I don't understand Spam right now

Spam was never a cesspool of pure evil.If 4chan is a castle, spam used to be that padded bouncy-ball filled blowup castle your cousin had at his house for his eighth birthday. Now it's a petting zoo. Or something. This was a poorly conceived analogy.

Spam used to be you say the wrong things to the wrong people you would get jumped on your way to your car. Now if somebody says something even remotely wrong, everybody starts shouting at each other until Off-Topic calls 911.

And 4Chan is like Omega from Mass Effect. Times 10.

What's the difference?

Both of those descriptions just sounds like an environment ripe for arguments and hurt feelings.

Or, you know, keep the arguing and debating srs bizness to other forums and just loosen up and relax here. One thing I've learned in my time in Spam is that people really have to get to know you before giving you the benefit of the doubt that you're not being serious and for you, it's an uphill battle because of your reputation. I'm not telling you how or what to do, but just offering a bit of advice. Chill out, stay away from topics that make you want to argue. I'm not saying shit post or anything but just talk about regular shit and keep OT type stuff out of Spam.

That's still an issue with how others interpret what I say and make it a conflict. If this is true, the majority of my conflicts aren't in fact conflicts I cause but conflicts because people make assumptions about what I mean.

2 things...I'll try to be brief/even handed about it because I'm not comin at you or anything.

Sometimes if you're the common denominator you kinda have to reassess. It's just reasonable.

Also, you can't really expect people to just adjust to you in a different place. I do think people have to push for their own 'niche', but it's a two-way street. Both sides give a little when they get used to eachother. So you can't just assume because you know where you're coming from, everyone else does.

That's all. You might already know, but I figured I'd throw it out there.

inb4 he picks this apart and starts an argument.

inb4 mdk ironically deconstructs a different spammer's pos.....

shit.

NO. Do not start this bullshit argument again. It's done. Gwazi, I even messaged explaining to you that it wasn't due to thinking you were serious. I thoroughly explained what problems different people had with it in actuality. Please, go back and read that, and stop insisting it's because we were too stupid to realise you were trying to make a joke, or somehow unreasonably judgemental for "making assumptions". The very fact that that's how you keep seeing it is just another example of the attitude and behaviour that I explained would get under people's skins.

With that said, let's cut this out now. One thread has been locked and another firebombed from existence because of this stupid issue. Let's cut the shit now, or at least take it to PMs. This isn't even a particularly interesting drama in the scheme of things, after all . Let's take a leaf out of the book of Aza and rpg101, because they actually made me laugh and the whole world revolves around my enjoyment. Yay for them.
