Re: Am I an asshole? a thread

Fair point. I am pretty pretentious at times, and 98% of those times are during online interactions. I'm also way worse to anyone commenting anon than I am to named users.

Sometimes the troll response is disproportionate to what I've posted, though in light of the above I guess that's not a totally unreasonable reaction.

Do you care that you are pretentious? You don't really seem to. And honestly that's the biggest reason, I think, why you get on peoples' nerves so much.

Yeah. There's a certain exiled-aristocrat-wearily-condescending-to-the-proles attitude that he gets sometimes that really can be a bit much.

On the basis of the individual and personal interactions, yes, absolutely. IRL I keep it reigned in as hard as I can in an effort to fully take the sum of personal experience into account when I have occasion to correct or disagree with someone. That bleeds over to internet spaces where people have static usernames (like LJ in the old days) or other forms of accountable posting.

When it comes anonymous forums...no. Admittedly, it means I'm a jerk to some people who genuinely don't deserve it, but it's a wash when people are trolling constantly.

Re: Am I an asshole? a thread

That is...a very interesting philosophy. I guess.

I don't even know what to say at this point.

Re: Am I an asshole? a thread

[herpymcderp]

Well I personally know why I think that way; I've self-analyzed it to death over the years, and my opinion regarding caring about what strangers think isn't likely to change much.

Is it detrimental to online interactions? Maybe. I can't really be sure because as far as anonymous people go, I can't be sure if their motives are real. I have no frame of reference to compare things to.

It doesn't mean I'm purposefully treating people like shit, but it definitely means I occasionally ignore when people are being genuine.

tl;dr Oh well. Sorry to those people.

Re: Am I an asshole? a thread

There's not caring what people think about you (believe me, I understand that completely), and there's not caring if you are hurtful or rude to other people. Those are two different things.

I feel like you would probably benefit from a psychological screening.
