Are people here too rude?

[Mister Agenda]

I am a real person, and this is how I talk and write irl.
See, this is why I think it's a cultural, class, upbringing divide.  And my dialect rubs people up the wrong way and they start projecting things onto my words.
But they're not going to change, are they?
So I have to be the one to change, I guess.

Why?

[Mister Agenda]

No one said you have to change.  You either interact here with the different personalities or you don't.  That's your call.

Start a big long ignore list if that makes you feel better.

If an echo chamber is what you are looking for, this probably isn't it.

Again, it's odd to me that you equate a desire for mutual civility and politeness as an echo chamber

As a mod, can you please ban my account here.  That will remove the temptation for me to continue posting.

Oh fuck you. I liked you fine until you started this bitchy, moany, woe-is-me I'm so persecuted thread.

^You haven’t seen rude until you’ve been on the Shankhill Road after dark during parade season.

How many hookers per meter there?

8-12, depending on the season (NI hookers are stackable).

Well, that's a side of you I have never seen before...I like it.

I'm not rude to people until they truly piss me off, then I stop pretending to be civil.

I'm often direct, which some people read as "rude".

[arewethereyet]

I don't have time to sugarcoat things for the super-sensitive.

I was a CPO, not a breed known for molly-coddling.

I am assuming that the frustrated one is gone, and most likely won't read this. But, here is my two cents anyway.

This is an online forum, you don't really have to give a single flying fuck what anyone thinks. That being said, there are all different types of hoomans, and each one has their own customized posting style. And sure sometimes, meaning is lost in translation. I can deal with the unpolished, the gruff, rough around the edges, the blunt portrayals of individuality rendered through the written word. What I do not appreciate is the stupids or dishonesty.

You do not appear to be either. Now sure, you and I disagree on a few subjects, but just because you are wrong, doesn't mean I think any less of you.

Is it wrong to wonder what happens when they truly piss you on?

Hard pass.
