User blog:Birdpaw/As An awesome person once said...

As the title says, an awesome person once said "We've all made mistakes, guys. We've all learned lessons here, I think. It's inevitable. Everyone here has a different past, a different culture... for those of us that live in the same country, we have different customs within our different areas.."

Forest, if you ever read this, I think you're a bloody genius, for yes, we have made lots of mistakes, and we all have feelings, sometimes people show them differently though..

Now, Forest, you also said that we are all children, which is true, we aren't actually legally adults until we're 18, or something.

So all of us are actually children, no matter if we're teenagers or not.

But that's not the point.

Since this is a rping wiki, not a writing wiki.

Now, in reality, both of these types of wikis are one of the same.

They both tell stories, except you rp a story, not write one.

But both of them have drama over certain things, and that's a thing, because things are things.

And guys, this is THE INTERNET.

There really is no exact need to get upset over a typed word, because like Forest said "In cyberspace, we state this in an even more basic manner: Remember the human.

When you communicate electronically, all you see is a computer screen. You don't have the opportunity to use facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice to communicate your meaning; words -- lonely written words -- are all you've got. And that goes for your correspondent as well.

When you're holding a conversation online -- whether it's an email exchange or a response to a discussion group posting -- it's easy to misinterpret your correspondent's meaning. And it's frighteningly easy to forget that your correspondent is a person with feelings more or less like your own.

It's ironic, really. Computer networks bring people together who'd otherwise never meet. But the impersonality of the medium changes that meeting to something less -- well, less personal. Humans exchanging email often behave the way some people behind the wheel of a car do: They curse at other drivers, make obscene gestures, and generally behave like savages. Most of them would never act that way at work or at home. But the interposition of the machine seems to make it acceptable.

The message of Netiquette is that it's not acceptable. Yes, use your network connections to express yourself freely, explore strange new worlds, and boldly go where you've never gone before. But remember the Prime Directive of Netiquette: Those are real people out there.

Would you say it to the person's face?"

I'm sure half of you wouldn't say it to the persons face, but maybe some of you will, but remember.. All of us have feelings.

ALL of us have problems, it's wether you want to listen to the people around you that counts.

The only time they won't listen to you, is the time you don't believe that they are really listening, when really, they kind of have to, they are staring at a computer screen, looking at the words written.

Forest is right about it though, it's easy to forget that the correspondant is a person, because the computer will never be that person.

So please, I'm not just talking about Vi or Feenie, I'm talking all about the people whoa re friends, fighting over really.. silly things.

Words on the internet are misinterpeted (Or however you spell) alot, so, we will react.

Guys, everyone on here is my friend, but really, in-fighting when each and every one of you is my friend greatly upsets me.

Please, if you're going to fight, please remember on how that might affect others around you, this is not school, this is not life. Where you can see the persons face and can see their faces

This is the internet, just a screen, at which we enjoy time, and know that you can have friends from all over, and not just at school, and know you can have friends, when maybe you're having trouble at school.

Now, I'm going to say this, you two are really tearing me apart, and it's stupid, it's the internet, the only reason it's upsetting me is because both of you are my friends, and great people to hang out with.

My drama teacher says personality clashes do happen, and its happening now, personality, no person is the same, but they do have feelings.

Now, I'm not yeling at any of you, I'm just stating a cold truth.

The internet can really.. REALLY.. Suck sometimes.

And yes Forest, if you read this, I think you're awesome for saying it, because it's true. :)

I'm your friend guys, I don't want to be your enemy, and I don't want to get torn apart if someone expects me to choose a side, I know what that's like, and I don't like it.

So please, for your other friends, try to listen to what I'm saying, and not taking it the wrong way, because we all listen, we all have problems of our own. It just comes to the matter if you believe people are listening.
