[mightymarty2]

i don't know but some people are just mean like that and some people try and help but there actions get misinterpreted

[P-girl]

Well..... some of us don't like to be misled by false information.
And if it's done in the right tone (A nice one).... what's wrong with correcting a mistake?

I wish I had a valid answer to your question, but sadly there may never be one. This all I have to say, there will always be conflicts between people unless they learn how to get along.

yea sometimes ppl can blow there tops off at an innocent person

I've noticed that too, (not so much here, though, as elsewhere).

I think, with the internet, true emotion is hard to express. So people may come off as rude even if that's not what their intention was just because of the fact that you can't see them express what they are trying to say, you just read their words and interpret it (and one may interpret it differently from another).
Thank goodness for emoticons; they help with that a bit.

I think, though, you can definitely tell when someone really meant to be rude. Like, they attack the person that made the comment instead of simply correcting them or offering their own opinion. You see this a lot on sites like youtube; people call others names and such (that's what I mean by attacking).

No one likes to have their feelings hurt, and calling people names online is a form of cyberbullying, which is not accepted here, nor on many other sites. But when people are simply correcting another person, and even if it comes off as "cold", simply remember that they probably did not mean for it to be interpreted that way (like said above). Most are not trying to hurt feelings when they're expressing their own opinions or additions/corrections.

Great speech, Boo.

[Boo]

Nice way to put it, Boo, I agree with everything you just said.

Great speech, Boo.

*feels quite flattered*
Thanks. ^_^

[Purityangel]

You took the words right out of my mouth, Boo. Great speech overall, I have to agree with you. ^_^

[Zhanneel]

I like how you put that too Boo =).

And let this fanatic be a lesson to anyone who takes it upon themselves to become overly involved in a discussion that really is not worth the time or stress.



So when you feel defensive, calm down, take a deep breath, look at opinions from all angles, and think before you type.

Also the "anonymous factor". People who may never have the guts to be rude in person feel safely empowered behind their locked doors and ergonomic keyboard.

So try not to take anyone too seriously on the net. Often their bad behavior has more to do with their hang-ups than it does with any minor mistake you may have made WinxBloom.
