Do you know anyone online who is...

Big bullies on Yuwie in capes who type everything in caps and leave big, blustering notices telling everybody how to behave? Deleted the moron... If it's somebody I like, I'll politely find some way to tell them. But if it's somebody who's rude all the time, hasta la vista!

Hi there! There are some of the members who just do not mind writing offensive language. Probably, they want to show to others that they are better than them and they damn care about politeness. I think those who are rude, are not welcomed on the social networking sites and later or sooner, others start ignoring them. If someone respond to my discussion in a rude manner, I just ignore him/her and refrain from posting my comments. I on my part, try to be as humble and polite as possible, even if I have different views.

YES I know people like this! I see people all the time who respond very rudely to some things. For example, just a few days ago on another forum, the person started a thread but spelled some words wrong. Someone replied "well if you can't spell, perhaps your opinion should just be ignored." RUDE! I mean it is one thing to point out that someone made typos, but quite another to insinuate that their opinion means squat b/c they can't spell/type. I've learned to deal with it by trying to nicely tell the person if their comment was mean or uncalled for. The worst thing you can do is be rude back. Once you do that, you'll just start a comment war. If you nicely point it out, sometimes the person WILL actually apologize for being rude. However if a person is consistently rude in the online world, I just ignore them. No need to constantly try to have conversations with people who are mean all the time.

Yes, there are people who are rude and they are fully aware of it, that was their intent. However, there are some who appear to be rude, but it is just the way they talk when they type. Did you ever hear of doing a b*tch check after you type something? I learned that at work, that you should always do a check to make sure that what you are writing is not going to be perceived wrong. So it could possibly be that they really aren't rude people, they are just writing like the way they talk, and it can come off wrong. We need to see between the lines when we read someone's response, so we don't go crazy and assume the wrong thing.

Sometimes you can tell that someone is being rude by what they are saying. However, sometimes when I try to be funny in a sarcastic kind of way, I think that people might think I'm being rude or nasty. I honestly don't mean to be, but it is harder to tell "tone" on-line than in person or over the phone. Some people have a dryer sense of humor than others, so sometimes it might sound rude and nasty when they are just trying to play and have fun. Obviously, though, there are statements that are just downright rude and uncalled for. I do not know why people feel the need to be that way, but they are the same way in person, too. I do think that sometimes people feel better about themselves when they put others down. I never really understood that concept, but I do know that some people feel that way.

for sure. i know some people on forums who really dont care about the way they present themselves. sometimes i wanna tell them to stop but i hate to take the role of moderator and be a tattle tail.

Oh, I definitely know how you feel. I have come upon these people here in mylot and other online sites. They're indeed a bunch, and worst, they feel that they own the site. But I guess fretting and stressing up with these people would do no-good to you, your day, your system. So, I would just read a line or two, then completely ignore the post. Perhaps there's some sore of insecurity going in with the real lives, that's why the torment of their existence screams out inversely with their posts. There are those who have no voice in their meager lives that's why they'd love to take the limelight (to the point of being rude) here online. The one thing that they want most is to torment the readers and the topic starters. Having to react to these childish rudity would only lead you to anger for something that could be completely avoided. So, in my side of the coin, I would rather just ignore, rather than put my precious mylot time reacting to the unending qualms of their voiceless existence.

Mostly such people are found in chat sites and forums too, but the best way is to avoid them, mostly in the chat sites there is a ignore button so he/she is ignored and you will not know about their activity but on forums it is better to point out to the admin that you have faced such an issue with the following member by bringing it forward to them exactly and how you felt and what made you feel it was rude, so the admin takes care of this once for all...smiles...thanx

I have run across people in forums who seem rude. Sometimes they say they didn`t mean to seem that way though. But others I guess just like to be that way. If they don`t agree with you they will be rude. People in real life can be the same way. They want the last word and want to be right no matter what. I just ignore them. There is no law that says you have to respond to a rude person.

Hi Babyangie, Will some people actually doesn't know that the way they type the sentences sounds rude. Why I say this? because often I write something and when my partner reads it he told me that there is no friendliness in the way I wrote sentences but this doesn't mean of being careless its just for me English language is not my first language and I may speak it well but when it comes to writing its different. But I do know some people too that to get what they want they always have to be rude. I know some people too that replies into some of the discussion with rude words and thus are really obvious. And to answer your question about does being rude make somebody happy I would say yes. Some people are happy to live a miserable life and that what they become. Happiness and being nice is really not part of it. If you get some of this things just let it go and don't get it affect you. Happy Myloting

Hi babyangie, if you want to observe rude, opinionated people who shout and use offensive language to others, you need look no further than the politics interest on mylot. The name calling there is beyond belief, it is more reminiscent of a playgroung fight between children than a discussion area for adults. I don't even dare enter there as one difference of opinion with someone on their soap box leads to verbal abuse and the loss of ones star.

I guess it's in their attitude and there are really people who are just simply mean.I guess it's best to just avoid them if you can't handle them.

Oh I have to admit that I have known myself to have been that rude sometimes and can't say it was not in purpose. Well most the time I am considerate of people and super patient, but there are times when I have just had it with the nonsense some people post on different places that just uses up my last ounce of patience and I just let them have it. I would not do that to make me feel superior or better, just to push them to grow up and I had enough of it.

I really don't care if somebody is rude to me online. I mean what's the point getting affended by a few words? Well maybe for some people it effects them but me, I just let on pass by. I can't waiste my time listening to a rude person that make's things more complicated for me. I don't like to deal with things that get's in the way of me living my life.

hi babyangie I found a number of rude mylotters back when I made a discussion on smoking being unhealthy but it sort of shocked me that a lot of those people are not even here now so maybe mylot admins did not appreciate their being so bloody rude.
