was on a different forum and had a personal issue going on. so while doing a bit of online research, i get on a forum ive lurked around kinda posted in for a few years asking for a bit of advice. Considering that i wanted more accurate and sensible information i asked that anyone younger than me not post because i did not feel like listening to some inane babble that most of the people younger than me on that forum conjure up.
WELLY WELL WELL THEN. i mentioned "sorry for being rude, but if you are younger than me (18) i really would prefer you not post" and said i wanted to keep out some of that kid babble.
i was then called a bigot, stereotyper, told i was egotistical, ahhh a good bit of other names i shant repeat. about three people replied that were very sweet and did help me out a bit- one happened to be 17:
she started "i know im a year younger, but i felt i should post" etc.
all i could respond were my remarks/thanks/etc to the people that helped me out and sass the 'kids' that were 'offended' via: shows how mature you are to flame someone who's going through something like this because youre 'offended' and not just respect my wishes.
really, is it so gawdawful to want older, and more mature people to help you out with some questions and keep 90% of the blithering 15/16 year old girls from "well dis iz wat i do" kind of thing?
Some people really do need to shut up and keep their loose change to themselves. just because its the internet doesnt mean your entitled to rampage all over threads in some sort of justice rage.
ugh. sorry, im just so cross about it and very flabberghasted that some people can look at the situation i was in and then treat my request for more mature advice as a personal attack on themselves. SO RUDE GOSH.
anyways.. anyone ever go balistic on you in a thread that trancends all reason? ive seen some crazy stuff around the internet, but nothing that personally came at me like that.![]()
