@DK: Hee. You have no idea how many times I re-read that particular part. Especially how Riiko replied "Really? YAY!" <-- That "yay" part made me "WTF? She really belief that!?"

But sometimes it's just totally stupid. Usually I don't begin to whine until they start it. I used to get seriously written PM's and everything. Like...waste time on something better.

Its my job to keep the peace throughout betalings :3 Plus it is just polite to not bring up hot button issues in regular conversation. ^^ especially on the internet where everyone has an opinion, and they WILL state it. lol im just preventing drama before it happens. :3

I try my best not to offend anyone, ever.

Sometimes I accidentally do, though, because for some reason everyone reads whatever I write as mean/sarcastic/rude if I don't include an emoticon of some kind.

I never strike first at least. >A> But if someone does strike at me I will defend myself no matter what. And I have gotten so much shit becuase of that. I always end up being the bad guy...

@Jonjon: That seems to always happen and the cause of flaming/arguments. Internet are cruel. Unless you use emoticons, people can take your words the wrong way. Ugh. ^^"

Edit: Ignore the "can". To me, it's almost "always".

I find it best just never to strike. If I can remain unbiased and neutral in arguments, I can better keep the peace.

i know right XD my emoticons are my friends ^^ [as i use them in every sentance .... that and lol i say that far too much]

@hermies that is a good way to go about things ^^ [also neutral about most things]

I have a very anti-confrontational personality. I'm actually a pacifist in real life, I try my best to avoid any violence or offensive behavior. It translates onto the Internet, of course, because that's just the way I am.

Plus, really, arguments on the internet? I have sooooo many better ways to spend my time than getting stressed out over something someone said on the internet. xD;;

@Fic: Yep. But then when I start using emoticons too much, I start hating it. (._.) <--- So I switched to this instead. XD

Edit: @Jonjon: Yes. Arguments over the internet. Which seems like a waste of time, but it's fun to read. Seeing how they never get things done and ended up with a ban hammer all the time.

Well I have been bullied all my school time so I am always ready with my fists for the least negative comment I get. <_<; Can't help it...hahaha Even then people where talking to someone else I'll sometimes think it was meant for me. Dx

@Sen: Stress, huh. I understand that feeling. But then because of bully, I minimize to a limit of when I use my fist rather than mouth. Most of the time, I snap back with smart mouthing. More fun to me that way. *evil*

Well, I mean, I grew up with violence in my peers, and constantly having to fight, physically and verbally. I know how to, and I'm darned good at it, but I prefer not to.

If you try to prove one side right and one wrong, that is a mindset of war. In peace, there must be a middle ground, a gray area.

@Senyoru:

I was bullied in school, but apparently I developed the opposite way you did. I just learned to take it and ignore it, for the most part. I mean, I cried like, every night of middle school (and sometimes, if it was a really awful day, I actually cried during school but it was sort of cathartic and they got bored of making fun of the sobbing girl after a while so whatevs) but I knew that I punched like a girl and a fought like a girl so me trying to get into a fight was just going to get me into trouble with the teachers and the school, plus I'd get my ass kicked. Wasn't worth it in my case.

Talking never worked for me so when I eventually told a kid I'd rip his head off he finally left me alone. =u=; ...Yeah...

I was never that intimidating to people...until I got into some serious brawls, and my friends turned me into a legend. THEN I was intimidating. XD
