The poster Above is Famous For...

I am Indian in real life. I have a BMW in real life. My family's well off in real life. That's all you've criticized me about. I'm a troll on the boards. Which doesn't bother me. The bold part makes no sense at all. Are you attacking my internet reputation and not my nationality and car? Then go right ahead. But you weren't. 
Yes you are a little smug rich kid troll on the board. Now, you attached your own conclusions to that and promptly wrote a full paragraph about your precious motor car.
Now what does that tell you?
LAL! I win.
Yupp Yupp. Most of the conflict just comes from a handful of members though.. they seem like trying to push peoples buttons then stand back and see what happens..
When I first joined, when there was a whole bunch of other members (who have now left) who did the same thing.. the ones who remained still do it, and the ones who left have been replaced..
the main reason I left initially was because the crap by one member and the 'board drama' he tried to create..
Then i realised.. its a fucking forum!!! Why take it so seriously!!!

this is a serious misunderstanding on your part, one that generally pissed me the fuck off for years. nothing personal, but a lot of people seem to say what you just did.
so explain this to me: why is it that when i mock other members or tell them to go fuck themselves, or i create a funny picture that mocks them, i'm so much more serious than when i spend hours trolling porn, watching television, or make general captioned pictures like in the funny motivational posters thread? i understand what you mean, at one point something got too ridiculous for you and so you got bored with the forum, that's all good. but presuming that just because someone is doing something you don't understand or wouldn't do, they are serious, is something i don't understand and never will. NOTHING i put in here is serious. you people don't even know who the fuck i am. only two people on this board ever met me, and those two people are really the only people whose affection or acceptance i care for. that's always been the way i saw it, and i don't see why somebody thinks anybody put more thought to it than that. look at my anti-bacho profile. do you think i really spend a lot of time worrying about him?
again, not trying to be unfriendly here, just trying to make you see a chain of thoughts. "serious" is a funny word.

I must admit I like fishcrack. 
You touched on an interesting subject, though. How much of internet is serious? We all say we don't care, and most of us take most of it not serious, but there must be some part of it that is indeed taken seriously.
Obviously the nature of the conversation counts heavily towards this. In a thread such as this, I don't give a hoot. But say we're discussing a WoW topic, I'd be more likely to take something more serious than any other post.
Is verbally standing up for yourself taking things serious? I'm quite sure dilla didn't lose any sleep tonight after I called him a little troll (well, I hope not anyway, for his sake), but at the same time he does feel the need to respond (this is not a diss, curryboy, you're merely an example). Like anyone would do, for that matter.
So, where does one draw the line? Of course, to be ahead of the lame-o pack, technically it depends on every specific situation, the people involved, the topic etc etc.
But I'm sure there must be some middle ground somewhere in the big grey area that is "serious on the intarwebs".

you must separate though. there's online reactions to online actions that have real-life ramifications. telling you to fuck off because you're such a fucking nerd or loser wouldn't, telling you all the moles in your face makes you look like an animal would.
verbally standing up for yourself is serious within our little sphere here. let's make one thing very clear, maybe it's not true for everyone and i can only speak for myself, but it would amaze me a lot if someone could be taught something about themselves on here. i know myself better than all of you. no one here can teach me anything about myself as a person. no one goes around sporting all their negative personality traits, but that doesn't mean they don't know about them. case in point, when i make long posts i do so very consciously because of experiences i've had that any of you people might not understand. i'm not too stupid to understand what's geeky and negative about it, i am too stubborn to bow to somebody else's perception of what is good and what is bad though.
what i'm getting at is that you can't hurt me unless you get personal, and even then, you're not breaking me news. chances are that even the worst diss someone could throw at me here, i would have heard from someone else before. that's as serious as it can get. if someone told me something about myself that i didn't already know, i probably really needed to hear it anyway.
back to what i talked about earlier, we have this little community here. within that community i can be funny, excited, pissed. i go here daily, if someone causes a minor inconvenience that still is there it will be brought to my attention for the short time of a whole day i spend here. if something very cool happens, i'll be very happy, but confined by the fact that i'm still on an online messageboard. i'll leave that at that and anybody who doesn't understand it should read a children's book to gain a level of being deep. when i'm playing a game i'm happy when i win and angered when i lose. when i quit playing those emotions are only valid within the little subordinate world of video games that has no relevance in my real life. i don't go off at someone because i just got killed by a monster in a game, and i don't get a self-esteem boost by killing at least three monsters in a very short frame of time. apply this same logic to the board and its on-goings. i diss someone but i then get out of my computer chair and it's not even part of the thoughts i'm processing that concern my day-to-day life, and my current day's schedule.
that's not what he was talking about though. he presumed that because two people were going at each other, it was serious. i'm never as unserious as i am when i throw shit at others on here, and there is nothing i care less for than the things i'm actually saying to them. nothing means less for me in my world than those things. but he's saying he left because things got so serious with the disses. i beg to differ that the more time someone spends making a fool of someone else, the more bullshit it is. was i serious when i spent ten minutes finding, downloading and installing photoshop to put a red cross over the map of georgia? you can choose to think so if you like, but come on. time is time, no one here should claim to be some superimportant individual. time is not money to anyone here so why take a highroad like i'm wasting my precious time when i spend it mocking other people, when fact is, most people here kill a lot more time in front of the tv or pc than they should, or work dead-end jobs, or go out drinking, or do other completely useless shit that's only more important from their point of view. what about gaining a higher understanding and seeing your own bullshit. i'm a fat lazy dork and i was freed by accepting that fact. doesn't mean i don't work hard or do good things, i'm just not sporting that holier than thou attitude just because someone's doing something i don't like to do.

I know what you mean, but thats exactly my point! I took it too seriously at first then had realisation you said above.
I dont have a misunderstanding. You're thinking I take it seriously but I dont..
I can take all the sarcastic comments myself and not let it affect me..now.. I understand that people have built some real friendships on this board and Im not knocking that, Ive built some too. (ive not met anyone but there is 1 person Im in regular contact with through email).. just a back and forth thing, but just as acquaintances I guess.
Like you, I can rattle off a bunch of names of people who are far too interested with trying to be the cool person on the board by genuinley trying to push buttons.. Even after coming back Ive taken a few shitty comments on the chin and not raged all out warfare like I would have done 6 years ago..
The reason I left was because someone was because I was friends with someone and this other person didnt like it, so tried to embarass me by quoting all this personal shit I told this other member.. so rather than try and get even, I just said fuck it.. in the end, neither was worth me giving up the endless enjoyment I have from reading and participating in some of the stupid stuff that goes on here...
Like I said in another post, ive become a more cynical peron when it comes to this board, but it really comes down to what you said, NO ONE knows me, and I couldnt give a shit what my standing is here, the only people who's opinion really matters to me arent on the internet and locked up in some cyber world, where my only contact with them through pm and email

^ That too, but I didn't mean specifically tied to a message board. But when I used to play WoW (huhuhuhuh) and we killed Ragnaros (he was a very mean person) I felt quite happy about that the rest of the evening. But then again, such occasions are still very rare. Usually you forgot about such things when you're not behind the computer.
