Can't We All Just Get Along?

I'm not going to say anything more as I feel this whole topic is ridiculous and everyone is acting extremely arrogant and shouting down at everyone to listen to them, which is rather ironic, and yes, I also feel you're all trying to force your opinions down my throat, which nobody likes.

This topic's just asking for a flame war as well, which only further makes me not want to say more.

Then why are you saying anything? Complaining about a topic where nobody has insulted anyone yet is not built for flaming until someone makes a big scene and has to tell everyone that they are not responding, maybe in future you could just leave the topic and not make a big song and dance about it?

Just an idea for the future.

Nicely put, Roxas.

Seems to me, Cobalt, that you're the only one looking for a fight. Please seek one elsewhere; eveyone on this topic (from what I can see) is being calm and rational; no one is talking down to you, and no one wants to start a flame war. It's a light debate, if anything.

Also, if you truley don't want to say anything...then don't say anything.

Anyway, in response to this:

Roxas wrote:

And Cogitor, I think what she was trying to say was that inexpereinced members are usually the ones who have been put out as examples, such as the comment about being a wolf hunter, yes you can say it, but it's like going into Germany when Nazi's were in power and start ranting about how great the Jews are, it's going to end in people either ignoring you or doing something worse and then the person who commented originally about being a "wolf hunter" starts complaining about not being excepted into this community when we are a community about wolves. People can speak their mind, but don't expect for people to even listen to them.

Aside form the Nazi thing, I agree completely (it makes sense, don't get me wrong, but I'm Jewish...any mention of Nazis makes me nervous).

But, yes. Being a wolf hunter in a community where wolves are loved and respected is a sad mistake. Very few people are going to agree with that sickening practice; and, since you feel you have the freedom to hunt wolves (which is illegal, by the way), we have the right of free speech to say how disgusting, putrid and vile we think it is.

The point: It goes both ways, as Roxas said. Just like the ever popular TLK vs. Balto debate. TLK fans can complain all they want about there not being enough TLK related themes on this site, but in return, they have to sit through the Balto fans telling them that Balto is also a great character/film and that the TLK fans need to either be more opened minded or leave. Both sides need to be heard; but it's not a requirment to agree one way or the other. That's where your own MATURE opinion comes in.

In agreement with Drawolf, this is a public forum where everyone can see how you act and react. Have some respect for yourself and others around you. There's no reason to act in such a childish manner over something silly. :wink:

In my opinion there will always be fights here, no way to stop them. There will always be that one A hole that will start something. Then its like a chain reaction there friends will try to back them up and BAm! you got a war. And of course the next time they get on Balto Source there enemys, and the whole fight starts all over again.

Now if you take everybody from Balto Source you will see fights everywhere its a shame though how they fight. Over imature stuff, but jeez you know when you try to stop the fight, theres that one person that just dosnt seem to quit. And of course they incourage it on, then you have all the mods upset and mad.

I couldn't agree more with you. Theres no way to stop fights, not even bans can stop fights.

What hypocrisy. I try and post my opinion, and oh, look! People are biting my head off!

Why can't we all get along? Well, do all cats and dogs get along? No. When a wild cat with no home and/or other available food source tries to eat a bird that's not getting along, but do you try and stop them? Yes, despite the fact that the cat is trying to survive. We're animals just like them. All animals have differing personalities, and because of these differences, what do you know, we don't get along. Nobody is always going to get along, and that's just nature, that's the way it is. The very least we can do is to try and respect other's opinions, yes, but we can't always be holding hands and skipping into the sunset with a rainbow above our heads because that's not what happens in life.

I think its most likly not everybody on this site will get along, theres always that person with a grudge. But people holycow grow up and be mature, balto source never used to be this big flame war site. It was more like a family, we got along. Try to control yourself, if your getting upset at a person, dont just start typing and dont think. Please take the time to really think about what your going to do next, because thats all how a war starts.

Try to get along with other people instead of arguing over little nicknaks, and childish things. We would all apreshiate it, and we would make balto Source a more better place for everyone.
But you know a lot of other people have made this speech, so what difference does it make when i say it?

Well...let me tell you all. Everyday, many users can sometime get in a bad mood at work, some get real crazy and lonely.
But, when they're in the forum....most of them will just flame at someone else.

So...to be honest with you all.

1.] I'm a happy guy who hates to argue, fight, and heavy flame [small flamming is ok...]
2.] I'm really heart - broken that users never respect the mod or admin. Ofcourse...I work everyday beside my boss, and, we get along great!

P.S. Its from my working place.

3.] Why do people want to start electronic war???
Because, they think that they are greater than everybody else!
For me...I'm just a regular guy, who loves to chat and make good neighbours within the virtual world!
Although, why do most users want to start battling each other...like a bunch of rinos...out of control???

4.] I love suggestions and opinion from other users. But, some just flame me like mad!
Well...I don't know what he / she wants...but, all I could say..."Look in the mirror and sort yourself out before hurting other user's feelings!"

------------------------

End....

Well theres just some people who are just so arrogant that they have to make hatefull comments to people who want to tell their opinions. And that gets me so pissed! :evil:

Amen.

The mods are not bad people. Nor are they mean. They are doing their job. DEAL WITH IT!

Personally, I don't give a poop how many fans are on Balto Source or Lion King Source.

We all have our opinion now don't we?

Well then you have your debate

User88- I would like to have a pet skunk...

User99- I disagree sorry;

User77- I don't you can put them threw surgery, get the stink removed and anything else.

User99- Yes, but that would seem a tad mean... To me anyways...

User88- Everyone has opinion...

Topic Locked

User8- I'm getting a wolf and I don't care what anyone thinks.

User9- Bad idea...

User8- I don't care what you think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

User7- I must agree, they could attack you...

User8- Well I take all its claws and teeth out.

User9- How's it supposed to eat?

User8- UGH! Forget it!!!!!!!! I'll get a puppy instead.

An argument. Obviously.....

So I seriously couldn't agree more!

C'mon people. If Cobalt wants to make a fight, why are we paying attention to him/her? Thats what they /want/ and if we don't pay any attention, they will eventually just stop.
