Btw, you don't do your .net bashing at .com, you do it here.

Really? I'm surprised, but I'll take your word for it. And good on you folks.*JBOMB* wrote:Ya...not one...in fact there has NEVER been a .net bashing thread over there...all the bashing comes from .net boss...hate to ruin yer vision of "how it is"...
That only proves that .net people like to bash .com in the .net forum, while .com like to bash .net in the .net forum.*JBOMB* wrote:Here...Here is a thread that proves what im talking about perfectly:

I do believe that if one is assaulted, it is commonly understood that the victim of said assault may attempt a defense. For said defense to be relevant, it must be in the proper place.TIGERassault wrote:That only proves that .net people like to bash .com in the .net forum, while .com like to bash .net in the .net forum.
It appears to me that there is at LEAST as much bashing of the .net going on over at the .com. Actually, the .net bashing on the .com looked a lot LESS accurate and more insulting to me, but I'm biased. There were a few people defending .net in one or two of the threads, but in most of them, no one seemed to feel the urge to jump in and "correct" you.WarAdvocat wrote:Just don't spew stupid, innacurate, ignorant, hateful, spiteful horse puckey and not expect a response.
Awww.. I don't know why I like you so much.Krom wrote:I check both boards every day, but I read probably 10 times as many topics on .net as .com.
I think the problem here is a couple people on both sides are overly convinced they are superior to the people on the other side. The majority of people on .net don't care, save for a few with a history of being overly dramatic and sensitive who feel the need to listen and respond to anyone who comes over and overcorrects something said about .com.
IMHO the ".com people" or whatever you want to call them that actually bother to come "all the way over here" to defend their precious board and the ".net people" who eagerly jump on the opportunity to pick up the argument represent the worst overly sensitive, thin skinned ego maniac drama princesses of the whole community. No matter what board you post on, if you bother get so hot in a topic where 95% of the community is indifferent you are an idiot.
Perhaps I should found a DBB.complain so both parties can flame and debate endlessly all they like and the rest of us won't have to skim over it in regular topics anymore.
Ok... Fair enough and I understand better now. Thanks. BTW I don't care if Koolbear goes to the NHB because kids can't go there and thats what it was all about with me.punisher wrote:OK, I'll make an exception for Bettina.
Yes, now I hope you understand our motivations. Many of us have known each other for years and felt it rather constricting to have to abide by a set of moral standards and rules that dont apply in our lives. That's why having two boards was a best case scenario. You have a place where you feel comfortable, and now I do as well.
What you don't understand is, there's nothing to defend. This isn't a competition. Don't try to make it seem as if it is. As I mentioned, we're all Descenters, and the two boards give Descenters of like mind a place to talk that is comfortable for them. What is so wrong with that?
BTW, your very own KoolBear is a member of our NHB usergroup and I'm sure he'll answer honestly if you ask him if he's ever cracked a smile at a dick joke over there.
Again. Live and let live. Dont hate on something just because it doesn't fit your beliefs. This world is made up of all kinds of people. What a boring world it would be, indeed, if they were all the same.

Actually, yes. That's the best description I've heard for it in this thread. But of course, the .net people think that's a good thing to have, hence why they go to that forum.Diedel wrote:[.com is] A place where people can freely display their lowest side, because their peers will be around to applaude.

Sorry if what I said came out as .com being a disaster. I just meant that it didn't turn out quite as great as you had first expected it to be.punisher wrote:Tigerassault. I have no idea what you're saying. Are you saying the forum would be great if it wasn't for the "corruptness" of people, so now it's a disaster? If so, please explain how .com is a disaster? We have a great board full of great descenters from all walks of life. We have had to do virtually no moderation whatsoever. We have a lot of laughs. It's very much like this board used to be. Disaster? I think not.
Good point.punisher wrote:As far as your tip about my "convincing article". I wasnt trying to convince anyone of anything. I just thought people might like to know what really happened, rather than speculation and/or lies.
Did you actually read Punisher's posts?Beowulf wrote:I disagree Tigerassault. I think the .com is exactly what the creators had in mind. It's fun.
Are you saying that when you make a post, your character completely dissapears and is replaced by a temporary one that comes out of nowhere?Beowulf wrote:This is what I don't understand. You think that because I (and others on the board) cuss and post dirty jokes on the Internet, it's a reflection on my lack of character as a humanBasing on the link Bet gave us; yes.Beowulf wrote:being?

Umm... Beowulf?Beowulf wrote:I would agree with you, if my actions took place in real life.
This IS real life! You really are typing a message for other people to see! Other people really are reading those messages! It's all real, whether you like it or not!
