Been many threads lately where the same argument comes up and I'm not trying to debate that situation but what side of the fence are you on?
1.This is the internet and it can't be taken seriously
2. The manner of which you conduct yourself online is the same as how you act in person.
Personally I'm a 1, wouldn't mind seeing who's the majority and who says one thing but does the other.

Even on line, you are still communicating with people.
Even when you play, you play with another person.
It is all about communication.
If a person has a bad attitude in real life he'll show it on-line as well.

and I thought this was going to be a discussion on SHawk's Mullett...how you play is how you play, life and internet. <S>

I treat everyone the way I'd want to be treated. That's in person or online or in a old fashion snail mail.

I make banter and joking insults with my friends in real life as well. We know it's all in fun and games and we don't mean it. Same with the internet. Don't take things seriously, we're here to have fun.

I don't see how the medium in which I'm interacting with another person has any bearing on how I should talk to or treat them.

Two.

I agree with 100%.

I am who I am, whether in person or online...

you are who you are. Its just that in real life you have to live with consequences of what you say or do where on the internet you can hide.
I would suggest that you stop these threads accusing others of being hypocrites and show us how brave you are. Post what said here and let HT and the community decide who is a hypocrite and if it is ok because its the internet. I dont think you have the balls to do it.
I have two daughters. If you said that to them and I was there, you can imagine what would happen. So, man up and say it again in a place where you cannot hide behind the internet excuse or let it go.

the retardnet...the same effect as alcohol...the more you imbibe the bigger your balls get.

Agreed. Also ask anyone who have had actually met me in person and they will tell you that I treat them how I am treated.
-

Thought that was elephantitis... :eek: (kidding)
Alcohol has caused some issues in the game. I regret some things I've said in the past. Live and learn though I've been taught.
I've been away from the game for a while, but I still enjoy visiting the forums. I have taught myself not to post anything on here, when I've had too much.

I treat people in AH or any other online game as I would in person. The internet is just the medium through which you interact with other people in online games it isn't what you're interacting with.
-

You're absolutely right, it shouldn't. Common decency and manners is supposed to.
-
Looks like the community is not split as evenly as it looked....hate to say this but might take Midway's advice to some and"change my ways".
I think it may be the Xbox live/ PlayStation online generation who look at the internet as it's just the internet nothing else.
-
I'm in the treat others as you would like to be treated group. The mechanism used for communications irrelevant. However....I do find it easier to ignore alot of what is said in game as I understand that alot of things said online would not otherwise be said face to face. In other words the fact that we communicate from a distance with psuedonyms tends to promote bad behavior in some folks and that is a fact of life in internet gaming. I don't have to live or work with anyone in the game so there isn't much they can say that really effects me in any way unless I allow it to effect me. There are a few individuals who seem to feel empowered by attempting to make others mad...which is sorta sad. I do tend to use squelch so I don't have to see or hear stuff I don't feel like seeing or hearing which removes that power over me once it becomes hard to ignore them outright.

I tend to be a little more aggressive or whiney as the case may be from time to time online than I am in real life but the things that happen to me in the game also don't happen to me in real life. Usually it's just frustration. I don't do the "persona" thing.
That said I like to play mind games with the witless whiners once they decide to start something with me but very few do anymore.

1.This is the internet and it can't be taken seriously [or]
2. The manner of which you conduct yourself online is the same as how you act in person.
Both.
I expect 1 from most everyone else, while holding MYSELF to the standards of 2.
You can't expect 2 from everyone else, because of 1.

Ive been flying for 10 years now and have never once insulted anyone on 100 in warbirds or 200 AH. I treat people the way I want to be treated. If Im insulted, they aren't worth my time, I ignore them. Im here to have fun and that's it!
-
Hmm looks like the majority is leaning towards being cowardly mob monkeys who hide behind the safety of the horde... politely.
Playing style is "communication," right?
:aok
:noid
:bolt:

It's an interesting subject. When you communicate with text it's not really human communication. Seventy percent of communication is non verbal, so that leaves your imagination to fill in the other 70%. So it's sort of like an ink blot test, you project your assumptions and anxieties. In text you don't have the emotional stimulation from sight or from sound, and that's very important. For example there is something called Copgras syndrome which is caused when a specific part of the brain is damaged. What happens is vision is disconnected from emotional memory, so when the person sees a family member or anybody else that they are acquainted with, they are convinced that the person is an imposter because there is no emotionality attached to the sight of that person. If they speak with their mom on the phone for example, they know it's their mom, but when they meet they will be convinced that their mom is an imposter that looks exactly like their mother. There are very real reasons why people treat eachother so differently via text or online vs in person, or even by phone. The main reason like I said is when you communicate via text you're not really communicating with another human. I mean you are, but you aren't as far as some important parts of your brain are concerned.

We all have quirks that others don't understand...but that's what makes us GREAT !! IMO no one can accurately comprehend meaning just from voice... to many actors out there if you know what I mean. Think back how many times WE, yes WE, ditched someone because of any reason just to find out later that they are stand up good ole boys (Old School, to my superiors whoever they are).
I can be extremely belligerent at times :D :x :salute but most the time its cause it gets to be too much fun sending punches, But, Yes I have made mistakes, haven't we all... I'll still bet any person that face to face we could be best of buds but audio does me no justice :x
LIKE HE SAID "HAVE FUN"
BUT I SAY "SCREW THE REST".......LOL
-
I don't see how the medium in which I'm interacting with another person has any bearing on how I should talk to or treat them.
Yep. Too many folks want to hide behind their 'persona' as an excuse that we should accept them as 'that's the way they are."
Being respectful an aware that you are sharing the turf with other people, is not asking to much whether it be in a game or in real life.
-
2.
I have used 1. to justify being a tard though at times, there is less pressure on the internet with the creation of handles, nicknames and personas so to speak than in real life.
How would all behave if we all had to use our full real names with a picture of ourselves as the avatar.
-
This thread thread reminds me of when a broad gets peed off about something I texteded and I have to remind her that texting isn't real life.
That's why people, myself included, find it hilarious when others get so angry over yahoo news comments, or YouTube comments or this forum or chan 200. They have lost perspective so far that they have forgotten its not real. It's like watching somebody swear and throw beer cans at the smurfs on tv.
-
I think if you are in the group of people who whine, moan, post abusive pm's, have hissy fits when others aren't doing what you want online and all the other crap .........but you only do it online but not in real life it tells me this.
You ARE a moany, whiney, abusive, spoilt, pain in the arse, its just you don't do it in the real world cos other decent people wont let you get away with it.
-
Both 1 and 2 for me. I act online as I act in person, and I take everything over the internet with a grain of salt, if you don't you should rethink your priorities. :aok
-
2.
Why would a nice guy act like an arse on the intardnet (and also vice versa)?
-
Online all you have is the reputation you build. Be honorable.
-
I play to have fun, and act the same as I would in RL. Treat others as I would like to be treated and always be polite. :cheers:

In real life I dont look for ways to shoot people.

I'm both internet is for fun, laughs, helping, meeting people, and now it's a social interaction. The way I act here on the forums and ingame is who I am as a person.
I love to instigate, I'm very competitive, yet I love to help. I also give people my respect as it's earned not a giving right. :aok
-
I play this game to have fun. So I act here as I would face to face.
I want to have fun while not spoiling fun for others. It can be done!
:airplane: :D

I'm a total bastid in real life...the internet offers me the chance to be a nice guy

#2 Just the way I was raised. :cheers:

For one reason and one reason alone. This is a game and games were designed to have fun. People have fun WINNING at games and getting in someone's head helps you win.
I'm not the same guy in RL...or am I?

Number 2. Maybe we need a kiddie pool for all the number ones. You know, daycare for adults so the rest if us can enjoy our game. :old

'Cause I play to unwind and have fun and I want the other players to have fun. You know the red faced guy at the rec league softball game that screams at the ref over a bad call, gives him a shove and then kicks over the water cooler as he goes back to his bench? He's no fun. He takes away from the game and looks like an idiot who is really just pissed because he didn't make it in college ball, went bald and ended up as a sandwhich artist at his younger sisters Subway franchise.
-
I think every single person involved in on line gaming that is in the least bit a competitive person will have elements of both 1 and 2 in them, and the situation will dictate which one is dominant at the time.
-
there are people that i thought were total buttheads...until a phone call was made, then my mind was totally changed about them. i can think of several people like that.
most people on the boards, they hide behind their computers. get them in person or on the phone. whole different story. Most of the time better sometimes not.
as for me, im mostly the way i am in real life, i try to be helpful and respectful to all people. everything has a limit though. there are times when im not respectful, and want to be a total ass, but then i just use one of my shades! :D
good luck and gods speed!

<------- 1 + 2 = 3
I are gut at math. :rock

and I thought this was going to be a discussion on SHawk's Mullett...how you play is how you play, life and internet. <S>
When you make that a thread 999 I will break out mullet jokes.

Sigh
Ok, me and Changeup go to the bar to play pool. We beat these two hippies fair and square, now the hippies are mad and get two biker wanna bees to help them cause they want to fight. At this point, Changeup is me best friend cause without him I'm fuked.
So
Changeup is the squad/friendly
Hippies are enemy
None of this happens without what.......so once again ITS ABOUT THE FIGHT
Oh btw....the wanna be biker is INK

:huh :huh :huh :huh :huh :huh :huh Then I show up! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: Nekked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :neener: :neener: :neener: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :neener: :neener: :neener: :neener:

100% dead on...for someone yelling at an umpire which is retarded. But that's not what we're talking about here...yelling at umps.
Now, when you go to the plate, if you decide to tell the catcher that his sister is great looking naked but not nearly as good in the sack as his mom, that is a much closer analogy to what actually happens in-game. This is what Im talking about. Not the HO, RAM, ALTFAIRY rants. I give those people a ration so they'll come back lookin for me and I can try to kill um.
There is an enormous difference.

I am on neither fence, depending on the situation on a given day a person's judgement may differ depending on different factors and influences..
Mind games are good fun :)

This.
There is bantering, general oafishness, joshin' about...but there are limits. Just as in real life,if one doesn't understand those limits and says something out of bounds...others will point out the issue.
General rule of thumb: If you wouldn't say it in real life, don't say it here. If saying it in real life would have consequences you'd normally not like ...say, getting your lights punched out, publicly embarassed etc...don't say it here.
Enough of this subject....It's getting old and some won't ever learn...
For the record...I am #2. I kid and give a hard time here but no more so than real life. I expect the same from the rest of you psychotics....again, while adhering to the general rule of thumb above.

But wait! Maybe we could suggest a spin-off game "Band of Blowhards" ! What do you think? :-O

why spin it off, the arenas have been doing a good job of holding all of them...
you clowns are all boring...same old b.s. about whose dragging who's whatzit through someone elses biscuits and who took a crap when it happened. nobody cares. like a bunch of menopausal women with nothing better to do but get offended something some faceless numbnuts half a world away is doing in his neighbors back yard. oh the shame, they should pass a law... :rolleyes:

Somehow I feel like this kind of questions makes one seriously think if there's something gone seriously wrong in fostering kids for a long time. I've been raised to treat others like I'd like to be treated. On the other hand, I, too might turn out to be

Number 2 for me. Good question though. There is no such thing as secure data, never has been, never will be. Today skip-tracing is a simple affair. I do not think it wise to behave in a provocative manner. Just my opinion but I do not feel safely anonymous. I do feel accountable for the things I say and do. :noid :neener: :old: :ahand :bhead :uhoh :bolt:
