NTC Fan Editorial: Conduct on the Forums

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan · 10-13-2002, 03:06 PM

I would just like to address something that has both saddened me and angered me beyond belief. I'm not going to pussy-foot around here; I'm going to cut straight to the chase.

PWDESAI, or wheeljack, or Paul, or whatever the hell your name is . . . what is your problem? Every time there is trouble brewing around here, you seem to be at the center of it.

You've already been kicked off these forums once since I joined two months ago. And you've been complaining that you got kicked out somewhere else for "talking too much." And now I come to the forums today to read up on some great Turtle talk, and I see your "intellectual and thought-provoking comments" splattered all over the place.

There is no room on these boards for your third-grade antics. We don't need this (pardon MY French) ********. You want to act like a jerk, then that's fine. Go be one in some other forum. We don't need little pencil-necks like you coming in here and attacking other people by calling them homophobic, or saying such retarded things like, "How about this up your ass?"

Not everyone appreciates that, pal, and you'd best come to realize it now before someone gives you a good hard reality check. I know this America, and you've got freedom of speech, and blah blah blah. But we don't need your crap here. It stinks.

Many members of this forum are 20 years of age and over; you, my friend, are 14 or 15, if I remember correctly. Believe me, sonny, you DO NOT WANT TO INCUR OUR WRATH. It's not so hard to show a little respect on the forums. Everyone has disagreements; if everyone agreed on everything, the world would be a pretty boring place. I have always loved a good debate.

But when you get into an argument with someone, you make it personal. You act like a jerk. Maybe it's because that idiot 14-year old brain of yours hasn't yet realized the concept of acting nicely and treating others with respect. It's all too easy to bash someone when they can't reach through the computer screen and strangle you after you call that person homophobic.

This is the first forum I ever became a member of because I respected the dignity and the class that people use here. Any other forum I've visited has disgusted me because all it consists of is profane language and people attacking each other. There are no friends in other boards. There is no camaraderie. One person gives their opinion, and about 47 other losers jump all over him and call him an idiot.

Do you see that here? Hell, no, you don't see that here. That's because people here are nice. We have different opinions on what we like and what we don't like, but you don't ever see someone calling someone else stupid for liking the cartoon over the comic. This is a friendly forum, and I genuinely like corresponding with the people on here.

But you've finally irked me, buddy. First was that thorny comment in another post about action figures and the cartoon. Your exact comment was, "like i said the toy was made first what don't u understand?" Yes, I understood what you said; I was merely striking up conversation with another member of this forum. But what did you do? You jumped all over me.

A 14-year old getting on a soon-to-be 21-year old's back. I don't give piggy-back rides, pal. Get the hell off.

And you don't just do that to me. You do it to others, as well.

We're not your parents. We shouldn't have to be. We shouldn't have to be policemen around here and tell you to shape up or ship out. What you say and how you act are threatening the good vibe we have on this board. What if some visitor was to have read the things you have posted and decided not to become a member? I know things like that happen because I don't join forums where people act like pricks.

And this message goes for everyone, including myself. We don't need that sort of garbage on this forum. I've been on here for two months, and I have enjoyed every minute of it until now. We don't need people on here attacking each other and tearing each other down. We don't need the (pardon MY French again) ****ing dirty language around here.

Get my point? If not, I'd love to "point" it out to you.

*Gulps*...well, guess it's high time I started dropping the 'tude too...

I will admit, however, that at least I can live in comfort on here knowing that I'm not surrounded by a bunch of computer geeks who dub me as a retard just because I don't know C++ (I actually do know some of it now

) or I haven't made a phenominal contribution the community. It's nice to know I got some good praise from Krang just for sending in three simple sound clips

Speaking of which, I have more on the way soon...

~~Reznorite420~~ · 10-13-2002, 08:56 PM

Just thought I'd throw this in as well. While you might not be far off in assuming he's a 14-year-old, I'll say this much: even I was typing and acting better than he was at that age. So yeah, I still agree with you, NTCF.

**azure turtle** · 10-13-2002, 09:20 PM

Okay, everyone needs to calm down... Settling disputes is going to be a lot harder if everyone is angry. I'm feeling terribly ill at the moment, and having the forums on the verge of a flame war isn't going to make me feel any better. Now, unlike a few other topics I stumbled across, I'm going to leave this one open so that everyone can settle their problems in a civilized manner. I haven't been on the forums in the past few days, so I don't know who's arguing with who (though I think I know what's going on), but let's try to settle this and move on, all right?

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan · 10-13-2002, 09:30 PM

As far as this whole thing is concerned . . .

I said my piece. I got out what I needed to get out. I stand behind everything I said, and I don't apologize for any of the things I wrote. There isn't anything to apologize for when you tell things in an honest way.

I love coming here, people. I love swapping Turtle stories with you. Don't turn me away with this nonsense. Don't turn other members away with this crap.

And don't turn away potential members.

I don't have a problem with PWDESAI, personally. I just have a problem with his attitude and conduct at times. There is no reason he should be doing the things he's doing around here.

**azure turtle** · 10-13-2002, 09:54 PM

I agree, NTCF. I came to these forums because it's got a certain chemistry which is rarely found in other forums. Everyone respects everyone, and it's been that way for as long as I can remember. However, it's up to Krang to decide on consequences...

**Krang** · 10-14-2002, 02:33 AM

Paul, do you happen to remember reading this post? I've told you before to stop making off-topic threads in GTMNTD, and you haven't stopped. I've told you before to stop flaming other forum members, and, again, you haven't stopped. I'm giving both of your names a warning. If you can learn to behave yourself like almost everyone else, I'll take it away.

**Nturtle** · 10-14-2002, 08:13 AM

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
I don't know what on earth you could be arguing about but flame wars and anger won't help
btw hope ya' feel better soon Azure
