yeah, just these days if you can anything people get all offended, its the internet. chill out. learn to joke around
I think you probably meant "say" instead of "can". So I'll reply with that in mind.
I disagree with you though.
The behavior on the internet often is ridiculous and rude. The common excuse is, "It's just the internet."
Think about that for a minute. It's as though you're saying that there's an excuse to be a jackass, that there's an excuse to be an impolite person.
It's one thing if you have a previously established positive relationship with the person joking around. That's perfectly fine.
If that person has always been rude to you, why should it be any different than if the interactions were taking place in person? If there were a person who was always a d**k to me in person, why would I suddenly be chummy with that person if
they decided this one time were a harmless joke? All the other times I was just used as the butt of the joke because it was deemed acceptable for an arbitrary reason such as, "We're allowed to be assholes. We're at Disneyland."
I agree and It's honestly all in the past.
But I do strongly believe you should be along side Anfrey in the CC Hall Of Fame for all the technical things you've contributed to the site as well. A lot of people take that for granted and I hope they do not over look to mention you when they look to add the next person.
It's all in the past for you. I'm glad you've decided that some of the behavior you saw in the past was unacceptable though.
For me, it taught me to be more wary of people I meet online. It taught me that most of the people I meet online are jerks and that I shouldn't trust them and should be careful about anything they might know about me. There might be a few that shine through, but better safe than sorry.
It was funny to see many of those people flip flop back and forth between wanting to hate me and harass me versus wanting to be best friends, joking around.
The CC Hall of Fame doesn't matter to me. I mean, sure, I guess it'd be a nice gesture, but I'm not worried about it, nor would I hold my breath. Thank you though.
