took it like a man (er.....woman). I don't know where she went, I assume that school started for her already.

Don't flame people it is pointless and will only get your post deleted.

Moderators can and will censor offensive posts and you Enslavedtometal are very close to or over that line.

Seconded!

I apalogize for my comment, I was extremely frustrated about this whole thing when I wrote it; had I not said anything, 'enslaved' or whatever, probably wouldn't have made his post; I will edit it right now.

I really dont like editing or deleting people's posts, however this post has obviously crossed the red line.
