Is it normal that a lot of people use this cool blog to just be mean?

I just joined this site. I think it is very cool and helpful, but I do see that a lot of users are judgemental and just plain nasty. They say the most ignorant and hateful things to people that are just asking for advice and insight on common problems that all of us face, asking if they are normal to feel something. I dont get it we are all here because we were wondering, if WE were normal in some aspect. People we should have empathy for eachother. You can be kind, or have a opinion about something without being a douche bag and still be funny

    When someone has a judgemental, anti-social, or ignorant opinion, I think it's fine to take them to task. If someone can take a joke, I think it's fine to have a joke with them.

    But if someone has a genuine problem and plucks up the courage to ask, then bullying them here seems almost inhuman. Thankfully there is no way of commenting anonymously, so we can all see who is doing it. And we do not wish them well.

      The question is, is humanity capeable of being humane?

        For limited periods, some humans, most definitely. For longer periods, all of humanity, I think we both know the answer to that.

            Why, thank you. I do keep them on a tight ration, though. Don't want people getting used to me actually putting a bit of thought into things. :)

    • "When someone has a judgemental, anti-social, or ignorant opinion" It's judgemental to say that as they're still valid opinions. Inhumane behaviour is one of the most "human" and necessary traits people possess. Your political correctness unnerves me with it's lack of consideration.

        I disagree. I don't think every possible opinion is valid, and that's where good judgement (or consideration) comes in. For instance, I don't think Hitler had valid opinions about Jews, but I do think he had the right to express opinions.

        We may have fallen into a semantic trap around judgementalism because I was using the perjorative meaning as opposed to consideration.

        If you break down my original post, all I said is that if people say something which is deliberately meant to be offensive, I feel I have the right to challenge it.

        Can't comment about political correctness because I don't know how it's relevant here.

        • "political correctness" is relevant in the background of every statement a person makes.

          If an opinion wasn't valid it wouldn't be an opinion. Not Thinking Hitlers opinions were valid IS just an opinion. He thought they were, and by that logic all opinions are valid. Because no one on earth can be the law on opinion, only have their own. Making them all right and wrong at the same time.

            Your opinion is not valid. Not all opinions are equal some are sound logically based on premises that are true and backed up by hard science or softer social science research others are formed after a few observations of single incidences or are direct appeals to authority which are later discovered to be wrong. Your probably a cultural relativist. People like you are the reason I am on this site i am very opinionated but I never argue about the ones that I cannot back up with a reasonable amount of evidence. Also everything you or anyone believes is an opinion nothing is fact. If there were a such thing as facts the nature of science would be very different. Science is never finished with a topic things can always be better explained some things in science are extremely well supported but our views are never complete. It is an opinion that the big bang happened an opinion that is supported by a plethora of evidence but still an opinion that could be uprooted and proven wrong. It is also an opinion that the bowel movement I took yesterday is responsible for the creation of the universe. These are both opinions but you cannot honestly tell me that they are equally valid.

            • If you believe in science, not all people do. It was invented by man and could be wrong as we don't know anything for certain. Any opinion is valid, thats what makes it an opinion in the first place, a seperate ideal no more or less logical in a universe beyond human comprehension. Nothing can actually be proven, science, god and the truth of existence. We don't know because we CAN'T know. It isn't about an opinion being right as NONE of them are, it's about them being valid as they ALL are by that logic.
              "Also everything you or anyone believes is an opinion nothing is fact"
              The only thing not valid is that sentence!

  • This person cant be referring to patties, they just cant be. Being a troll is my life's work. I am never mean or spiteful about it.

    If you want serious answers coming onto the equivalent of a social networking site to find it isnt going to help you one bit. Therapy may, being here wont.

    I agree. Sometimes people can't help themselves though, we all have off days but some people ask for it xD. I did make a story on here and some of the people assumed things about me that were not true. I just wanted advice and opinions. If someone doesn't add something into their story people shouldn't assume they know everything about them. If they think they might but aren't 100% then just go off the facts that were given.

      There is a different between being bluntly honest and being cruel to those looking for advice.

    Communication is 70% non verbal so there's a lot of times things can be misconstrued by the person writing a response or how someone else (the OP or any other user) interprets a response. Just because you interpret something one way, doesn't mean that's how it was meant or that everyone else reads it the same way you will. There's also quite a large international community here so sometimes the translations into English can get a bit mangled.

    In all the months and months I've been here I can barely recall thinking any user, especially any of the regulars, was only here 'to be mean'. You've only just joined and already deduced 'a lot' are here for only that? That's a big call to make.

    What makes life interesting, is that most people are not normal. Ask yourself, do you want to be normal? Would life then, just be a series of mostly boring experiences?
    Most people are, in fact, just the opposite; eccentric, in some respects. Is it possible to be normal in some respects, and eccentric in others? Absolutely, yes.
    Sometimes it can be beneficial (to society) to have an eccentric or normal viewpoint. The opposite, is equally true; sometimes it can be detrimental (to society) to have an eccentric or normal viewpoint.
    Sometimes it can be helpful to correct a behaviour (either eccentric or normal) by being mean to them, because they refuse to consider a factual and logical argument in a civilised manner.
    With that said, it is my opinion that we should refrain from from being rude or vulgar (or calling people 'names') in any circumstance. It is still possible to be mean to them without resorting to these types of usually ineffective tactics.
