Explain the appeal of being so pathetic a sign makes you scream for two minutes.

@ArenaSnow Actually, to go one step further just the internet itself can teach you some fairly nasty or ineffective communication habits. Because some people (who am I kidding saying at least half probably wouldn't be that big of stretch.) don't have communication outside the internet, so they don't know how to respond to others correctly. Whether being overly cautious and shy (maybe introverted) online because they expect to be bullied or mistreated like in real life for not being as proactive as society tells them to be. Hence why despite being interested in those hypothetical 1x1's, they still aren't actively seeking that interest out.

Or on the opposite end, they act completely irrational online because they don't have any healthy relationships outside. Becoming the trolls and jerk asses online because they've either gotten used to people communicating in such a matter in real life. Because I know people use the argument it's easier to be an asshole online because you don't see the person face to face, you may never meet them outside. So who cares how you come off to that person?

But I'd argue it's equally as easy to be kind on the internet. So those who can't even manage that, probably aren't normal/healthy individuals. Because sociability is much easier here than offline. So as long as you're actually extroverted, which to be fair most assholes on the internet aren't. There wouldn't be any problems. But that tends to be why the internet is filled people that don't properly communicate. Also doesn't help the shy type of introvert to see such toxicity online, because that only justifies their anti-social actions. So I'd argue my advice is actually more necessary than I may have made it seem. Because actively encouraging people to talk to you online, simply adding. "Please PM me, if you're interested." instead of merely hoping or assuming they'll know it from the start. Shows that you're less likely to bite that person's head off for merely speaking to them. And because people are so used to "Oh, just be a complete dick online, you won't ever suffer consequences of that." Those shy individuals online could use all the encouragement they can get, that talking to strangers won't lead to immediate regretful consequences.

Humans.

Rant over :)

I guess this is kind of same thing, but shorter. :I

@ArenaSnow I think that would just come off as something that shows that person lacks some experience on 1x1's. Or maybe their just used to doing it like that. Different sites can program you to do odd things.

To rectify that problem, simply specify to do so in the very post. So the only confusion can come from people too lazy or stupid to read.

Do you know what 'reconnaissance' means?

@Doivid Already had someone mention that. I just didn't edit it. Maybe I will just to save someone else the hassle. ;P

It's usually fairly easy to find someone making a mistake in writing. I'd bet pretty much everyone on the forum has at one point. Not capitalizing after a sentence for instance. ;P

Thankfully it's a spam post. I found it in places where people should be being much more careful about what they type. :3

@j8cob While a true statement, that opinions can try to present themselves as fact and they certainly aren't. It's harder to argue over subjective opinion, not trying to call itself fact. Like can you say what is and isn't funny for instance? With 100% logical reasoning. Not really. Sort of where we're going with this. Or at least I was. <.<

^first passive aggressive bit from me, which I can't say about you. And, to be fair, others who have participated in this conversation.

@ArenaSnow

Or, I guess, you can continue to bitch about it.

@ArenaSnow

There's no way you could of typed that with a straight face, I'm thoroughly convinced you are trying to stir shit now. -.-

I'm glad it's fun for you people to use ad-hominem attacks. I find it tiring. I don't like sounding like complete prick. Unless I'm trying to be funny. >.>
