Not everyone can ignore things that anger them that easily. It just eats at them inside until they find a way to respond to it.

And whether or not both sides of that argument really were overreacting, you were being way too goddamn callous in pointing that out.

I doubt Ruri would continue "attacking" him after this whole thing. He let out what he had to say, and that's that. Why leave if your problem is (potentially) solved?

Yes. You are right.
However...

Another nice trick to ignore such [parasitic bomb], which I used as well when people picked on me on the net, was to just read a bit of a post, if it's directed at me and it started out in a mean fashion...I just stopped reading. It [tornado fang]ing helped a lot.

What Joseph, and many others like him need to understand, is that unlike in real life, here you can find various easy methods of ignoring a "hater".
If he felt the need to leave, okay. Fine. But on the other hand, there was obviously more people here who DIDN'T MIND HIM or even LIKED HIM than Ruri and me (even then, I didn't mind him that much either).

But he decided to leave. And that's fine.

But in my opinion, what he should have done is to just focus on regular conversations and if any "attacking" would happen, he should have tuned it out.

Or he could complain to the staff. Seriously.

So in conclusion...

1. Try to find a way to ignore a "hater" who is "attacking" you.
2. They aren't bullies on the school playground who can beat you up, they are just posting meaningless words over a large distance. Just try to tune them out, or [tornado fang], ignore their posts altogether.

The only thing bugging me right now is my boss calling me an [dark hold].

Also people arguing about arguing.
Seriously, this is ridiculous.
Let's talk about how annoying it is when you try not to hurt yourself at work and all of a sudden you hit your funny bone on a metal corner.
That's just an awful time. =P

Oh god I hate when that happens, or when you stub you toe on the bed frame or coffee table in the dark.

Every god damned night!!! =[
Or like you get a really small paper cut on your finger and it's all you think about all day even though you have like 5 bruises already!

Sakura Leic · **Reply #731 on:** February 17, 2013, 03:01:41 AM

Paper cuts are horrible, how does paper cut you?

The Great Gonzo · **Reply #732 on:** February 17, 2013, 03:01:49 AM

I've smacked my funny bone a few times. Not fun.

Also there was this one night a few years ago where I slipped and landed on a hard surface, and for a few minutes I thought I'd broken a rib.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #733 on:** February 17, 2013, 03:04:31 AM

There were times when you get out of the shower immediately and then I slip on the floor. Granted I don't do that any more but my god that hurts.

That's happened to me when I thought I was good enough to do roller blade tricks off of a ramp even though I'm not good at all!

Well you see it pulls out a tiny blade, cuts you, laughs, pours salty lemonade in your cut and then pretends nothing ever happened.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #735 on:** February 17, 2013, 03:42:32 AM

Not the salty Lemonade!

Yes! The real question is, why it cuts us. I think paper is getting revenge for being cut down. That or I'm so tired this nonsense makes sense to me.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #737 on:** February 17, 2013, 03:53:03 AM

Luckily I've been able avoid it for quite some time.

Cherrykorock · **Reply #738 on:** February 17, 2013, 03:57:52 AM

I'm never so lucky, I somehow manage to cut my skin on paper/cardboard even though I'm wearing vinyl gloves.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #739 on:** February 17, 2013, 04:00:09 AM

Ugh cardboard cuts are worse.

Cherrykorock · **Reply #740 on:** February 17, 2013, 04:04:55 AM

I get those the most because I'll be carrying or lifting a 50 lb. box of apples, lose my grip and then a corner gets my arm.

The Drunken Dishwasher · **Reply #741 on:** February 17, 2013, 11:04:23 AM

I feel all that. Doesn't help that I run into corners in the kitchen (at work) when i'm sober, but when drunk. I avoid it like a pro.

It's. Weird.

Quickman · **Reply #742 on:** February 17, 2013, 07:02:04 PM

I leave for two nights and start plotting up a Wushu campaign for you guys to play, and everyone ragequits over a [tornado fang]ing RPG and other e-drama.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #743 on:** February 17, 2013, 07:04:06 PM

Sorry Quickie.

Fxeni · **Reply #744 on:** February 17, 2013, 07:08:16 PM

Like I said, taking things too far. Oh well.

Don't feel like going in to work again, big surprise. Tired of our studio being treated like dirt by the new management.

Quickman · **Reply #745 on:** February 17, 2013, 07:12:28 PM

Well, perhaps if we have a set of rules and no one is taking control of other people's characters, we wouldn't be in this mess. Wushu was to solve that problem, and I'll be working on a shortened version of the rules soon. Hell, we'll have character sheets, a dice roller, everything. And the best part? You control your character. Only your character (and whatever mooks you beat up, random NPCs who have anything to do with your narrative at that time, etc.), no one else's. This should reduce the butthurt, as that seems to be the biggest issue.

But since the people who wanted to play decided to leave because they can't seem to figure out how to freakin' just ignore Ruri, then I'm wondering if there's even a point to this whole thing. You're all getting bent out of shape over one person. One. Person. One. Person's. Attitude. That. You. Can. Easily. Ignore. By. SKIPPING. OVER. HIS. POSTS.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #746 on:** February 17, 2013, 07:17:15 PM

Yeah I really didn't understand that either.

Sad, isn't it? Or funny, depending on how you look at it!

For the record, I'll still play with you!

Quickman · **Reply #748 on:** February 17, 2013, 07:28:09 PM

Well, how I planned to set this up would be to introduce a cheat sheet of the rules and hold a signup period. People sign up, create character sheets, signups end, and the game begins. Once the topic is labelled "game in progress," no more players can join in. They would need to wait until the next game.
