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?

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!

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.
