Not likely. Even when I have gotten in to arguments(aside from mafia games) they have been quite civil, if I see them turning toxic I tend to remove myself from the conversation because it's not worth it to allow myself or the other person to get that agitated, it's bad mojo.

I don't hate anyone either, IGCD. I get amused when people act like they are so offended and can't stand people, because at the end of the day we are all people with similar interests that hang in the same areas by choice and are a community. That's why people who use ignore and the block feature seriously perplex me. If you don't like the people here, why are you here? Or, if you can't like the people like you that you choose to go to the same places as, why are you that way? I don't get it. I might have tough love with some people like my former BFF Scarletspeed7, for example, but I would do relatively anything personally for anyone here that needed my help genuinely. Maybe that makes me naive, but I just consider it being a normal person who cares about those I choose to spend time with.

Then again, I haven't hated people as a person since I was in my early 20s maybe. Grudges don't make sense. Life can end in a moment. Why spend it hating? Why I went from a guy who was always up for a fight to someone who teaches my kid to never fight and always avoid it at all costs. I grew up at some point. Kudos to me.

You literally quit forever and then came back. It's not because you missed talking about video game popularity contests.

Have some introspection. Criticism is not about hate. And more importantly, apathy and aloof "neutrality" doesn't mean you're immune to hate. It's just sticking your head in the sand. A (pretty effective) placebo for happiness. But as you well know, it doesn't last.

I quit coming here because of personal issues in my life that I needed to focus on.

this post would make sense if this were a group of five people or something but there's tons of people posting here. if you hate the majority of them, you're right in that it wouldn't make sense to post here but that's not what it's like for me. it's more like i'm fine with most of the people here and i don't get along with some of them but i take this for granted.

also, you act like hating people is a choice. when there's people who have spent literal years acting like complete and total assholes to me (and i won't name names but they do exist), i find it hard to not feel hatred for these people. maybe you haven't had similar experiences posting here - maybe you have - but i can't adapt your approach.

i agree that it's not fun to hate people and i'd rather not but to me it's just a part of life. life isn't always fun.

Hatred is absolutely a choice, even when people hate you first. In the case of people hating you, determining likely reasons why is a good first step to not just reactively hate back.

If the reasons are invalid, shrugging off their hate becomes a lot easier. If they're valid, you can channel that energy into self improvement instead of hate.

A good second step is to determine how important the person is in your life, really. The less important they are, again, just shrugging them off becomes easier.

I'm not saying it's an easy choice to not hate, but there are steps you can take to try to avoid it, particularly on a message board. My negative feelings about anyone here have peaked at annoyance. I feel if you escalate beyond this using the ignore feature more may be helpful. Or maybe just detaching yourself from the board a bit more if you can.

I don't think if someone hates you then the urge is to hate them back. At least for most people. The typical reaction is more confusion or apathy or something. It's almost always apathy actually. So rarely does it result in introspection and self improvement. You can see that here with how proudly apathetic many people are. That is the natural result of a hateful culture.

how does this make sense? if anything, this makes me MORE hateful towards them. at least if i don't know the reasons for their hatred, i will leave open the possibility that these reasons are somewhat legitimate. i'm always willing to listen to criticism/feedback. but if it turns out they hate me for invalid bullshit reasons that make no sense, i just become angry at them.

i do agree that it matters who the hatred is coming from. if troll123 goes "HEY LASA YOU SUCK BECAUSE YOU SMELL LIKE POOP" i can shrug off his hatred easily, yeah. if it's people i've known as long as (or longer than) some of my real life best friends, shrugging off the hate isn't all that easy for me to do, though.

I mean if they're just making up reasons for hating you or hate you for a completely stupid reason then why does it matter to you?

Like I dunno take a step back and consider that instead of you it was a movie you liked, and they just pull something out of their ass to criticize the movie about that doesn't really apply but stick to their guns on it hard. Are you gonna take them seriously or are you going to just think they're an idiot or insane or whatever else?

Like I just don't see a reason to get upset about it unless they're really big parts of your day to day life. Which just shouldn't happen on a message board. Use the ignore feature if they're approaching that you won't miss the conversation that much trust me.

I couldn't care less.

Like some guy who makes movies says the MCU films are bad. So? It in no way affects my enjoyment of them.

Seriously? Once I heard Scorsese hated the MCU films I knew I could never watch them again, and retroactively started hating the ones I have seen.

Yeah a bit, I'd say, if they're not significant in your life. You'll interact with thousands of people in your lifetime, many of which will be idiots, insane, or just unpleasant or worthless people you shouldn't care about. Caring about all of them without regard to their significance in your life seems like a recipe to be unhappy. It's fighting a meaningless battle.

Whenever someone doesn't like you, think about how your life would change if they liked you instead. If the answer is that it wouldn't, or it wouldn't beyond you feeling a bit better about yourself, then it's meaningless, really.

That's not to say people on a message board can't be positive influences. Like there are people in this topic that would actually make me somewhat upset if they didn't like me enough to have conversations with me, but at the same time if they disliked me we probably would have never reached a point where I'd care if they disliked me either as they would have shunned me before we had many interesting conversations. So yeah it's just hard to care much about the people who hate in general, you know?

like i said, i have known (and have interacted with) some of my detractors on this board for years and years, though. so that kinda makes them somewhat significant in my life by default.

not as significant as my real life friends, no, but ahead of "random drunk guy on the street who yelled at me who i've never met before and will never meet again."

Why have you been interacting with them so long, though? Like if they don't like you are you really getting a lot out of the interactions? It's strange to me.

Like maybe the problem is you value interactions with people who are detractors of yours and you should try to limit interacting with those people? Like I can't really say there are any people like that with me. The ones who don't like me we just don't hang in the same places anyway. Probably the closest would be like Whiskey_Nick but I mean, he doesn't dislike me so much that he outright refuses to engage me or actively antagonizes me so it doesn't really matter.

i think i potentially get something out of them, yeah. xiii is cool has explicitly stated that he dislikes me and i'm not exactly a fan of him either. but not too long ago we had a short conversation about the quality of spider-man movies (we both agreed that spider-man 2 is the best one, he added that that was a different time for superhero movies). not a super deep exchange but enjoyable nonetheless.

not saying i always get something out of those interactions. i'm sure a lot of them are pointless arguments that i get into because of my argumentative nature but... i have those with people who do like me too >_> but at the end of the day, i think i would make the board rather boring for myself if i would solely interact with people who like me. especially with the board being extremely dead these days.

also, when i get attacked/insulted by people who dislike me, i almost always respond. what i "get out of" that is that i don't feel like a doormat.

None of us had wives back then but if the situation was there they would be all over it. Well that was their talk anyway. But a lot of them we've known for long enough to know they are more than just talk.

That's what Lasa was talking about and what Corrik doesn't get. These aren't just some kids of youtube calling you gay and telling you to kys. It's people we've known for a long time and know real things they have done and have had happened to them. You have to take them seriously.

For example, the people here who still make light of depression and suicide, or dangle suicide statistics for LGBT people etc, after having experienced multiple users literally posting suicide notes here and then dying. It's not just trolling and it's not ignorant and it's definitely not harmless. It's purposeful and shameless. To just ignore that behavior or at most be "annoyed" by their "shenanigans" shows such a lack of regard for your fellow individual that it can only be explained as an expression of hate itself.

There is so much daylight between "hate" and "the ignore button"

I think it's perfectly reasonable to be bothered by people who don't go as far as to "rape your wife" and to remove those people from your life. Living in San Francisco, there are people I run into or meet every day who turn me off.

Like yesterday, this dog walker yelled at me for eating french fries in an (on leash) park, because his dogs got riled up when they ran up (off leash) tried to steal them from me. Now, I'm not going to stop going to the park; I like the sunshine, I like the people I go with, I like the view and the dogs. But while I wouldn't go so far as to say I "hate" that guy, I would sure put him on ignore if that were possible IRL. As Lasa talked a bit about, filtering a town- or city- sized community (as b8 is? once was?) doesn't in any way diminish my experience of that community.
