That's it.

I.S.T.

I've gotten tired of this place. I'm getting out before it becomes a flaming hell hole. You aren't allowed to have your own opinion no matter what forum you go into. Console, politcal, 3D tech, other hardware, etc. Jesus christ, people.
 
I"m sorry your opinion is wrong !!!!!


Anyway whats the deal. YOu have your opinion and others have another. If you don't want someone to argue against your opinion you should not speak it.

That is how it is in all forms of life , be it forums , person to person , college. Your allways going to get shit on
 
Well, here's the thing. Speak up about your opinion and boom, you get slammed. General Discussion is perhaps the only forum free of trolls. The others are infested with them, waiting for people to slam. They even bait at times, as evidenced in the Politcal forum. I'm just sick of it. Edit: This is my last post. See y'all on another forum, maybe.
 
Pffft. If you don't want to support/defend your opinion don't speak it.

Seriously. Sometimes 'your opinion' can be another's idea of close-minded hate mongering/bigotry/racism and can offend, I'm surprised it comes as a surprise to you that your opinions are met with criticism. (I'm not talking about you specifically btw, I meant it as a generic example thus the hyphens)

Well, my last post was going to be my last post here, but I saw this.

It's not that I don't want to defend my opinion. I have. It's all of the insults and childishness that this forum can have. I see all of the anti-Isreal stuff as hatred myself but I don't go and call them anti-semites or Judism haters. Take anti-Isreal out, stick in pro-Bush, take out anti-semites and stick in bushites and you gave the arguement that most of the Bush dislikers(Only thing I can think of that doesn't sound negitive. I think the man is a moron myself. I don't see a reason to defend him, but that is me.) use. They call the pro-Bush people mindless, racist, blind fools.

I am basicly saying I'm leaving because the people here need to GROW THE FUCK UP.

Edit: 666... I AM THE MASTER OF ALL EVIL! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Edit2: I'll add a few more things. The Pro-Bush people here will do the same thing the Bush dislikers/haters(I just remembered there are people here who hate him blindly........) do. They'll go into anti-Bush topics and troll. They aren't any better than the Bush dislikers/haters in that aspect.

I sometimes wonder if the people here can't make an argurment at all without using name calling as a cruch. I mean it. Around 60% or so of all of the people in this forum, more so in the Politcal sub-forum, base their arguements mostly on some kind of belittlement. Hell, I have at times. Wasn't right though. I just hope that one day maybe the forum will grow up a little.
 
I agree, this place is very stale.

Religion & Politics forum is about US politics and absolutely nothing else (specifically Neocons v. non-Neocons). Yawn!!!

The main forums are about NVIDIA v. ATI. Same thing.

Every forum you go in, everybody is in write-only mode.

Politics in the UK is going through a real crisis point precisely because it's got like this forum. Politician A states their opinion. Politician B states their opinion. Politician A re-states their opinion, using the same words they did first time round. Politician B re-states their opinion, using the same words they did first time round. Politician A... you get the picture. The general public changed channels years ago.

In the end you get a whole bunch of people talking and none of them thinking (except maybe thinking about how to score cheap points over the other.

Very tiresome.

Farewell IST, best of luck finding more relaxed conversation!

I always figure when someone resorts to that they're desperate and losing the argument, it's a derailment tactic.
 
Hey IST, don't go! Apart from a general lack of boards as good as this one on the net, go on, i'm sure u have fun reading these pages! Don't u....?

Well, I used to. Now it's mostly idiocy. :( You're the person I respect most here. I don't think I've ever seen you stoop to a childish level in an arguement. You're also funny as hell, and very intelligent.
 
I checked out of curiosity and saw dig's reply. If you look up you'll see that in my reply to him I wasn't going to post agian but I had to when I saw his post. Then I went and saw a bigot's post in the politcal forum and calmly asked him to back up some of his claims. I'm sticking around 'til I'm done talking to him. Check out the third page on the Texas GOP homosexuality topic.


Oh, now that's just mean. Bad, jvd, bad!

I dunno weither that is funny or you're just being an ass. :?
 
come on IST it's not sooo bad, surely it will be hard to find a better forum on the net, if you enter into a moderated one than well, you can expect to find moderation or straight out bias in one way or another... it kills the spirit... the forums here are alive and well, just point out the ad-hominems, stop participating in the thread and move along, there will surely be other good threads that will come up to make your day. ;)
 
Well, I tried notifying the admins here about the issue(See my two topics in Feedback.)but they are ignoring it completely. It would take them less than five minutes to set up mods for the place. I've admined at phpbb boards before, it's that easy.
 
Although I'm a big 3D noob and not a big poster here, this place has changed a lot lately, in a bad way. I just don't want to see this place going further downhill because of some retarded fanboys, so some banning would be needed imo ..

No, I did think that came off as a bit rude, but my "bad, jvd, bad" was meant to keep my post's tone a litle lighter. Since I'm no longer a part of B3D I don't want to come off as "bossy" (for lack of a better word).
