Internet Rage

[AllanahStarrNYC]

When I was a kid I remember watching that old Goofy cartoon, the one when he got behnd the wheel he turned into a monster, but when he was out of the car he was ok. We al know of people who have road rage-
but its seems to me that on boards something like "internet rage " has developed.

People just going on and insulting or antogonizing for the sake of it-even when in an argument they take the lowest base of insults. I myslef have had a few "fights" on here and have been guilty of saying a mean thing or two to certain persons- but never just to be offensive or personally attack.

With revent posts by stickpussy, mixedpretty boy, and geek meet, and others we know well-they go off on these tyrades then some go back and apologize for it.

Some of them have admitted that it's because they have issues with themselves, transsexuals, or whatever. But I personally think that for most people who randomly do these type of posts, it somehow gives them power. Maybe they don't feel too good about themselves, or they are angry, issues etc..So they site behind a pc screen and say things and insult people that they would not have the nerve to do in person.
It gives them the upper hand in their mind to say- "Im better than you" in so many words and satisfies those feelings of inadequacy that they might have.

I wonder is this is spawning all this "Internet Rage"....

I think you've identified and nicely labeled that phenomenon, Allanah. I know I am occasionally guilty myself. Fortunately, physical altercations rarely arise online (though virtual fights break out often), but unfortunately damage can be done anyway, to one's reputation for instance.

[thanos]

Internet Rage is an equal opportunity afflication that strikes both guys and TS's. I like to call it "the binary bi-polar".

One of the more telling signs of this tragic condition can be seen when reading a post or email. Suddenly (and often without warning) what was once an even toned and rational post morphs into a "fucking curse filled motherfucking suck my dick you stupid bitch" fest followed by ATTACK OF THE CAPS LOCK AND TOO MANY EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!


(This is not a dig at Mega, btw).

Great thread… In my view, just about everyone can be guilty of a bad post at some time or other. Sometimes it’s just a single bad day that results in a slightly off color comment. Other times it’s a real question that is taken the wrong way. At times, people try to be funny, but sarcasm doesn’t necessarily come through all that well in a written format.

That said, there is definitely a very small minority – you count these men and at least one TG on a single hand – that appear to thrive on continual conflict or attempts to insight conflict, etc. I would agree with the assessment that such behavior is generally born out of a sense of powerlessness, anger, and a loathing of one’s self.

The internet seems to be like driving for some people. The physical distance allows certain individuals to find the fleeting courage to express themselves in a way they never would if they were standing within reach. Though I have on occasion allowed myself to engage such individuals, I usually just laugh at them. Still, I have a dark sense of humor; others may not be so inclined to see the comedy in such posts.

I think everyone knows just what's being discussed (at least partially) in this thread. There is only one decent solution, and that is "someone" owes Allanah a Big Apology.

Now don't mind me, but I'm going to go hide behind some curtains with a kazoo and a seltzer bottle. Someone give me the signal when they shake hands. . .

But seriously, the Goofy cartoon is a good illustration. Goofy's a good guy, helpful, nice to everyone nearly all of the time. Occasionally he becomes a rampaging monster, but it's pretty much just for comedic effect. And it's probably not good for the people on the road with him, but it's damn funny to watch from a distance. "Hey bub! Out of my way! Buy a horse, Pall!"

The other form of net rage, the screaming and venomous insulting, is pretty much just unavoidable sometimes. Frustration, alcohol, I'm sure drugs in some cases, make people do wacky things sometimes. I'm not sure what can be done about that other then trying to figure out what's bothering the person.

Now I'm going to go sit in the park for awhile and yell at squirrels. That damn Attorney General has really been pissing me off lately. . .

:x

[AllanahStarrNYC]

Actually honda, im not fishing for an apology. Because an internet insult has the same effect as an internet apology-zilch.

If I was insulted by a friend, or someone I cared about- th en yes I owuld be hurt. I do actually have friends on this board and people I respect, Seanchai, NYCe, etc. But I have really learned living as a transsexual and in the adult business /entertainment business that you can not take alot of things personal.

Of ocurse I am only human and sometimes it does affect me. But I just think curious how some people are just so angry, or post angry things, or insult, or are ontentionally mean- when in person they would probably be sweet as pie. Maybe its MPD - lol jk

I really think its issues-

There is a different like someone like myself, escstatic, etc- who has a contant flow of the same type of posts-may have a little tiff from time to time, , and some on who nice errupts all the time, or always talks shit, or makes it a point to pick apart someone.

[Quinn]

Now I'm going to go sit in the park for awhile and yell at squirrels.

Not to distract from the topic at hand, but that one killed me. I am currently working out of my vacation property in PA. When not on my laptop, which is where I work from, I have been attempting to paint my back deck. For three days I have painted my deck only to have the same fucking squirrel go running back and forth across it as soon as I finish.

I don't get it!! What could possibly be so interesting to him that he has to keep fucking with my paint job??? I've never seen this behavior before and am, frankly, at a loss as to how to fix his fur covered ass. I am sick of it here already and want to return to NYC, but I can not thanks to my obviously superior adversary. You may be thinking that I should just deal with the squirrel prints all over my deck, but I just can't seem to do it. FUUUCCCKKK!!!!

-Quinn

[hondarobot]

It's probably not just one squirrel, but a whole gang of them, Quinn. Each has to take it's turn in the The Running Of The Deck, an initiation into the Paint Foot Clan.

You may be stuck there awhile.

:)

[Quinn]

It's probably not just one squirrel, but a whole gang of them,


Though I have only seen one, there may very well be more. Usually, I am a huge fan of nature. Today, not so much. Either way, it's now raining. It's a little like the Alamo – and I'm not Santa Anna. Where in the hell is my white flag?

-Quinn

[Vicki Richter]

I can see where this is going and I would like to thank Allanah for her well meant apology to me. It was totally not necessary, but it was a nice token gesture just the same. However, it is a bit vindicating and completely justifiable.

I feel so warm inside now.

[mixedprettyboy]

I haven't personally attacked anyone in the last few months, nor have I called trannies men or tranny chasers fags because they like dick.

However, if someone attacks me, I'll definitely retaliate. But I've noticed some enjoy instigating others.

LOL - a little tiff - such a nice way to put it, Allanah! Must be PMS: Posting Mindlessly Syndrome. :)

Quinn, maybe you need to consult with Bill Murray, I understand he has experience with little furry critters who never quit driving a human crazy.

Dude you attacked wendy on another thread, the internet tough guy image is laughable!

[mixedprettyboy]

Dude you attacked wendy on another thread!

Only because she attacked me first.

I'm no longer discussing this.

[hondarobot]

Hmmm, Vicki accepted the apology this time. I guess I better jump out from behind the curtain, blow the kazoo, and spray her in the face.

That actually sounds pretty fun. In the event that my aim is bad, I've also got the seltzer bottle to use as an emergency eye wash station.

:wink:

[Felicia Katt]

Listen sweetheart.
If I wanted to be nasty or try to throw shade you would know it.....im NOT a subtle person.
Like when you went to L.A and took pictures with a certain "girl" who use to post here who calls herself a hungangel.
Remember that?
Well she pissed me off royally and I read that bitch AND posted a photo of her with YOU in it to show people what a beast she was!
THATS BEING NASTY.
You have never liked me from day one but that hasnt stopped me from complimenting you when I felt it was appropriate.
Sometimes you a overly sensitive about almost anything that I write but thats okay.......
For the last few months, I have stayed away because just staying above the fray wasn't enough. I turned the other cheek as much as I could, and then I turned in my wings. It wasn't worth it to me to be here anymore, not with all the nasty personal attacks.

My "royal insult" to Geekmeat was to jokingly respond to a post that said his idol Vanity didn't know who he was, by saying she had to know his name to fill out a restraining order. That was it. Considering all his actions, on this board, and on her Vanity group, including a chat transcript where Vanity herself asked if she should be worried about him, I didn't think it was beyond the pale. I mainly thought it was a funny quip. The poster who said Vanity didn't know him from Adam got an "aw Man, why you gotta say something like that" and I got 4 or 5 really ugly messages full of unrestrained personal insults. I didn't respond in kind. I didn't return fire. I didn't chalk up a Geekmeat body outline and claim self defense. I came here to traffic in ideas, not trade insults. Since that wasn't happening I just stopped posting. I didn't see the point anymore. I didn't make a dramatic announcment, or ask for anyone to be banned or for the posts to be deleted. I just left. This was all back in July, and now 3 months later, without my saying another word I find out the nastiness is still flowing? Amazing

I joined this board when some posters asked me to, because they thought what I had to say was worth saying and being heard. I didn't proclaim myself a "hot Hungangel", that was done without my asking by the moderators. I never promoted myself here., only the exchange of information and viewpoints in a civil fashion, which I tried to do with a little humor. Geekmeat can call me a beast if he likes, but I think you define a beast, not by looks, but by behavior. I will leave it to others to decide who was beastly here. As far as the pics go, I never claimed to be as good looking as Alannah or anyone else but I was pleased to meet her and proud to be photographed with her and happy to see her post those pics here.

I don't know why they would be reposted later as if they were somehow a source of shame to me. They aren't. Or why this would come up again after all this time. But then, I don't understand what was or is going on with Geekmeat. I don't think anyone, including him, really does. Maybe he became unhinged because the closet door is too tight. Whatever it is, it was never my intention to cause anyone, even Geekmeat, pain and I regret that what I said did. I hope all this hatred and controversy is finally put to bed. The old cliche is to let sleeping dogs lie. But I think here it works for Katts too

Felicia,

It is nice to see you posting again. Your humor and grace were missed by all.

-Quinn

[hondarobot]

Thank God you're back. This place wouldn't be the same without you, Felicia. Lets just hope everyone calms down, for real finally, and it stays a cool forum.

But what do I know? I haven't been here that long, really. I just try to be amusing if I can pull it off.

[JohnnyWalkerBlackLabel]

a few things................

When I had a rice car I had road rage, when I grew up and got a REAL car (lol) the road rage left, now it's insulting for me to even be bothered with someone wanting to race...................unless it's a Porsche

either way whether it's road rage or internet rage I gotta say this; no offense meant but if you take it this way fuck it
to me this is nothing more than "Little Dick Syndrome"

You have people on this forum that can hold a convo on anything posted, then you have people on here that can't comprehend a full logical paragraph submitted by another user so they feel the need to belittle them on the board. If it's out of fun, and it's meant as a joke, so be it, I'm all for fun on the board, keeps shit healthy, but if it's just meant to be cruel because you can't think of anything intelligent to say then you need to just sit back and shut the fuck up.

The little dick syndrome statement refers more to the guys who need to slam the TS'. Come on fellas you know it's penis envy, don't get mad because ladies like Allanah, Vicki, etc. are packing more than you; go spend that hard earned $$$ and go get one of those Austin Powers penis pumps (LOL)

Felicia,
Fuck'em. Don't take it personal unless you know them personally. Realize you are dealing with a universe of people in this forum (a sub-universe here). In any universe, any clown can get on a forum and post.
Geekmeat is a clown. Why does anyone respond to what he says. He's the village idiot, sitting on a wall in the town square shitting in his hand and hurling it at the first person to acknowledge he is there. He's a FUCKING MONKEY! Looking for some one to notice him.

I've defended his right to free speech up to now, but if he's keeping someone like you away.....FUCKING BAN HIM THANOS! It ain't worth the typing to support his right to free speech.

[thanos]

He was already banned. Posting on here is a privilege, not a right.

[Felicia Katt]

Thanks, everyone, for all the nice things you said

[hondarobot]

I've said it before, but it really is good to see you back.

This forum is pretty cool, and working towards keeping it that way is worth the effort.

It's a jedi thing.

My mom HATED that show cuz she thought it looked so dumb when dudes mouth morphed and widened to turn into the grill of the car... lol...
