Kiti, I do 100% agree with you, but... Well, I don't really know what's going on between you and Murray, but if someone on here has been rude or spiteful to you, the best thing to do (in my opinion) would be for you to respond to them in a calm manner but without saying anything that could potentially be offensive, yet show that you do not tolerate it. I know it's so quick and easy to want to respond back in a harsh way to someone who's being rude to you, but sometimes it's just not worth it. :\ The best thing to do is to just set the good example, because if we keep being nasty to one another, well, it's only further perpetuating this behaviour.

I, too, have noticed some rude members on this forum. Especially in the debate threads in Brewster's Cafe! A lot of people leave such horrible and nasty insults, personally attacking people who may have a slight difference in opinion to them. It's really disgusting, it makes me upset having to read it. I shouldn't have to experience that, and NOBODY should have to experience that behaviour. We shouldn't have to just "accept it" because "yeah people are rude so we should get used to it". We shouldn't ever tolerate rude behaviour. Maybe if people realised that it wasn't going to be tolerated, people would perhaps think before they spoke or wrote out a message. The best thing to do is report that message, and block them so you can avoid seeing their posts. :) That makes things much easier that way.
 
1.- If you make a contribution with useful information you need to give a source. No one is going to be there to search for something you said just to check if it was right or wrong. You are the interested in giving the information.
2.- To be honest, what this thread looks like (to me) is just a a generalisation to draw attention to those three cases in which you were involved. You keep saying ''oh, i made this thread to ask something, so please stop drawing attention to yourself...'' while you remained discussing for three entire pages.

The point of this post isn't hurting you or making you feel bad. If this point sounded rude to you or anyone i'm not sorry (at all). It's your fault if you get offended by a text written in a neutral style.

Btw, wanted to remark something: not using emoticons or lot of ascii/alt signs doesn't make you a rude ogre.

So someone saying "you have problems" is in no way rude? Some people clearly see where I was coming from, others don't. I wasn't talking about that specific issue on here, and I don't see anyone else I quoted coming on here to start drama. It's over and done with so I'd like for everyone to stop talking about it since clearly we all see it differently, and it's causing fights.

I was asked for quotes, it's not like in the op I put them calling people out. And are you not on vampirefreaks?

Unrelated - but when I was on it over a year ago I remember talking to someone with that exact same picture - so if you're not - heads up someone has been (or was) using it o_O

this thread was made so people could talk about their experiences on the forum and run-ins with rude people? youre generalizing. please stop. this thread isnt even about another thread. stop looking at that, and try to understand this thread didnt even say who said those things.

by the way, no one here is using ascii or emotes, so why would you bring that up?

thank you! I will say I could have handled it better and not have brought myself to the same level (just being rude back and fourth) but I think the most common internet fight issue - everyone responds before thinking thus leading into fights D: Obviously I took it more personally, seeing two people being called stupid for being newcomers, or liking something, and then someone saying I have problems, I felt like I was just also standing up for all the previous incidents as well (when really I should have just ignore them)

Yeah, have noticed a couple of rude people(not to me); Most of them being in the "General Discussion" so I tend to avoid that part of this website. I myself stick to the main Animal Crossing and haven't seen any rude people there(albeit I haven't been on this site for that long.)

We will unfortunately always have rotten eggs in the community. Can only avoid them :/

Everyone saying where they see it the most, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the villager trading plaza D: You have those once in a while posts where people proper have it out over a cute little villager D:

I've actually seen several auctions a few months back where a certain user was very rude towards some of the bidders and bugging the auctioneer to say that the villager they were selling was still theirs. It's awful to see rudeness, especially towards just some pixels in a game, I agree.

I dislike seeing people who say the villager is a waste of a money etc. D: It's all virtual, it's not like someone is bidding 26 million dollars on them (at least I hope that's never the case D:)
 
I think you just need to calm down and stop letting what people say online get to you. It's simply not worth it. Not worth the time, effort or thought.

After all, this website is on occasion dominated by children, so of course people are going to be hostile and rude to one another. Just suck up dat calcium and strengthen that backbone

And isn't it also pointless to make threads like these? All you end up doing is dragging on fights, so be the bigger person and just let it go. By making a thread to complain about it you're only making it worse and dwelling on small little things. Yeah, maybe someone was rude, but who even cares? Just chill out and let it go. What can you possibly get by making a thread to entirely complain about these petty little arguments?

Plus, like you said, any body can look up anything now, so if you complain about something here we can just look at your posts and find out who was apparently "rude", again dragging out these stupid fights.

And I don't know the context of these fights completely, but saying buying villagers is stupid isn't super rude, it's more of an opinion, which can stem from the fact that there are many people who give away villagers for free, but again, that's an opinion, so it's you're fault if it makes you upset enough to make these type of threads.
 
Aren't passive aggressive threads rude in their own way too?

But see, this isn't passive aggressive. This thread wasn't going on about anything specific. Murray (or however it's spelled) chose to drag it out on here and make it about himself, this was a general thread and what really got me to post it was seeing several users being rude and name calling and I wasn't sure wether to leave this forum or stay.

Why is no one brining up the user that asked me for quotes? Because that is the only reason I provided them, and even then I left out usernames. My point in this was mainly to discuss thoughts on people being rude, but I find it unnecessary how some people treat each other. Murray turned this into a thread about the fight, and that's on them, I can't control what other people do.

I've seen people post about being depressed about life, nothing related to this thread. But I can't post how seeing users being rude to each other is bothering me?

You need to understand, this thread had nothing to do with that fight. Someone asked what I saw to see if it was rude or not. And as I've said, I couldn't decide what I should personally do. I'm not the first person to make a thread asking this, and at least my question pertains to what goes on this forum, not my personal life. And no. But calling someone stupid because they have just joined this forum and don't know the rules is, which was my point if you actually read my quotes.

And I've said several times, this isn't about that fight, asking people not to bring it up anymore, yet they still do.

NOW {because I wasn't before} I'm going to be passive aggressive and say there is no point in even having a normal discussion on this thread, as Murray has dragged his drama onto it {even though it was unrelated if you read the og} and people are still on about it.

So let's see now who ignores this thread and who continues to make invalid arguments :l
