Tough and rough on the net, have you ever...? Options

[J-sin]

If this is in the wrong forum, I kindly ask the mods to change it for me. Thank you.

There's no doubt that it's easier to make friends online. When you become friends with a person on the net, you like them...NOT for their money, their car, their looks, nor their status. You like them for...their character. But wait! Let's think for a moment. Are they really who they APPEAR to be?

I'm a geek. Yes. I spend nearly the whole day in front of my computer and I have no life. I've met a wide variety of people in chatrooms and on Xanga. Nice people, perverted people, crazy (hyper) people, stupid people, (sometimes intellectuals but it's rare). However, the most I despise are the people who wanna act tough. There's always a few in a community. Even here in cb. I've been reading some topics and replies and there are some people who I've noticed bashing fellow members (clearly against the rules). And these people are senior members themselves!

A few months ago, I came across this really "tough" guy on the net. Yeah. He was one of the top operators in the chatroom and could kick you, ban you, kill you (whatever that means) from the chatroom. Just because he had AUTHORITY, he thinks he can push people around. That is just...wrong! One sweet day, I meet this "tough" guy outside. He turns out to be a 5 feet 3 inch midget and could have weighed (the most) 130lbs. I could break his neck like a F*ing chicken. Have you guys ever come across some "tough guy" wanna-bes on the net?

[SpedMonkee]

definately wrong forum

[sweet_devil]

I don't spend that much time on the computer...

also, that guy that you met in person+plus on the net probably has real personal problems...if he feels he has to be "tough" to make him feel better...especially on the net...

[merged double posts. don't double post next time-Fae]

[cowwi]

unfortunately yes...

the way i see it, is that these people obviously have some sort of problem in their lives. same thing as bullies, usually it's because they have been bullied so they turned themselves in order to feel security.

most of the time i would just quietly stay away from these people, but since i don't go in chatrooms (i heard the saying "there are crazy oldies who like raping little kids for fun lurking on there!" one too many times...), it hasn't been too much of a problem.

Well the whole "Tough Guy" Image dosen`t always get you somewhere.But maybe this guy feels insecure about himself.Cause on the net basically noone know`s you so its like your little dream world you can be/act like whoever you are because in reality you want to be like that but your not so being in the chatroom acting all tough is like there way to be how you would say. "Not themselves" an maybe someone "Cooler" Cause maybe about 60% would say they act out of character to look "Cool" or to "Fit in" to be just like the crowd.

An Yes I`ve came across some....

[kimmie2204]

yes i have...........actually i have noticed on createblog.com that there are people who constantly control the forums.....i see the same people closing people's topics all the time cuz they are so butt hurt that it has been done before.........i think u should only close them if after a certain amount of time there have only been a few replys.......some topics people really want to talk about and just cuz someone thinks its inappropriate doens't mean they should close it! or because it is in the wrong section! they are starting to look like forum nazis to me! sorrie just had to get that off my chest!

[Shattered_Hope]

Nope....but then again I don't meet "tough" people on the internet, chatrooms, or cB.....

[Kneuklid Romance]

...I wouldn't know...

...a majority of them are using the internet for control because they're so low on self esteem they need a way to boss people around because they can't seem to do it in person.

That's the sad reality...

.....I dunno though..this can be a pretty touchy subject for some people..

[KELLYYY]

Yeah, a lot. Most of them are my ex's friends.
Friend 1: You so short, your brain is smaller than mine!
Friend 2: Yo mamma.
Friend 1: Stfu or else Imma beat you up at school tomorrow.
Friend 2: Yeah, right. Who would wanna go near your stinky ass?

^Dude, those "jokes" aren't even funny, they're just stupid and retarded.

[WrathOfOnigo]

No, I usually don't talk to people that much on the internet without like looking at their xanga to see what they are like.

[heyyfrankie]

okay...we close all the topics that need to be closed...not just the ones that are pointless or the ones that don't have a lot of replies.

[to topic starter] since your ultimate question is if we have ever met some tough guy wannabes through the internet..i am going to move this to the lounge.

TOPIC MOVED

and on...i have never ever met any in person that i have met online.

[FoOd]

Never have and never will.... well maybe once I make a few close friend (that is, if I do)

[*jooleeah*]

Please don't double post. Just edit your post next time, thank you

I've seen a couple of people online like that. But hey...the internet can't be perfect, can it?

[loljuliana]

people who act tough are funny =)

[x LUV x ALWAYS x]

i've met people like that online even though im not at my computer as much as you are.

um, but no, ive never actually ended up meeting them in real life :P

[JlIaTMK]

Ah, but my child, these "tough" guys usually have problems with themselves so they look to take it out on people out of their physical life.

That is the only reason I can think of of why they would act like this.

[*mzkandi*]

Tough guys on the internet...how pathetic...anyways I have never met any of these so called "tough guys" in real life

[pinayprincess]

yes-- man.. it wasnt even funny... this chick think she can be all big when she's located on the other side of the world... man oh man, it was a good laugh untill she got all serious --blehblehbleh... i was like f*ck it, there more to life than this bull'crap'

[xquizit]

Yes, I know what you mean. And I find it pathetic.

Watch out for that knife flying through the monitor screen, could be deadly!

well 5' 3'' isnt exactly midget......but thats probably because i actualy know a midget.

[angel-roh]

I think it was at blogring dot net or the other forum site. I was a noob/beginner there and it was my first time chatting with the other members. and this one girl said that she was the moderator and whoever ask question about blogring dot net will immediately be kicked out of the AIM CHAT. that was the reason i came online because i wanted to ask few questions because i was really lost. so i asked... because i really wanted to know. because i wanted to submit skins (i didnt know createblog that time)... and the moderator warned me... i actually added her to my list then talked to her on her aim not the live chat... heh...so she warned me after i told her that im from blogring dot net and that im a beginner. yeah i thought i was stupid for saying that then she will block me or something. >.<;
