Comments on: Why Go Out of Your Way to Trash a Fellow Stumbler? http://allsux.com/2007/07/23/why-go-out-of-your-way-to-trash-a-fellow-stumbler/ Sun, 01 Aug 2010 08:12:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Canicula http://allsux.com/2007/07/23/why-go-out-of-your-way-to-trash-a-fellow-stumbler/#comment-9011 Canicula Sun, 19 Apr 2009 09:44:27 +0000 http://allsux.com/2007/07/23/why-go-out-of-your-way-to-trash-a-fellow-stumbler/#comment-9011 Kingreaper, how about he aired this little tiff here because it's his blog and he can? Thanks for unilaterlly deciding what everyone else in the world will care about, i'll write you next time i can't make my mind up and you can fill me in on what i like reading about. Cheers. For the original subject, there are angry, unempowered, impotent people out there who want to offload on someone for their perceived injustices, they just happened to be touring your world that week. Kingreaper,

Seriously, this is a PERSONAL blog-post, there's no real reason for you to T-up it, no-one who stumbles on it will actually CARE. And you seem to think that T-downs shouldn't be used "just because you don't like something". Wait, what are they for then? Your votes are to show what you like and don't like. What you want to stumble on, and what you don't. I wouldn't want to stumble on this blog post, so it gets a T-D. I considered giving it a basic flaming, but *meh* in this case it just plain wouldn't be funny. And it's only worth blogging a bad site if the review is actually good.

There is an SU forum where this post is linked from and trashed, of course instigated by DLAF, and a number of folks have gone out of their way to thumb this down - yet no one leaves a comment, and DLAF won't respond when contacted. Too funny. It really says something that *still* none of them has posted a negative comment *right on* this blog.

I agreed wholeheartedly with your original blog, and as a heterosexual male, I would be lying to say that one or two nonstellar pages got thumbed up because the Stumbler was sort of cute. It's a male instinct, I guess. However, these losers who vehemently trash something someone has submitted are just internet parasites. They are the same people who a few years ago were signing into chat rooms just to call people names and sign out real quick. I'm sure it's some sort of defense mechanic built up from years of being bullied on the schoolyard. Online, they are able to so elegantly put into words all the things they were too cowardly to say to their enemies. Whatever.

If a page has no content, I thumb down. If it's actively offensive to me, I thumb down. If the page is nothing but a "site in progress" sign, I thumb down. Life is short. Thumbing down, making comments that explain why, and personal insults, are three different things. I am ruthless about thumbing down. If a page has no content, I thumb down.

This is especially prelevent within the internet community. What you've got is a bunch of low self-esteem geeks and nerds who have no life outside of the internet and need to put down other people in order to feel better about themselves. If you wore a sign around your neck that said "I author AllSux.com" and ran across these guys on the street (presuming they ever leave their dorm room), none of them would do or say ANYTHING. So, the moral of my little story is take anything these guys say with a grain of salt and be satisfied with the thought that they will NEVER have a happy and healthy relationship with a woman.

What troubles me is that people hide behind anonymity while insulting others, and then won't own up to what they do. In this case, DLAF can't even seem to figure out that she is, in fact, being insulting. Fine, if someone wants to insult others, that's fine. But at least own it, recognize that's the kind of person you are and don't hide behind lies on a blog that no one can make comments on, and, as such, no one can truly defend themselves or their ideas on.

Negative comments should be reserved for the few times they're really necessary. Unfortunately, there's trolls everywhere, and there's always people who'll fall for it. In fact, who hasn't fallen in that game sometime? Dude, you took the words off my mouth. Negative comments should be reserved for the few times they’re really necessary.
