| Originally posted by tatgirl There's no rule that everyone who posts on TA has to get along and be friends, but until recent member growth, that IS how TA was. Many here remember the days (not that long ago) when everyone would rally around the shit disturber who was out to cause fights, and only endure them til they eventually got banned. Now, people here are praising the shit disturbers, and trying to get their own spotlight by becoming one too. There's a lot of new people on the board who are starting / jumping on the "I hate Dallastar" bandwagon, using some really cheap shots, and being blatantly rude and cruel to her face at times ( < the most shocking aspect- its one thing to be that way behind the monitor- I guess it shows consistency if u wanna be rude to her face- but it says a LOT about your character that you are that easily annoyed that you're willing to be cruel to their face as well, and resort to the basest of all insults: insulting her appearance/ weight. Seriously- how old are you people?? There's an ignore feature, people. Don't like what certain people have to say, or they annoy you? Put them on ignore, rather than try to ridicule them/ make fun of their appearance (the most childish response in the book)/ break their spirit/ start wars, etc... cuz you only make yourself look immature/ bitchy/ mean spirited/ cruel. Guys are notorious for calling people names, but girls should be more sensitive to peoples feelings (not like we as adults shouldn't be already). I find it extremely appalling when I see a woman out to beat another's spirit down and actually gain enjoyment from it, and there's plenty of that happening now. If that's the way you all want to portray yourselves to everyone, it says a lot about you. Dallas is a very thoughtful person in real life, and while u may not like her posts or postwhoring, for every person who's annoyed (or even hates) Dallas, there's 2 that love her, or have experienced her kindness, help and generosity. I'm not telling you all to be her friend, but people exhibiting this behavior should grow the F up. Lets go back to manners 101 folks- treat people the way you want to be treated, and if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all. That's my thought of the day. Have a nice one. -Nathalie "The TA Godmother" |

TA is a second family to me - how is appropriate to hate on family members?
And everyone gets annoyed with fam from time to time but no reason to be mean - especially in a public form like this one.
VIVA LA FAMILIA!
the person/s who this refers to probably a) won't read it and/or b) won't care because they are truly immature. the only way would be to public humiliate them and show their true colours.

| Originally posted by rabbitjoker I completely disagree with this attitude. This is a message board yes. What goes on here is conversation, discussion, discourse. Would people act in an inappropriate way (rude, terse, insulting) in a coffee shop (where conversation, discussion and discourse occurs)? No. Such behavior is not accept anywhere and certainly should not be discounted because it happens in an online meeting place (vs. an offline one). |

I love Dallas' annoying online persona! But if what was stated in this thread was true...then that's a new low... I've only been around here for a little bit over a year and it's changed so drastically. Who stole the PLUR!? Bastards.

even though it's JUST a message board, it's still composed of real people with their own thoughts and ideas. as a result, rules of normal social interactions apply. if you don't have the common courtesy to treat people with respect and consideration.. get the fock out.

The very fact that this thread has to exist is beyond comprehension.
this is not just a message board like any other. we pretty much all know each other in person and some of us have become like family.
this kind of public verbal massacre, no matter what beef you have with some person on here, is uncalled for and completely unacceptable.
it's been a long time coming before the TA Godmother had to set the record straight again. pathetic.
That people would be mean to someone like is being claimed here saddens me. It'd be one thing if this was an online only community but it isn't, many of you know each other personally. And even if you know her and still don't like her that's no excuse to publicly try to humiliate her by putting her down in front of everyone else. I'd expect that sort of behaviour on some of the paintball forums I go to, they're populated by mostly teenage boys, I thought this forum had more mature members.
whoa..20 hours away from the intraw3b and i missed all the drama
I think people equate small, sometimes humorous online jabs between people as genuine hate...there is a difference between some well timed, funny remarks and outright targeting of people to make them feel horrible about themselves.
