I think that I disagree with a lot of people here.

I really like having Arka around. She's very nice, she's very intelligent, and she really tries to give people a chance.

I really feel that we're very similar. I've even mentioned that to her. I find that a few people here are very hard to tolerate, but I think that we both try to grit out teeth and get over it.

Considering all the shit that she's taken from almost everybody here, over very small things, she deserves something more like a medal, over more bashing.

She does have a different sense of humor, but doesn't everybody? I'll disagree with anybody that sarcasm is hard to pick up over the internet. Maybe it's because part of what I want to do with my life involves tearing apart things that are written to interpret meaning, but really, come on! If you don't understand it, and it's not directed straight at you, back off and laugh about it. You demand that she takes a joke, but then none of you do it yourselves.

I've talked to her a bit about what's gone on around here. The world just likes to dump on certain people for certain reasons. One reason I personally get defensive about what Casey says about me is because it's hard for me to like my own body, and I think it's incredibly rude for people to bring up things that hurt others. She's had some bad things happen to her, and she has lines she doesn't want people to cross. So, you know, when she says to stop talking about something, maybe people could stop. Some things, while said in jest, can be taken as hurtful or threatening.

I would really like her to come back. :cry:

I personally think we're all overreacting to this. I always thought (and still do) that she didn't leave...I mean she hasn't posted in what, like a week? 2 weeks? Since when does it mean that somebody's left the site if they don't post in a while? I bet in a few days she's gonna get back from wherever she is, read this and be like "I never left!". Maybe I missed it, but she never gave any evidence of leaving, did she? Now, if somebody knows better than me about her standing on the site and posting and all, please do share it. But, as far as I know (think), she's still very much a part of the site.

Becoming religious and vowing to realyl cut down on cussing because whenever i need to express things icant use poopoo words and it sucks. But anyway, We were doign jsut fine with our humor here before she got here, some person cant just come in here and start WHINING about our style of humor. We and our humor have been here for what 2 or 3 years?? shes been here like 2 weeks. You cant just barge in here and start complaining.

Aww... cum'on guys, cant we just be friends!?!? [/hippy]

Well... all i have to say is that when you have a place with LOTS of different people, you get LOTS of different kinds of personalitys, and i guess different senses of humor. Deal with it. (okay... didnt mean to sound THAT mean there...)

(I do agree also that sarcasm IS very hard to sense on the internet compared to real life.)

Concerning Arka...she is still convinced that I and a gang of others are going to track her down and napalm her house. -_-

I really dont care that much to burn her house down. And like I pointed out to her. If people were serious about the whole, napalming her house because she said stupid stuff over the net, then Casey's, Lil Joe's, and Spazz's houses would be a pile of ash.

When she wasnt trying to insult people and make horrible jokes, I tolerated her. Her input on a lot of subjects were really constructive, and you can see that with my ratings for her.


I dont miss her and I really dont care if she comes back. But if she comes back, I hope we'd be able to converse in a more civil and mature manner.

Hah, speaking of napalm, I saw the movie "We Were Soldiers" today. Despite the fact that war sucks, it was a pretty good movie.

Who says their houses are safe from burning? I'm a chemistry major nobody is safe near me.

Alot of people make horrible jokes. I do that all too often, and potter as Ho pointed out, half of the time speaks in code. It's all about their personality and as MMR pointed out, people do have different personalities. Nobody is perfect*, but I think we can just not constantly bash nice people because they take things a little harder than people who are used to it.
*except for me because I'm awesome

arka was a bitch, moshmosh is fat, whatev. I wish i could be rid of both of em.

mosh if you have such an issue about your oversized body then do something about it. I hate hearing fat ppl say 'its not my fault'. Yes it is, its your fault that you don't exercise or even make an attempt at being healthy.

as for arka, nothing she said was constructive. It was all underminded bashing. She tried to challenge me and failed. GG mark another dead one for casey.

Casey - 1 million
IndyDDR - 10 or so... (for each banning)

With Casey, it NEVER goes anywhere. -.-
I've been here about two years now, which, compared to some people, really isn't that much. But it's still quite a bit.

And I can count on one hand how many constructive comments I've heard from him.

Aaaaaaaaanyways. Needless to say, I do miss Arka. Maybe I do just "get" her sense of humor and wit. I guess what made me feel weird before, the reason why I wanted to leave the forums, was because I felt like the forum's "goody-two-shoes." I dunno, all I wanted was for everyone just to stop fighting and being ridiculous...and obviously I learned that's impossible :? But I can't help it. I feel like I have good common sense and logic. That's just who I am. If there's a fight going on, I always feel the need to try to stop it.

Yep. Stepping into stupid shit here is futile, unless you have a few other people willing to be on your side as well. When you feel like you're going to be the only one, though, it's better to just stay back and watch.
