A little naive yes. Stupid never.
I have never insulted someone's intelligence, I only question their information.
There is a large difference there. I was a kid once too, ya know..hard to believe..LOL.
Ignorance is not a negative term, I am ignorant of many things and will always be as it is impossible to be all knowing.
I find it pretty insulting that you would think by default that I find you all stupid. I wouldn't come here to talk with stupid people.
Also, where is the moderator on people insulting me? If I was saying half the stuff that others say to me I would be talked to. I refuse to be held to a double standard. Just because people don't like me doesn't mean they should talk to me in a manner that they would not want me talking to them in.
I have said nothing to you all, that I wouldn't have someone else to me.

erm,..i didn't justify the insulting that were done to you i thought it was way too far, actually, i thought my part but didn't wrote it.. i hate it when people make fun of another...
"There is a large difference there. "
when you write that under what you've wrote before it sounds like you wanna say "so, did you all little silly kids understand what i wrote?"
it sounds lecturing.
and you don't have to look up ev'ry word in the dictunary, just to prove you are right! you know perfectly well, i wasn't trying to say you were doubting our intelligence! stupid is a common word, not always directly meaning the intelligence...
erm, is it just me or did this thread get a little out of hand a loooooong time ago? hehe, geez, she has opinions, we hv opinions, n im yay slash, but theres no need 2 spit little fireballs in each others precccccious faces is there now?
i just posted my opinion and she needs to discuss it again! if she wants to it is ok with me! i love to justify my opinion, cuz i stand for it!
it really did get out of hand! *looL+ but i wanna know, how she is critizising us next, so... i have my points!

I think I'm just too used to talking with adults.
Most adults won't believe anything someone says unless there is sufficient evidence to support. Even the meaning of words.
I forgot that for younger people, it's opinions not facts that matters most. And you are only as good as your opinion, and if that opinion clashes with the majority opinion you are bad and wrong.
My friends think I am too honest for the internet, people don't reward honesty anymore.

I apologize if you have found that offensive, it isn't meant to be, but I'm sure you'll find something to be pissed off at me for in that.
I just have a hard time, when people resort to making fun of me, and putting me down, instead of talking about the issue at hand.
If anything it means that you have run out of reasonable arguments and have to try to hurt me to be better than me.
I don't think I'm better than anyone. I'm not trying to be better than anyone, I'm not putting my opinions up here to show off or something. I'm just trying to have debates and conversations.
hmm,.... didn't i say, that i think it is good that you wrote you're opinion!
and..er... you just insulted us... that we are kids who are not needing facts, that we are just basing our words on opinions... i think it is pretty dumb (yeah i used the word dumb and doubt with that your intelligence, in which you could see an insultion (is that a word insultion?)... *looL+ [that's funny, discussing with you]) that you use that for all of us...
and you're saying we are not able to reach an discussing standárt of an adult, obviously you think you are kind of..er... yeah "better" would make my point! and i just don't like people who think that way...
ugh..gotta go! sleeping1 good night! *looL+ ok for you in america that must seem pretty funny...
Hey insult me all you want. I didn't insult you until you accused me of liking child porn, and some other people of being paedophiles(same thing I know).
It's not double standards, if you hadn't noticed, you were the antoganist!
Ha! You do insult people's intelligence - maybe not directly but you do...

You are young!!!!!! You're only 21! And you are in college - you're not a adult in my opinion - you are a student. Just like anyone under 17 is a child...

*sigh*
I NEVER said that conversations with adults are more rewarding.
I NEVER said that children's opinions are invalid.
I NEVER implied that you are ALL children.
Because I pissed people off, I am not entitled to the same respect as everyone else? That is a the lamest thing I've ever heard. I am a member of this forum too, I should have the same rights and respect as everyone else. Just because people get mad at me and peoeple don't like me doesn't mean anything.
I have never once told someone that their opinion didn't matter or that they should shut up or go away.
I never accused you of LIKING child porn Trickster. What happend to you? We were having a civilized conversation one minute and the next you start making lists of why I'm a bad person? WTF? Also I have never insulted you on purpose. Alot of things I say aren't directed at the person who's post is directly above mine. Contrary to popular belief, I have a life and I can't sit in front of the fourm all day.
No crap I'm young! DUH! 21 isn't that old. But legally in all parts of the world, I am considered an adult regardless of your opinion. FYI. I am a student, but that doesn't change my status as an adult.
I didn't mean that young people don't care about facts, I just meant that if they made a list of their values, opinions would most likey be higher on the list than facts. Since I was being ridiculed for researching things,, I thought that that's how you guys felt about facts and evidence.
Also I NEVER referred to anyone as a pedophile.
Any comments about those type of people was a general comment not directed at any one person, and mostly rerferring to writers of slash with children having sex.
THE FAN FICTION where they are dating and being all cute with eachother is fan fiction. SLASH is when they have sex and that is what I am against.
There is a difference.
Now when you read this, get it out of your mind that I am some evil robot here to destroy you and make you unhappy, and realize that I am a PERSON, just like you and maybe you won't go all ape shit when you read this. I think the TONE that you imply that I use when I write is waaaaaaaay off base from how it actually is.
Now. If you want to know about me, so I am humanized and not treated like a some horrible beast for 5 minutes, I can post a pic and some information about myself. But if you think it'll just lead to more negative energy towards myself, I will refrain.

I apologize to Trickster for pointing out that he had attitude spelled incorrectly.
But he was using in reference to me having an attitude problem, so according to his statement that I deserve to be insulted because I was being an antagonist, then I am in the clear, because clearly that statement was meant to make me upset and insult me.
But my apology still stands as I don't abide by that rule.
I truly am sorry if I personally hurt anyone's feelings during the course of any of my forum posting.
I am trying to be a bigger person here, I want to know who has the capacity to join me and forgive.
I forgive all of you for the comments that you have said that have made me upset. You have upset me, I have feelings and am a person.
