Instead of moderating threads, we like to just move it to the VIP or the trash can. It really saves us a lot of work. You should understand.
We don't like dealing with people, since we're People Staff and all. |

You know what? I am serious here. It makes me sad that you think I am spamming. I am trying to prove that I do take the internet very seriously. I mean, Tamacracker said I am Mongolian, and now I'm all up for Mongolian BBQ.
*sigh* I guess my love just isn't right for this community. :[ |

Actually, Christina and I were confessing our love for each other. Is that so hard to understand?!

I'm going to go against what I said earlier and give this another shot. If everyone can keep this on topic, it will remain in the lounge.

i agree with jc's opinion. i was gonna write my own essay of a post, but then i came across his, which stated my stance perfectly.
although i would add that i don't take cb as seriously as i take other parts of the internet. this is essentially my boredom forum ;o |

It depends, really. For the most part, the internet shouldn't be taken too seriously. I only get really, really angry or upset if someone brings my son up for no reason, other than to insult me or belittle him in some way. Other than that, I'll get annoyed, sometimes flustered but that's the extent of it.

for me, I don't take forums seriously at all. why? because it doesn't consume my life. it's just a good way to direct procrastination.

If this question is still being answered, I think it depends on what you're refering to online...like buying things or forums. If you screw up and start buying numerous things with your credit card then, yeah, the internet can be serious business. But forums, although it can be strict here and there, should be fun.

It depends. Assuming you're reffering specifically to forums, if I care about the people I'm interacting with at the time, then yes, I'll take it seriously. If not, no. Which is true of everything, really, not just the internet.

Anyone who insults your son is immature and just phails/10. He's so amazingly cute! How could anyone make fun of him?!

You know, in a lot of cases things that happen on the internet are not to be taken seriously. However, there are times when things can get rather personal and it's perfectly reasonable to get upset and let it affect you. If you're a decent person, you know when to realize that you've affected someone negatively in a very personal way and you'll stop. Unfortunately, most of the time we aren't that lucky and we just end up with someone who can't just go away and leave us alone.
