Getting mad at things over the internet

[-=Squid=-]

Am I the only one with this problems?

I get extremely mad and frusterated when reading flames etc. on the internet. Granted, they are on PBN, and long story short, a guy had his friends do it because I didnt buy his geddon..

Now, the point to the thread, am I the only one who gets extremely mad about this sort of thing? When I say mad, I mean in real life ready to break something. This is the second keyboard I have messed up from hitting, and there are several broken glasses and a mouse.

Anybody know any simple steps to reduce the temper with things that really dont matter at all? (This being one of them...)

If possible, try to find something funny in the situation. Most flames/trolls are so stupid it's funny, which is probably tied right in with being stupid enough to bother.

Thats why it makes me so mad... id show the thread, but there is some language, nothing major, but language is a no no around these parts.

They are all morons! Saying completely stupid things! Now, this is just an example as I Get frusterated easily on the internet.

I just dont even understand it. Even if they are intelligent about making me look like a fool it just enrages me. Im not trying to sound macho or anything, because im anything but that... I just have a temper with certain things.

It is an easy answer, if every time you go to PBN you get mad don't go there.
I don't like some parts of town so I don't go there.
I don't like my ex wife so I don't call her.
Why go to PBN anyway, it is full of 13 year old internet warriors and complete morons.

Its not just that... its the internet in general. Even here sometimes.

When you post a reply..read it through a couple of times before you hit the Submit button and think "how" you would react to the answer you are about to post...then ask yourself the question "would you like to see the post you are about to make in reply to one of your posts"? Often the answer is "No" and so you shouldn't post in that case...you post when you should have said to yourself "no I won't post a reply" and then wonder why you get annoyed..hence this thread. It is human nature to dissagree with others views but a little self control will go a long way. Subject matter is often the case for flames or dissagreements..how may threads have you started that were not in the least funny, you might have thought they were funny, and you got attacks for your "stupidity" and then got annoyed when the other people on here pointed out your shortcomings in the "comedy field" There are a bunch of proverbs that would apply but the most relevent is " Those in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones".
I am not attacking you...whatever you might think, just simply replying to your thread subject with hopefully some advise that will help you.

I find that it is best that you just remember they are immature little kids, shrug it off, and get off the damn computer for awhile, enjoy life, not Flames

The internet sucks. its got to the point that its only used to insult people and share porn (thats naughty)

I just took a 2-week hiatus, went camping, visited old friends out of town. Didnt touch a comupter the entire time...


I got on last night for an hour or so and was disgusted with how much time it felt like I was wasting

I think I might take another, slightly longer vacation from the web...

getting into fights online is like being in the special olympics. Even if you win, you still look retarded.

Cryer - I think I might just try that. Thanks buddy.

I take a break from time to time myself. You might have notice I have take several periods of time off lately. Including most of the last three weekends. You gotta do that. Come back refreshed and a bit more tolerant.

Well, after that last thread im ready to destroy anybodies soul and crash a helicopter into there face if they get to close. That was pretty lame all around.

Either way... Im sure you all can tell, when I get into a debate, the further it goes, the more hostile my posts get. Gradually... little by little.

LOL.... yea I understand. But you are getting a bit to "involved" in this internet world here. In the whole scheme of things in your life its really not so important as to lose any sleep over. Either enjoy it or stay away from it. Its not a need to do thing. Go read a book or watch a movie.... or help your dad or mom or something usefull and forget it while. You can and do need too. Its not a place where like perfection is expected. When you start expecting it then its YOUR problem not anyone else. Solve it. Come back refreshed.
