Ugh! >_> Annoying people

[Destrus]

Emphasis mine. Aren't you doing...exactly what you say you're against? Just clarifying your statements.

I agree 100% with the above poster and I find it funny how you both contradict yourselves.

i can see how it looks like that but at the same time taking a guess i can say the comments are in their right place this time.

i mean when stuff like this comes up it does make the ones who complain sound hypocritical but when it comes to this subject you can't say what you mean without sounding hypocritical. so i usually go along the thought lines that when its someone complaining about someone else doing it without the complainer first doing it themselves or to other people they're not being hypocritical. but that's just how i think about it.

I suppose my whole point is that you can express that opinion without actually doing it yourself. Let me crack out my editorial pen:

Loki:

I think it sux that there are people who feel that they can't live a day without trying to cause everyone else headaches and without trying to belittle everyone else.

They attempt to make themselves look better by trying to make everyone else look worse, whether it's by disparaging the way they do something, or the way they say something or the way they look.

It's also a shame we can't respond to these annoying pests without risk of getting in trouble.

Sound like this describes you? Well, maybe it does. Oh boo hoo!

Spirit:

Some people can only make their life "feel" exciting by making comments about others to try and make themselves feel big. When the truth is, it changes nothing. Their life is no better, because until they do something to change their lives, it will not change. And our lives still go on.

See? Same information without resorting to the behaviour described in the original post. Although this might be "disparaging the way they do something" as Loki referenced in the first post. Then again, I recognize it as part of the human condition and don't let it get to me. This is purely constructive.

you just cut out the rage sections

[Hraesvelg]

It seems beyond silly to get enraged over behaviour you then commit. Do two wrongs make a right? Are you then angry at yourself for resorting to the same behaviour you commit? I'm curious how that works. Is it a case of cognitive dissonance?

this is all the rage, we must have rage D:

One can express rage without name calling or belittling. "These people make me extremely angry, I could rip off their heads! It makes me want to raze a village to the ground and salt the earth. MAY THE WRATH OF THE GODS RAIN DOWN UPON THOSE PEOPLE!" etc, etc. ::shrug::

I only brought this up because the motivation for human behaviour is a fascinating topic. It seemed an opportunity to shine some insight on the human condition.

yea but i think this case is a bit different than some others just because of the environment and what brought it on.
