@Oh Pry
I was pretty happy when you made this post, since the majority of your issues in developing on the boards have come from beliefs that multiple senior members have poured HOURS into attempting to helping you with. I thought perhaps you'd precisely identify your core issues, which in people's overall growth process is a super important step - and being able to do so willingly (rather than you posting about your epiphanies) is a strong skill to have.
Yet, here we have a storm of shit and toxic behavior brewing.
The only time that anyone I'm referencing has ever approached anything close to attacking you is when they either A) were just giving you some well deserved shit, with a laugh and a wink or B) you became extremely defensive and petty about their comments, and attacked them or acted condescending to them first.
What this post has turned into is "let Oh Pry comment on everyone's issues", rather than a conversational forum that has members being vulnerable and thereafter seeking guidance. My earlier post was both to suggest that people enact solutions THEMSELVES once they've identified an issue and to see if anyone had anything about my issues that might have been helpful, if they chose to comment. Posts like this can be beneficial because they show that everyone has their issues, none of us have it 100% figured out, and to put some real constructive criticism to work.
"English please" when
@Chrance made a fairly well articulated description about how there's somewhat of a paradox in that recognizing inherent hierarchies
mean that somewhere in there, everybody is inferior (among other things). So how is one supposed to simultaneously not take criticisms too hard or compare themselves to others, when out there are individuals that completely shit on everything you've worked hard to grown into? I'm somewhat of a perfectionist and I completely found value in what he said. I've thought about the very thing many times. Did you follow his post?
I can't believe any of the mods missed this,
"Look dude, know your place and cool the fuck off before you attack someone more senior. I talk to senior members who are struggling to build that process and I am talking of a problem relevant to most men out there. Now I don't even know your situation, whether you have a job, responsibilities, or who knows what, but I have seen you take shots at me and ignored them.
Rookie, listen up. Go out there and earn your success, get your lays, contribute value, have countless men thanking you through PM, and then (maybe) you can come talk about hire order shit.
Until then, sit the fuck down and be humble."
...but this is not at all acceptable behavior on the boards.
Consider this a public warning. Being condescending like this is not cool, man. And you completely contradict yourself by demanding he be humble when you lack an ounce of it and speak to your superiority. In regards to the original comment (calling you a KJ) this is not the first time someone has said this. If you're not a KJ then one thing you may want to consider doing is putting in some attempt to
not come off as a KJ. Just like some girls have resting bitch face but are actually sweethearts, it's easy to rub people the wrong way about shit.
Lastly, in forums like this,
it's pretty much common sense that no one ever NEEDS to listen to what anybody says. Just because someone has good shit to say, nobody is obligated to listen to them. That's why people provide suggestions, or ask questions when they give advice, like "have you ever considered that....? " instead of just sticking their face into a person's business and yelling at them to go do something because they're right and are the authority therefore everyone has to listen. Especially when talking about peoples
beliefs, it's an even more important time to choose proper phrasing around these subjects.
It's hard to get someone to change their mind, but it IS POSSIBLE with proper tact, consistent effort, and well-timed comments, and your overall growth on the boards is probably the biggest example of that! I would hope you can find resolve in that, but, you probably won't. Not my problem, so I'm not gonna get triggered if you don't listen.
Stop with the petty insults and the condescending tone. That's me telling you as a moderator, not as your friend.
