Too Real

[DJ Nocker]

Did you mean.........I'll say things however the fuck I please got it? Sure would be nice if people would pull their heads out of their asses and thought like me.

Is that what you meant? *this is just a parody post of course*

yea thats what I meant, but I have to pick and choose when to say what as certain mods dislike me and wait for me to go "over the edge"

I know when its pointless, is all.

Plus I know phee is intelligent, so calling him stupid wouldnt make sense to me, nor has he done anything that would make me personally want to call him stupid currently. If phee started smoking weed id call him a fucking idiot and tell him I hope he dies while driving stoned This is just something I dont really care about.

So....yea

ok, calling him a "fucking idiot" at that point seems borderline too blunt (although i follow it), but "i hope you die while driving stoned"!? that's not blunt, that's blatantly being an asshole, imo. how the hell is that just being blunt?

dude, get over your persecution complex. it has nothing to do with who you are, or whether anyone likes you or not, it's how you treat/talk to people on the board, and whether you're breaking the rules.

In my experience, people who feel the need to be "brutally" honest, and I am not referring to any specific person here, I've come across a number of them over the years, try to deflect all of their negative energy away from themselves and back onto others, at all costs. Even when someone tries to call them on being out of line, or asks why they feel the need to be so rude, they'll get super defensive and either try to turn in back on the person doing the questioning, play the victim (Why is everyone ganging up on me?)card, or change the subject. They seem to be afraid of admitting imperfections, or revealing anything about themselves that might make them seem weak or human.

This leads me to believe that those who feel the need to use brutal honesty in every situation are super insecure and using a pretty basic defense mechanism; they think if they put others down that no one will notice their own short comings. It's actually pretty sophomoric. Most of us do it as children. "Oh man, I can't believe my mom made me wear this stupid pink shirt with a clown on it. Everyone's gonna think I'm a loser. Hey look, Tommy got a really bad haircut. If I make fun of him, everyone else will too, and will think I'm funny and cool, and hopefully no one will notice this ugly shirt."

And, as others have already pointed out, when you're overly negative toward someone when stating your opinion, whatever you were trying to convey becomes an after-thought, as most people will focus on the tone and intent, rather than the actual factual content of your message.
