Without judging people off.<br /><br />More people should take this as an example. <br /><br />Thank you :)mage guidehttp://www.mage-levelingguide.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-26301950620783499052010-03-25T15:31:14.103+01:002010-03-25T15:31:14.103+01:00Iv read som e-mail spam and blog spam on different...Iv read som e-mail spam and blog spam on different blogs over the years and I must say that the worst comes from blogs in newspapers. One person writes a comment, another catch him/her on a mistake/misunderstanding and the next 40-50 post is an escalating war on the blog making it unreadable. Most wow-blogs are accually alot better, even the official forum ( witch is pretty bad ). As for the Ensidia episode there seems to be alot of comenters derailing in 2 directions depending on if they are fans or not. For some of them I have to say they sounds alot like they have been rejected from Ensidia or another hardcore guild or maby just been put down by a realy harsh hardcore player and henche are just feeling bitter. Once the coments takes the form of : "they are a..holes and deserve bad things to happen to them" you know whom Im talking about.Jbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474119591850558145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-17808406325121916042010-03-23T13:12:34.483+01:002010-03-23T13:12:34.483+01:00@Azryu: actually there have been quite a few good,...@Azryu: actually there have been quite a few good, interesting and thuoghtful comments and posts as well. But the very amount of it became a bit too much to me in the end. Sometimes it's better to leave things a lone for a while to cool down and just move on.<br /><br />@perdissa: I think it was a combination of a fishing macro and bad hardware from the beginning if I got it right.<br /><br />@SpiritusRex: thanks!<br /><br />@Kyrilean: sometimes I wonder if there isn't a bit of a PvP:er in all those seemingly peaceful bloggers. It's a bit of the same mentality that makes people post damage charts or otherwise compare themselves. A bit of e-peen-showing through blogging. There's an "I'm a smarter, better, more cleaver blogger than anyone else" attitude that sometimes pops up, like now.<br /><br />@Casualaddict: thanks! And about Ensidia, just let's agree on that we disagree.Larísahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-67838638688025784512010-03-23T06:21:00.448+01:002010-03-23T06:21:00.448+01:00Good call on all points but one.

Either way it still astounds me that people somehow fail to show common decency towards other people.<br /><br />Arguing a point is one thing. Arguing said point while totally disrespecting the other side's right to disagree is something I'll never understand.<br /><br />For example, I received a comment on my post today. It said "How uninteresting." I nearly died laughing!<br /><br />It seemed to be intended to incite me into a rage, but it just served to make me wonder why he was willing to take the 5 seconds out of his day to comment on something that didn't interest him to begin with?<br /><br />We appear to be a society hellbent on being rude to everyone at all costs.

I think others could communicate that they believe this is not what the people they would be fighting for would want them to be doing in their name.<br /><br />I think by saying that enough people would try to keep the peace to overwhelm all parties with a sense of overall goodwill, so that no one would feel threatened or overwhelmed.Azryuhttp://thearcanery.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-13353234209107345282010-03-21T09:27:50.050+01:002010-03-21T09:27:50.050+01:00@Carra: involving bosses is OK at some point, but ...@Carra: involving bosses is OK at some point, but not without informing about it first imo. "OK, you and I don't agree on this and we don't seem to be able to settle it, let's see what our bosses have to say on the matter." That's OK. Sending cc:s as a part of officer warfare isn't.<br /><br />@Anonymous: actually yes it probably is. That's why I was reluctant to write about it in the first place. However it HAS stirred up quite a few feelings in the community and I'm a part of the community, so I finally made the decision to share my thoughts once for all.

Feeling angry at work and want to yell at people? Wait a day and you'll think about these things in a calmer way. That way you won't regret the things you said.<br /><br />And seeing messages pass at work with the bosses name in it is just frustrating. If someone sends me a mail blaming me that I haven't done my job well and they put my boss in CC that'll just get me pissed.

I think the main issue is that people feel so tough and justified typing something that they'd never actually say to someone's face. I try to think about that if I'm about to fire off an angry email, would I say this to their face or not? <br /><br />I think people in general need to relax and not take things so personally. Realize that you may be reading something with inflection that is completely different than the writer intended and do like you did, go to the source and find out if there was malicious intent or not.<br /><br />Friday!
