I am not going to name names here, but I have noticed quite a bit of rudeness on the forum lately. For instance when one member inquired for help with their computer, they absolutely shot down every suggestion and then told those who tried to help they were stupid. If you need help, this is certainly not the best way to go about it - this goes for anyone on the forum.
All I am going to say is, let's start using a bit more politeness and courtesy please. I understand a lot of us are stressed out with school finals and summer vacation being right around the corner, but it's no excuse for rudeness. If you're feeling stressed out and find yourself getting into a lot of arguments with other AD.com members, then it may be a sign that you need a break from AD to cool off and recharge your batteries so to speak. As much as we all love AD, its still possible to get burned out a bit, and its OK, but don't take your frustration out on others.
Thank-you,
Dixie
Dixie and everyone else -
Please stop saying that I shot down everyone's suggestions regarding the digital ID. That is not true. I said that because I have ALREADY tried those suggestions BEFORE I even came to AD to ask for some assistance in this. I wanted something that actually would work. People also kept giving me totally useless suggestions. That makes me frustrated. Then the mods banned me - I guess they don't care for people serving in the MILITARY. You all obviously have NO respect for people serving in the MILITARY! My sister is in the NAVY! Have some respect for her and help me figure out how to get my digital ID so that I can talk to my sister, please. If you want me to be able to stay in touch with my sister, help m. If you want me to lose touch with my sister and lose her again for years at a time again, then say nothing, because you obviously have no empathy. If you don't want to help me at all, just say so, instead of suggesting things that are totally useless and totally unrelated to digital IDs. DO NOT SAY I SHOT DOWN SUGGESTIONS EVER AGAIN.
AND...DO NOT EVER TELL ME TO CALM DOWN OR TO COOL OFF. Why? Because saying that to me makes me even more pissed off. If you want me to calm down say something else instead of telling me to calm down. Telling me to calm down, it means that you just want me to shut up. I will not shut up for anybody.
As for my rudeness, too bad. I will be rude if I don't like how people are treating me, if they do something to me or stuff like that. I grew up being treated like uber-utter shit. I've decided to stop taking their shit, and that is why I am rude. I've talked about my childhood here on AD but what I have, you still don't even half of what happened. That's the surface shit. I have more that I could say but it would get darker, darker, and ever darker and very scary. That is the stuff I cannot talk about here in AD. You would have nightmares if you knew what happened to both me and my sister. I and my sister have decided not to take shit from anyone anymore. We are done.
I know that NONE of you on AD likes me at all, I am not dumb. I've been never liked, and I don't care. That's fine. I don't care. I stopped trying to conform to society just so people would like me, because all it was doing was destroying me and my self esteem. So I am just going to be me, even if it means I am a rude person. Either put up with me or don't say anything. I don't change for other people. I refuse to change - I am myself. If I ever change, it will only be for ME, not for any of YOU or any other people. I do not conform to what other people wants me to do. If you don't like what I have to say, then step on out. I am here to stay. I know I will never be popular, and that is totally fine. I tried so hard to be popular in high school and all it did was kill my self esteem, I have found that I am happier just the way I am now, even if it means being rude. I have totally no need nor want to be popular anyway - those popular people are nothing but shallow people. I have the right to be a rude person here in the USA.
Oh, BTW...I regret nothing and have nothing to apologize for. I no longer apologize nor regret my actions because to do so will only bring me down to a lower position than where I am at. I've done nothing wrong. I don't how I was wrong in asking for help with the digital ID thing, anyway.
