If I think someone at this site is rude is it OK for me to say they are, or must I lie and say they are wonderful even though they ARE rude?

    It depends on whom they were rude to. If at you, report it as an attack and ignore them.

    Hsaaa.  Do it.

    Here's how.  >...

    PM your dear friend.  Just Asking.


    Tell her you broke all the TOS commandments at one time or another and she must have missed them.   Some of the violations might have been  in your head, if nothing else, and ask her for a just punishment. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at September 8, 2019 3:49 PM MDT

  • This person is generally rude to everyone and feels the need to insert their opinion and remarks into conversations that are not even theirs.  I am the recipient of it on too many occasion.


    I am finished biting my tongue about it.

    Then rather than write something that will get you a time out, just report the comments and let admin handle them.  They do a pretty quick job of it.

    I'll tell you something I thought when I read this.  That is, if you could stomach telling them they are wonderful, you probably would alter the course of the argument.  

    But, I am here to speak my mind, and that includes telling people exactly what I think.  Of course. I don't think we need to be HEARD and tell it like it is all the time, but this place is a unique platform.  We can be honest and open with one another and if I am rude to you at ANY time, you need to tell me exactly what makes you angry about it.

    That is how we learn.  That is how I  adapt to how people on here absorb my manner of speech in writing.  I have offended people without even meaning to because they misunderstood me.  I have DRAG OUT FIGHTS, with Rosie on a monthly basis practically because she always wants to take my meaning wrong so she can scream at me about something. LOLOOLOL

    I'm used to it.  We tell each other off all the time.  It's infuriating, but I learn from it.  

    So, you need to exercise your substantial writing skills and very good mind, and take a moment and think. Think how you can address the issue of telling the person off and do it without getting thrown off here.

    It is a good skill.  You will like insulting people even BETTER than you would if you called them a STUPID MORON.  Which is what they probably are.  LOL

  • Yeah well, there is a time and place for being verbose, and other times a good four letter word is in order.

    If you use that four letter word, unless it's L-O-V-E, the editing fairy will pay you a visit and if you get three visits in one month, you will get several demerits.

    A certain someone corners the market on that type of thing and is rarely held accountable for it.

    Ignore and report/send me a link. If you respond you will likely be moderated.

    “If you respond you will likely be moderated.“

    Wait, what?  Shouldn’t that be amended to state that if one violates the TOS when responding, they will be moderated?  Any response that stays within the rules should not automatically be moderated.

    The OP says "is rude is it OK for me to say they are...".

    Yes it is against the TOS to tell a user they are rude.  So IF they responded by telling that user they are rude....they would be moderated. 

    I was answering based on what the OP stated.

    That’s not what you wrote. Specifically stating in a response that someone is rude is not the same as responding in any other way. You said it was a violation to respond at all. They are NOT the same thing.

      I don’t know why you’re digging in your heels once you’ve been caught. I’m digging in my heels because you’re wrong. If you can’t admit it, fine. You keep digging and so will I.

      You’re not including ALL of what was written in the ENTIRE question. There is an either/or proposed that offers a CHOICE of how one MIGHT answer. When you state that a response will likely be moderated, you’re not taking into account the variety of possible responses, such as at does not accuse rudeness. 

      Gotcha!

    "Likely" moderated takes care of the slight possiblity of telling someone they are being rude and not violating the TOS. 

    No gotcha there.  This post was edited by my2cents at September 11, 2019 9:24 AM MDT

      It’s a complete gotcha. You’re caught like a rat in a trap, and it bugs you, so you keep scrapping.  Bueno. 

      We must read for comprehension, and we must include entire context. 

    “ . . . or must I lie and say they are wonderful . . . ?”
