  1. Well, is it hazing or hostility? Where does the line draw?

    1. @awlditzy Neither of them are good, to be honest.

      Sunday, 21-Sep-14 06:57:59 UTC from web
      1. @redenchilada I suppose not... not like I want to have to tip-toe around people but I kind of agree with you... into that if I had faced some of that when I joined I'd have left more permanently (probably).

        Sunday, 21-Sep-14 06:59:27 UTC from web
        1. @awlditzy Agreed.

        2. @awlditzy I totally get not wanting to walk on eggshells and freedom to discuss what you want etc, but when someone joins to a community full of inter-depreciating jokes and "ponies suck" on a pony site it's... offputting, to say the least. But I'm no more than a couch commentator on the community here at this point, so it's not worth getting upset about.

          1. @redenchilada I face worse than what is said here irl but it does irk me just a tiny bit with all the "le ponies suck" thing. Not enough to say anything until pressed, but, there you have it.

            1. @awlditzy Especcially when they don't tell you it is all a facade to mess with you later.

              Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:05:01 UTC from web
              1. @metaltao That's when you have two options; play with facade or make them more uncomfortable about you.

                Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:06:12 UTC from web
                1. @awlditzy Or never know? Is that an option? I mean, what do you do with out of place hatred? It feels like running into a town for family and finding a bunch of Invaders in your town.

                  1. @metaltao clam down man its the interent

                    Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:08:50 UTC from web
                    1. @rainbowlover Yup, but is it a natural law the way things are? I am talking. Isn't that part of the internet as well? I mean, I am just talking here. I hope. I do hope you understand, I just don't get to discuss this a lot with people. I don't mean no harm I am sorry... @northernnarwhal @Awlditzy

                        Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:11:08 UTC from web
                        1. @rainbowlover I do that. But it would be Sporadically.

                          Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:11:40 UTC from web
                      2. @metaltao Stop apologising for everything.

                            1. @northernnarwhal EAT MY DICTION! But, seriously bro. I just want to go and run into this convo here! It is just something I haven't got to talk about yah know? The way it just, is hard to talk about. Like what it means to welcome. Can we try that bro?

                              Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:16:24 UTC from web
                              1. @metaltao HEAL YEAH!

                                Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:18:54 UTC from web
                                1. @northernnarwhal Yes, indeed. Shall we talk about that and the ethics of a salutation?

                                  Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:19:35 UTC from web
                                  1. @metaltao Ethical Salutation: http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/63054/63054,1195420667,4/stock-photo-humorous-young-guy-waving-with-blank-stare-isolated-on-white-vertical-7079296.jpg

                                2. @northernnarwhal I thought welcoming was that thing I pay $5 per month to run a bot to do for us

                                  Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:19:37 UTC from web
                                  1. @redenchilada That too

                                    Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:24:12 UTC from web
                                3. @northernnarwhal H ho ho?

                                  Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:19:43 UTC from web
                                4. @northernnarwhal Also, I feel like you don't want me to talk about anything though. Is that true? Or am I reading this wrong? Sorry. But I feel like I should be asking this broseferino

                                  Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:21:31 UTC from web
                                  1. @metaltao You know it might just be your inferring "bro" into everything. Just a thought.

                                    Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:25:24 UTC from web
                                    1. @awlditzy Yeah, but I am indecisive. I sometimes like a clear answer. I am getting to real here. I should have left. I sound angry, but I am just devoid of emotion.

                                      Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:26:12 UTC from web
                                      1. @metaltao Angry, no. Pushing on what is obviously a wall, yes. OR, just impatience.

                                        Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:28:56 UTC from web
                                        1. @awlditzy I don't follow? What do you mean? Am I preaching to deaf ears? If I am preaching. I am not sure. Is there something rude I am doing? Please tell me.

                                          Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:30:31 UTC from web
                                          1. @metaltao we all must learn to read the wrold ourselfs

                                            Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:31:10 UTC from web
                                            1. @rainbowlover True, but I was born without much of a capability to do that.

                                              Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:31:35 UTC from web
                                              1. @metaltao it isnt about born its about learn

                                                Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:32:15 UTC from web
                                                1. @rainbowlover Yes, I am sorry, it is about learning, but I don't know anyone who makes books on this stuff you know?

                                                  Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:32:51 UTC from web
                                                  1. @metaltao you lern threw life! you learn threw experence

                                                    Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:33:41 UTC from web
                                          2. @metaltao constant replies to one post is going to make some people less willing to say anything in reply. It shows impatience, and lack of understanding to an extreme degree. Take deep breaths before typing. Relly.

                                                1. @awlditzy Yes, but people may not be happy with me.

                                                    1. @awlditzy They are my friends. It is the last thing I want.

                                                2. @awlditzy I don;t want to make any more stupid mistakes.

                                                  Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:34:48 UTC from web
                                                  1. @metaltao Guess what, you're going to. No way you can avoid it. C'est la vie.

                                                    Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:35:18 UTC from web
                                                    1. @awlditzy I believe I can. I just need to be more aware. More understanding. I am just an idiot. ANd, now, I am getting people to talk about me. Which is not a good thing.

                                                      Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:36:09 UTC from web
                                                      1. @metaltao bascally be a man. dont care so much bout wat ppl think. you find then ppl like you more

                                                        Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:37:01 UTC from web
                                                      2. @metaltao No matter how much you prepare for something life's going to throw a curve ball at you. What makes us US is how we deal with it, and how we move on.

                                                        Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:37:16 UTC from web

                                                            1. @rainbowlover We were arguing?

                                                              Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:40:11 UTC from web
                                                          2. @metaltao Man I get upset over very little that isn't focused on my being a toxic vermin.

                                                            Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:40:08 UTC from web
                                                            1. @awlditzy I didn't know we were arguing.

                                                              Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:40:24 UTC from web
                                                            2. @awlditzy I am sorry...

                                                              Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:40:31 UTC from web
                                                            3. I guess, I forgot where I was.

                                                              Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:41:21 UTC from web
                                                              1. @metaltao Basically, when you feel like you make a mistake or whatever, you shouldn't leave, you should talk it out to the end. It may be hard but in the end it'll be better for everyone.

                                                                Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:42:09 UTC from web

                                                                Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:43:35 UTC from web
                                                                1. @fyf Aye... But, what do I do to show my, I guess. "Feel bad"? What is it called... It makes sense to be annoyed by that, it sounds like a broken record. But, I do feel bad. What do I do? I can't make anything, I can't fix it. I don't have that knowledge. Please, what do I do? It has kind of been imprinted into me. A coping mechanism if he will.

                                                                  Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:46:09 UTC from web

                                                                    Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:47:29 UTC from web

                                                                    Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:49:14 UTC from web

Bad habit I picked up from being a loner for a long time I guess. I feel like I should tell someone about my life, but that feels selfish, especially now.

                                                                      Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:52:20 UTC from web

                                                                        Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:52:49 UTC from web

If anything you're /too/ humble. You think it's selfish to talk to your friends about your life, but that's part of what being friends is about.

                                                                        Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:53:23 UTC from web
                                                                        1. @fyf Aren't people supposed to ask though? It is all very confusing.

                                                                          Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:55:31 UTC from web

For example, if I decided at this exact moment, I can think of several people here who would be perfectly willing to hear it, and wouldn't think I'm being selfish.

                                                                            Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:57:41 UTC from web
                                                                            1. @fyf Indeed you are not.

                                                                              Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:58:51 UTC from web

                                                                                Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:59:47 UTC from web

                                                                              Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:59:45 UTC from web

                                                                                Sunday, 21-Sep-14 08:05:42 UTC from web

                                                                        Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:54:05 UTC from web

                                                                          Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:54:46 UTC from web

Sure, keeping things back on purpose of not making waves... well no I wouldn't call that humility either, that's politeness or being contrite to a fault. I suppose, one can argue semantics on that.

                                                                            Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:56:36 UTC from web

                                                                              Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:57:30 UTC from web

                                                                                Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:58:12 UTC from web
                                                  2. @metaltao I've made enough stupid mistakes to know that stupid mistakes are part of life. We grow because of stupid mistakes.

                                                    Sunday, 21-Sep-14 07:36:15 UTC from web
                2. @awlditzy Or, running into town and finding your uncle and family turn against you.

                  1. @metaltao Simple. Find another place. Or bunker down and get used to it, and throw kiwi back.

    2. @awlditzy Is it same? Is there malice? Malice is bad. Guilt is bad mentally and physiologically.

    3. @awlditzy It seems closer to hazing
