Exactly, Mono. What on earth is the virtue in just obstinantly sticking to an opinion? No more virtue in that than in changing your opinion to match whoever you're talking to. The virtue was not in the sticking, but in the "well thought out and sound"-ness of the opinion, or as you worded it ( perhaps more correctly), conclusions and observations.

Maybe it seems like a simple difference of opinion just bugs the hell out of "us". Whoever "us" is. Seems to me that there are too many different points of view in the corporate "us" for us to be irritated by mere shmeer "difference".

Ever wonder if we might object to the fact that something was obviously not thought through, either through laziness or lack of intelligence?

Here's a thought - we're not exactly hurting for company. Although we always welcome adding a new friend to the circle, we're not so desperate that we're just going to gather in anyone who makes noise. The only thing that I can think of that ties us all together is the mysterious thing known as "vibe." Some people have vibe, and they generally end up in the so-called "inner circle" of Shmeng. Some people don't have vibe, but if they want to stick around and watch and listen, that's fine. Who knows, they may pick up on some vibe, and end up surprising us. And some people are the anti-vibe, and damned if we're going to put up with it. These are the twits, trolls, flame-bait, and noisy idiots. Noisy idiots seem to be the most common these days - people who think they've magically got an "in", but have never contributed anything that made anyone sit up and take notice.

Now, please don't ask what vibe is. If you have it, you know it, and if you don't, you probably won't get it. I will say this - if you still think we sit on people for just having a different opinion, then you probably don't have a clue about vibe. In which case, you're probably not the best qualified to instruct newbies on Shmeng policy.

Speaking of the undefinable thing called vibe... why is it that someone can be on his site for any amount of time - and see the different opinions. Then, when they say something that upsets anyone... we are all clones that blast all who don't see it our way... *sighs*

And frankly... no matter how retarded newbies are handled, WE are the ones lambasted... it makes no sense...

If someone burst into my living room, where my friends and I are enjoying each other's company, starts spouting some of the bullshit that is spouted here... first he'd be verbally disassembled, then physically removed... how is it that any place that people feel comfortable is really so different than my living room?

can we smoke in there?

I would also like to say hello! to blackheartedsoul, and look what you started...sheesh. I'm just joking, hope to see some future contributions.

As for WIG....as mono said any idiot can hold an opinion, and dig their feet in the mud over it, and still be stupid. WIG is stupid. Nobody cares about WIG anymore. WIG is tired, sad, and no matter what you say on it it's already been said before on a thousand sites by a thousand pissed off teenagers back since dripping blood bars and spinning skull icons were wicked awesome.

Feral, the difference between here and your living room is that there is no exclusivity or barrier here. all you need to do is choose a silly name, pick a password and type in an email address. I suspect that getting into your living room is a little different.
The thing about the internet, and particularly forums thereon is that they are accessible to anyone with a net connection available. Your living room is invite only (one can but assume) and one can make a forum like that, but how many people here were actually invited by the living rooms owner? I would guess 'very few.' This probably includes 'valued members' as well as 'idiots' 'newbies' and 'trolls'
This sometimes makes a trial by fire necessary, the thing is that often people seem to take more enjoyment in the bashing of 'idiots' than the reasons that the bashing of these people are necessary, the lively and intelligent debate of subjects members enjoy, and the whining about being caught in the rain/fucked over by a housemate or whatever. A pretty direct quote from such a situation would be 'get the trollbashing hammer' and 'sorry I missed the fun, Ill have to get the next one'

Schizo, why only obvious troublemakeing, stupidity and worth? Surely more subtle contributions should be noted as well? The vibe isn't an obvious state of affairs or everyone would instantly click in with it, why should contributions to it be so?

Not trying to be an annoyance here, sorry for that. If I'm not mistaken, this is the "karma free zone".

Enjoyed that one, did'ja...? You're new and would probably work this out in time, but I'll let you in on a secret. "Karma" (if one believes in it) is more than scripts. A true dolt will interpret "karma-free zone" to mean "consequence-free zone" and not expect anything they type in that area will go towards how people will size them up and interact with them later. And that's what it's there for.

~M.

Karma... is a threefold return on your actions... as well as the scripts that mono referred to... here... while safe from the karma scripts... you still have the reactions of others to deal with...

Wood... except that there is a barrier, just as solid... it's not a wall, but the reactions of the members... you learned... and went from complete troll to actually making some contribution from time to time.. while abbaddon stands at the window calling for attention... and, this place has karma which, quickly enough will shut the unworthy up... my living room doesn't have that... unfortunately

Of course not just obvious worth, etc., Wormwood. As one gets to know the new member in question, one notices more and more subtle forms of both worth and and the opposite. But these things take time, and for the raw newbie, aren't really going to be an issue for a while. Anyway, if someone has a glaring flaw, the fact that they have a subtle virtue isn't going to balance it out. For example, if someone is a klepto, it may be nice that they pilfer things with graceful motions of the hand, but I'm not likely to be so appreciative of their grace once they've stolen my belongings. A big "bad vibe" will swallow up a small "good vibe" pretty quickly.

Wood: you know what... I enjoy making fun of idiots... most people, reguardless of intelligence level, enjoy making fun of people who are dumber than they... and themore people protest this point, the more they secretly do... the trial by fire has nothing to do with idiot bashing... because, frankly... if an idiot is thick skinned, like abbaddon, it's going to stick around... the ability to endure, is not what makes people accepted... it is the ability of someone to be able to look at the responses and respond in a well thought out manner... there have been many people who were not idiots who did not fit in... and there a couple accepted people that are morons, but they have the vibe, common sense and personality to contribute....

On a side note -though you will probably see this as an insult... at times you border on brilliance... the beginning or middle of something you say starts to make sense...

Maybe. But I remember once when he/she said something in a thread about 'bullshit assumptions' of animal psychology that people were making. It was quite apt.

I agree, it is fun making fun of idiots. I find it more fun, however, to make them make fun of themselves. A retort to a foolish comment will often inspire an even more foolish comment in justification of the first. This as an alternative to the outright 'burn the motherfuckers with a blowtorch' approach that is, I feel, oft times over, or innaproptiately, used in what is always called a trial by fire, even if it does appear, to me at least and apparently to some others, as a witch burning. I guess it could simply be interpretation.

Thank you, by the way. Bordering on brilliance is far better than bordering on insane, or just sitting firmly in the middle. I shall try and get a passport to cross that border one day.

Sometimes, though, for those of us that have been here the full four years, it gets awfully tedious to play cat and mouse with yet another new idiot or troll. Not to mention the fact that you are giving an often not-too-bright person a lot of not-too-obviously negative attention, which the person often misinterprets as just plain attention, which must mean they are cool, and thus accepted, and then you either have to spend even more time and energy and nasty vibes to either dig the poor deluded fool out of its little foxhole, or else to ignore the vapid nonsense it's going to spout for the rest of Shmeng's existence. Sometimes it's a lot easier to just crack out the old sledgehammer and give it a couple of brute blows, and to hell with the finesse and artistry.

I personally have nine-tenths given up. We cleared out a lot of well-entrenched deadwood with our latest purge, and the process was not fun. Now it seems that new flotsam and jetsam has come to take its place, and I just don't have the will to try to budge it.

I really don't know. I've got a lot of people I really value here, but it seems that most of them never post anymore, and I find myself wondering why I keep coming back. Shmeng used to stretch my mind, and now it mostly just stretches my patience.

Wok... even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time...

Wood... while that is true... that falls under idiot watching... and we have zoos for that... called the mall

Schizo: if it makes any difference I am working on severalposts...
