Never let a debate anger you. Keep your emotions out and your facts in. Don't hate the user, hate the argument. Think differently not of the person sharing the information, but of the information. Then you can continue debating and know its nothing personal, only doing what is best for all, by negotiating the truth

the thing about times1138 is that he is incapable of this and insult people every chance he gets. So i think its perfectly okay to hate him

I can no longer fucking contain it.

I will not be called some heartless monster because I don't support some twisted god damned opinion!

God damned be me and my wroth!

If cartoon was reality, I should be foaming at the mouth!

I do like to be dramatic, as it gives some fun and enjoyment for my posts and a kind of uniqueness to them, but damn people on this site sometimes infuriate me.

Look Asura and Phoenix.

I really don't want to hate you, because I do tend to have some role-play friends, very intelligent friends, whom support Palestine rabidly. So I am just going to drop this issue I am continuing for the sake for the forum's peace, because the last thing I want is some dividing flame war because of shitposting and other things.

I rarely talk to you so I don't believe any argument in that thread, however impassioned will disturb the forums peace.

For example, I dislike Jolly Jew….to put it mildly. Yet both me and him managed to coexist in the Pony Thread for quite some time.

Unless these RP friends are on this forum, I bid you to continue.

If you'll agree to that request, I think both of us can turn down the rhetoric and have a calmer, more civilized debate.

Also, please understand I did not call you a Heartless monster, though I do admit my posts were incredibly condescending and rude and I apologize. Like you, I do get infuriated during debates quite easily.

Please excuse the town of my latest post. I did not read your message here before I posted it. Going forward, I will calm down and act more respectful.

Mods take themselves too seriously.

Instead of acting for the greater good or what's best for users, they act strictly for the sake of rules. If everyone finds a user funny for shitposting, I don't understand why mods take it upon themselves to ban that user for shitposting.

Instead of an internet forum, the mods get this bizarre idea that this is their job, and they take it deeply serious, as if going against the rules (even for the sake of users) would be a fatal mistake.

Rules should not be followed as law. They should be followed as guidelines.

Your view is one of my biggest peeves on this site. (No offence intended) People seem to forget, this isn't a social media site or forum. (Well, it is in a way, but that's beyond the point.) It's an encyclopedia of popular online trends jokes and events. It's like wikipedia, but for memes. So of course, in order to keep the website clean and correct, some mods use stricer methods. which is 100% okay.

I fell asleep in a foul mood, so I should apologize myself. I tend to be not the world's most patient person and it's a family thing that me, my father, and my grandfather tend to be wrathful.

My friend is probably less passionate about the conflicts over seas, but I told myself I shouldn't be in these forums for political reasons, and I won't be continuing the debate, due to how passionate I am and for the sake of my own time, I prefer to spend with other devices. I might make a final post, but I really don't want to be pulled into a major debate, especially on a forum which catalogs memes.

but I really don’t want to be pulled into a major debate, especially on a forum which catalogs memes.

Are you somehow implying that memes aren't srs bizness?!

SIR WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

I hate the self entitlement some people have on this site.
News flash if it aint against the rules no amount of bitching will change it. Whats even worse is when people want to change to rules to suit their needs, what they fail to realize is that they aren't the only ones who use this site.

For example some people hate the amount of nsfw images that are uploaded to the site. And that's okay but to say that because you dislike it no one should be allowed to do it is just asinine.

And then there are the enormous egos of some of the users who believe without a doubt that they are what this site needs to function. Like without them the site would fail and turn into a shithole. I can't stand such people.

If anyone has any problems with me, I'd really like to know so I can improve upon myself (of course they have to be reasonable). I want this thread to work as intended and resolves the issues without peers.

This is for all users, not just those who post here in the forums, right? I have posted in these very little in the past, so I'm more nervous saying this here than I do elsewhere.
If so, I would like to know if anyone has problems with me, I would like it to know what those problems are, so I can work toward fixing them.
As for any problems I have with others, I do believe that there are those who think a little too much of themselves, but I still like them. Really, I like everyone here, that's why I am here.

I think you're pretty cool. Entertaining to chat with.

I believe that people should be able to do it, but only to a certain extent. For example, I don't think heavy amounts of R34 images really contribute at all. It's Know Your Meme, not a porn site. NSFW images may not be against the rules, but enough of it in a gallery that doesn't really have much to do with it can constitute as a form of flooding or clutter. For example, I don't think 10 images of yuri Korra porn really contributes anything to the Avatar/Korra gallery other than clutter it.

That's my professional reason for disliking it, but I also have a personal aversion to it since in my eyes R34 art of relatively clean things taints them and the source material, at least in my eyes. However, I don't think everyone should just stop making it/uploading it just because I don't like it that would be ridiculous. I'm only against mass-porn uploading.


On the ego thing, I agree with you 100%. I've seen plenty of these people. They're not very pleasant, even though a few of them actually do somewhat contribute to the site, but not as much as they believe they do.
