Re: The Reputation Hilarity/Insanity thread
For
this post.
It's referring to the white-text no doubt.
I strongly disagree with the idea that the idiocy of others gives you free reign to be an idiot yourself. I futher argue that even if this is the case, said idiocy should more appropriately be metted out to those who have earned it rather than a grou
First off, when I wrote that, I was venting, and not being entirely serious.
Second, I don't think you got that I was aiming the whole immaturity thing in particular towards people who acted the same way towards me. AKA, if you cheat on me, lie about it, then make excuses later on to try and make yourself look less shitty.... I will probably act immature and be a bit hostile towards you, in a childish manner.
I think that's within my rights. My definition of Civility only classifies general manners as one aspect of the word, and not the most important one either.
Where-as things such as honour, and preserving the well-being of the people around you by not being a complete fucking asshat, take up a LARGE and important part of civility in it's meaning. (In my mind, try taking this with a dash of salt)
So yes, as my small revenge against people who seriously offend me, I will insult them in a petty manner at the opportunities I get. As opposed to doing something edgey and spiteful in a more serious manner, such as getting violent, or causing serious emotional harm to said shitty people.
I say all of this, but depending on circumstances, and just how much self-control I have at any moment, I may get violent, or attempt at a more serious revenge depending on circumstances. I don't reckon myself to be a saint, or even a particularly good person, I just don't think I'm one of those people who do their absolute best to emulate and imitate a massive pile of crap.
So if somebody treats me like shit, no, I won't go out of my way to act childish to everybody in the nearby vicinity, which is what I think you took from my post, rather than my actual intended meaning.
