Maturity

Maturity... I wonder where it's gone. I read a few posts and I'm going to use the names of the members that are lacking in it while bashing another for the same thing. In fact, numerous members have announced their dislike for this member, but these two have really brought this to a new low.
------ and ------ have been doing nothing but say the following statements in their posts regarding -------:
1. Your opinions don't matter
2. Shut up, dumbass.
3. Just shut up. No one likes you, so why stay?
Alright, in these examples alone, the level of maturity is nil. ----- made mistakes. Ok, fine, now you have too. You're officially part of the same group here. It's more mature of you to not yell out how stupid a person is and if you like to argue with the idiot, how smart does that make you? ------ and ------ are smart, but this is not acceptable from them or from any member because of the following, and this is why those examples are numbered:
1. Your opinions don't matter. [b]Then neither do yours. Want an opinion? Give him one[/b].
2. Shut up, dumbass. [b]Come on now....telling a dumbass to shut up...[/b]
3. Just shut up. No one likes you so why stay? [b]Good question. Maybe he wants to prove he's not going to be forced under by others[/b].
------ is going to cool off, so I'm sure she'll be more cooperative, but ------ and the other members need to learn that this is a huge forum and like a city or town, EVERYONE here has the right to an opinion and you have the right to counter it, but maturity would be nice here. So remember something for the nice mods and administrator who allow you to use this place for free.
1. [b]If you have an opinion, then others will and their's won't be your's, so deal with it.[/b]
2. [b]If other members are acting up, contact a mod by using the report button.[/b]
3. [b]These forums aren't your right, they're your privilage. If you mistake them for your own little place to own, you very well may end up being evicted.[/b]
4. [b]It's not the end of a world if a flat out dumbass comes here.[/b]
5. [b]Maturity gives you respect and only when you're mature do you recieve it.[/b]

------ and ------ weren't the only ones, but to be honest, because they're the examples I used, I'm sorry, but think for a second and wonder how people would treat you if you were in -----'s position. You wouldn't like it. Please try to be more mature here. It's not that much to ask, is it?

You're right, i shouldnt' have been acting quite so bitchy with Ruppy.

It's just his annoying pity-whoring and suchlike lately, not to mention the increase in newbies, has really been pissing me off. I shouldn't have been quite so mean.

He's only getting like that because people pushed it. It's the deal with a LOT of pity whores. In the end no one cares. No one wins.

Another reason is the complete and utter anominitity the web gives us, so must of us think they can get away with saying what they want without fear of recrimination outside the internet. STUPID HEAD! Razz

I used names because I don't care who you are. If both have reformed, as said, I think they shouldn't much give a damn, and if they do, oh well. Look, point being for the names is that I didn't feel like going around and having millions of members asking "WHO SAID THAT?!". Well, now you know and they know too. They aren't gonna revolt right now. Everyone already knew, but some arrogant people are gonna beg to know who.
If I get tired of these posts, yeah, I just might edit the names out. It's NOT THE POINT, though.
In fact, since you both seem to know how this is going down, I'll edit them out now, so if anyone does ask, you can act all superior.

[quote]Zinova and Silver weren't the only ones,[/quote]

just incase that was including me, I'm not just mad at ruppy for that ridiculous thread, he's gotten on my personal nerves before. All he has to do is say "sorry" then we'll all probebly forgive him (but I've never seen anyone on FAC do that)

It's a matter of respect more than anything . . . .

I tend to be immature a lot but I don't insult people all the time....(just because i'm a wimp...and i don't really voice my opinion a lot) and Flea, very good points and I agree but I doubt the bashing of the noobs and annoying people will ever stop on this forum. :wacko:

true...but some people may not have the maturity to ignore the annoying ones
