An Observation

[The Ruiner]

I know that I can be a dick, but at least I have been sincere and honest.

I don't know if its just me, but I am under the impression that too many here are just here to get their jollies off by fucking with other people.

I can be totally disagreeable, snide, rude, condescending...whatever, but one thing I have never done on here is to intentionally try and fuck with someone... I see people on here asking for serious advice and I see that most of the responses are just full of bullshit and not helpful in anyway. I'm not talking about growing, I am talking more about the real-life sharing some do here.

I am left with the notion that far too many of you are afraid to actually be seen as sensitive or sincere and would rather try and impress people with your sarcasm and wit than to really try and help. Basically, I feel like most of you here are incapable of showing humility in the public eye. I also feel like some here use this as an escape to become someone else, to be the tough guy with a silver tongue.

Maybe I am missing something here...I dont know. This is just an observation, a personal assessment, and I welcome those that feel similarly and differently to reply. Maybe some will even come out swingin with some jabs my way...It doesnt really matter...I just want to see how some of you around here feel about this.

I couldnt agree more,your post reflects many of the reasons i do not spend time on this site any longer,my business has blossomed to a point where my free time is far & few but i'd still like to spend time here not figting, or dodging dick heads.

The sad truth being it is what it is,there are allways assholes who get their jollies from slamming others because they have nothing substantial to offer the group so they lash out to be seen.

There is a wealth of grow knowledge here if you can wade through all the bs.

 

[DaBong]

Every forum has assholes that want to be difficult and don't try to help anyone or anything. I have learned ALOT from this forum as far as growing MJ so I guess you gotta take the good with the bad.

 

[PeachOibleBoiblePeach#1]

If I seem like an asshole,,,I can be,,,But i'm not a good typer so some may take things wrong? Ya know, Just don't let it get to you,,,Some people come spread shit and are never to be heard from again,,,That's the good thing

Yea just attacking ppl for the fun of it, you cocksucking asshole, for some reason. I think its ok to, fucking dick licker, have fun in this forum and joke and, you twat face boil on a baboons ass, do silly things. Its when ppl are asking real life questions and get slammed is what bothers me. Seems like its, you moutherlesss cock sucking bastard, its getting worse all the time.

IM very sorry about the post I have TURRETS.

 

[The Ruiner]

Pan...exactly, its good to hear that you are prospering.

Dabong...I know there is a lot of knowledge here, I was referring more to the people that come here with real life problems.

Peach...I think that many people here have proxy accounts that they use for bashing, I think we hear a lot from the same people just under different screen names.

yes its true people do that. You have been very kind and humble in your posts and I don't think people intentionally try to be that internet toughguy (although i agree it does happen). I think people get passionate when they type on the internet and respond to something and that can get misconstrued. Also you have to remember that marijuana dealers usually have to give off a "i'm a dangerous always on top of shit kinda guy" attitude to survive the real world of cops and criminals, and they are going to be on a site like this in higher numbers then say a disney site because of the way the laws are setup. I am a person who just grows and smokes his own stash for med reasons (though I must admit I do enjoy it! best medicine i ever had to take!) so I don't have a reason to try to brag or look better than anybody, although I do sometimes get passionate about topics and rant to prove a point.

I live by Treat others how you want to be treated. but I also beleive in Treat others how they would treat you if the roles were reversed.

well now I know why no one talks to me on those disney forums

+rep for enlightening me (or I will tmrw because I've given too much out today)

 

[guitarisgr8]

Ive got nothing but good advice from this forum and Ive had many a good laugh over a spilff reading all the bullshit some of the dickheads post, but I have personally posted very little on this forum (just read LOTS) especially in comparison to yourself so I have not pesonally felt the wrath and hate that theese dickheads dish out but if I did Im am fairly confident I would see it for what it is.. Little boys spending their time typing insults and using very bad spelling when they should be.. smoking some great weed, growing some great weed, talking about great weed... If they are talking shit and hating on people then they are more than likely NOT smoking great weed, their just haters.. Damn Id be jealous and a hater too if I didnt have my jars full of tasty nugs, coming on here and seeing all the great pics of every strain under the sun.

I could care less about the language as long as the meanings are sincere...thank you. I totally agree with you.

I stay on RIU 4 to 5 hours a day most of the time the rest of the time I watch my girls. I do not post much because some asshole wants to make you feel like you have no business trying to grow pot. I am a very challaged on a computor and not the brightest bulb in the grow box but I sure don't need some shit head being a asshole toward me every time I mispell words. So till I have some thing else to say I'll be watching and trying to learn. Thanks to all that really try to help us noobs.

See, that sucks. It sucks that you cant just be yourself without someone else trying to make you feel bad for it...

 

[Sr. Verde]

Its a good observation and true to nature of the internet. You can't see peoples face, or fists, and you don't have to deal with them yet you can still gain attention or pride..

I stay true to myself, as other cool users do. Its a waste of time for me to be anyone but myself... the people who try to be someone else? Well they have problems with themselves and their self image

People are people

 

[randy leopard]

i didnt even post on this site till i had read for hours and hours and days on end.
i came here to LEARN, and learn i did. but yea, there are a lot of people on here that get off on trying to make others feel dumb.
its just not cool. if i had to bet, id say that those types of people are the exact opposite in real life

 

[THCBD]

people who fuck with people on the internet wish they had the balls to do it in real life. unfortunately it does keep people from getting legitimate grow help...

 

[Bonzi Lighthouse]

It's the nature of the interweb. Trolls are inherent on any board and RIU is no different. Rule number 1, don't feed the Trolls, rule number 2, Double Tap. @newatilt keep trying and don't let them get to you, ignore, ignore, ignore.

 

[racerboy71]

i too agree with what a lot of what has already been said here.. and once again, i agree with sr verde.. i can't understand how people can go to a website, and be anything but what they are in real life.. but i guess some people are soo disatified with their real life and egos, that they feel the need to come to forums such as riu and create and online perona that is much different than real life..
some people may be super timid in their daily lifes, or get pissed on by every person they come across, and once they escape behind their keyboards, they feel that they can say and do pretty much whatever it is they want, with no real repercussions.. i think that is a big part of it honestly... some people know that that can say something to just piss people off, and that no one is really going to ever be able to touch them.. no worries of getting jumped on your way to the car, no worries about getting fired from a job for being a dick to a coworker, etc..
i just don't get it though.. i try to be the person i am all of the time, here and wherever i go, online or not..

plus rep for good post

 

[SkidMark]

I read a lot more than I post. Anytime I post, I set myself up for an attack.

 

[klassifyme]

So here's my two cents, im here to learn and help if possible, but also im hude dick, if someone says something im probably not going to let it go, then i look like an even bigger dick, ahhh fuckit
