Thread battles with other members = dislike in general?

sassafras · May 10, 2012

I don't generally dislike people because of threads or arguments. I may not like someone's behavior in a certain thread or may not like their opinions, but that generally doesn't translate to dislike of the person. Arguments on an internet forum just isn't usually enough information to base an opinion about a person on.

A pattern of behavior over a long period of time, maybe. And I'm sure there are "dealbreakers" so to speak, although I can't think of any at the moment. And I suppose if I just don't plain agree with someone on almost anything I wouldn't want to be their BFF or anything, but it doesn't mean I harbor any ill will, either.

In a nutshell... No. Heck, when I get into it here its almost always about politics or religion. LOL When is there ever a "nice" discussion about those topics? LOL

I just try, really, really hard.... To make my point of not offending anyone, but yet not cave on my point of view. At this point in my life, my ideas are pretty well developed and based in a lot of real world experience. That does not make me right, just a bit more experienced than a lot here.

Its difficult sometimes and certain people just want to try and drag it down to a soap opera or worse.... (I think we all know who.....LOL)

Fran... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the juvenile crap about your Obama stuff. I disagree with you as much as possible about who the guy is, what he stands for and what he represents. But that does not mean I should be a jackass about it. Also, I get the "crazy uncle" comparison... But with 2 caveats... I would not be shooting at the roof all crazy. Its dangerous and a waste of ammo. LOL

AND... You know what they say. You can't teach an OLD dog new tricks

Hahaha. Sorry babe... Had to. You understand

This. There are small handful of members that I've found to be hurtful or difficult intentionally, and I can't always walk away feeling good about it. It is rarely the big argument threads, interestingly. It is the small aside comments that could seem so harmless, but clearly aren't. As for those who I disagree with on the big fundamental issues? No problem. It rarely gets me riled up, and I certainly don't hold ones beliefs against them.

One word: MOOSH.

Not that he doesn't stand by his principles, though. He is honest.

~Tucker&Me~ · May 10, 2012

For the most part, I think I am able to walk away from a debate thread and not have any hard feelings. I know there are a few people I have bickered with but I don't dislike them, we just disagree.

Having said that, there are a few people I don't really care for. I don't like when drama spills follows people into unrelated threads, and I have noticed it tends to be the same people who rub me the wrong way in some of their responses to new members who are obviously kind of naive. If there is one thing I really can't stand, it is the elitist, condescending and sharp attitude some people have no qualms giving to brand new, clueless members who join the forum looking for advice. I also dislike personal jabs, and again, it always seems to be the same people.

Anyway, the vast majority of chazzers I take no issue with, and even the ones I do, it normally isn't a problem.

Just the fact that we haven't banned the lot of you speaks volumes about your ability to "not hold grudges" and to move on. :rofl1:

I honestly just really like to debate in general, especially when it comes to dog things. I can't think of any current members that I actively dislike at all.

In real life I am the most quiet person so I'm definitely more aggressive on here at times. Sometimes it's nice to be able to speak my mind, sometimes I go back and re-read my thread and think I sound like a jerk. I really don't mean to sound like a jerk, I think I can just have an abrupt method of typing. :/

Anyways, definitely don't dislike anyone even if I come across poorly. I don't mean to.

Dakotah · May 10, 2012

I don't hate anyone on here, I have a problem with a couple but nothing that I can't control and get over. I might disagree with a lot of people on here but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

Somehow, someway every person on this forum has made me smile, laugh, and made me feel so warm inside.
Fran and I have butt heads before, but her funny posts with gifs make my day, every single time. <3

Yall are my Chaz family no matter if you hate me or if I don't agree with you. Yall have all been there for me, and others, when the time came. And that just makes all the BS and disagrees worth it.

Ok, I'm done being mushy lol

This. :hail:

Awhile back I just reached a point where opinions of people on the internet are just... meh. I don't put emotional investment into people on the internet anymore, it's just not worth it. I've seen the best and the worst of people on this forum, unfortunately more of the "worst" than the best.

... which used to frustrate/upset me, but now I just move on and don't allow myself to be provoked by the drama.

On the Gay Marriage thread, I had clicked several multi-quote boxes, thought about it, and then just said "Meh, nothing I say will be earth shattering" and walked a dog.

Paige · May 10, 2012

I've never taken a disagreement to = HATE YOUR GUTS. I am not to really over argue with someone. I may say a few points but I generally just read.

Bunny82 · May 10, 2012

I don't hate anyone. I try and avoid debates, (not always a success) because I am always worried that no matter how careful I think my wording is something I say is going to hurt or offend someone so if I can help it I don't speak much on issues. I read a lot of threads I start to respond then I stop and delete..I don't want to say the wrong thing. I know I don't post much but I do care and would rather be that dork that only pops in from time to time to post periodically than get into a debate
and risk hurting someone's feelings.

Dekka · May 10, 2012

Really there are very few people I dislike on chaz. IME I have to really know someone and have a very good reason to dislike them lol. That usually means they have had to do something really horrible and I can only think of one chazzer that fits that bill.. so the vast majority of you are safe

(I am sure you all will now sleep better knowing that :rofl1

There are a few people that I don't like, but that is different than dislike. More of an ambivalence towards them. Dislike is personal, takes energy. Not going to 'waste' energy keeping a grudge on the internet. Generally just ignore and move on. Half the time in a debate thread I dont' even pay attention to who I am responding too. At least on chaz I do notice some of the time. On other forums there are too many people to get to know so I just respond never paying attention to the poster's history.

I love a good debate. I hope you all know that I don't dislike anyone really (and no one in this thread) and just like to argue

JessLough · May 10, 2012

I don't hate anybody. Except for Sizzle, SaraB, and PWCorgi. They're all Clique-y and gross.

or maybe I got that backwards. Who knows.

Gross? Yes.

Clique-y? Well only if you mean the dog training tool.

DogKisses · May 11, 2012

I try to start away from debate threads, I mostly avoid "conflict."

I know after my posts in the merle thread some of you have probably wrote me off as an @sshole, but A LOT of things went on behind the scenes. I noticed a ton of red flags. Yes I could have PMed the info to the person that asked, but I was hoping someone on here could clear it up - I know several people on here are interested in the breed.

That said, I don't hate anyone on here. A couple people rub me the wrong way sometimes - but it's nothing major and I realize it could just be a lost in translation (internet vs. real life) thing.

I love my crazy dog people!

JessLough · May 11, 2012

Oh to actually answer the questions, I don't think a disagreement makes me hate somebody. Usually I can tell off the bat if they're assholes and just stay away from them, anyway
