Quoted from PanzerFreak:As I just mentioned to jwilson, who just called me a whiny bitc* through PM, I don't think some people on here realize they are talking to an actual person. It's pretty easy to sit behind a keyboard and toss out insults, I doubt many of the same people would act that way in person.
Others are right, I don't need to keep responding to every insult and should ignore those types of comments. I've had a lot going on in my life personally so that's why I'm on here often, talking about pinball has been an outlet. Pinside has changed a lot since I joined nearly 15 years ago in that while the site itself has continued to improve a ton there are simply more rude people here or at least people willing to be rude to others (maybe that just comes with more people joining). I'll do better about not engaging with them. I actually just unignored everyone I had on my ignore list, will try this again and add to it if needed.
I'm going to be blunt: you really need to focus on being introspective. The entire room, even the "nice" guys, are telling you that you're being too sensitive. I'll go a step further with my constructive criticism: your posts often lack the maturity of an adult. Stop making excuses for your behavior. If everyone is telling you you're the problem, take a moment and seriously consider their claims. You have an entire toy story thread dedicated to your personal issues related to internet debate. That alone clarifies your issues to everyone on Pinside, everyone but you. If you continue to refuse to be introspective, please, for the love of God, stop taking over threads with your B.S.
