Making it Better: The future of WP

...I care very little for someone's intentions compared to their actions and the consequences that result from them. Personally, I couldn't care less if someone causes me harm with the best of intentions, they won't get a second chance to do it. Nor am I particularly fussed if someone ill-intended ends up doing me a favour. But most people don't think like this, I'm aware.

Fnord gets it.

No, he hasn't said anything of that nature in quite awhile.

I've learned to change my words and how I talk like I will now say "some people" or "most people" or "few people" or even mentioned what I have observed online regarding behaviors. But someone on here will still twist it and change it to "all" or something and still take offense.

Also, I don't think people should say "some" when it's pretty obvious what they are talking about such as "I have issues with feminism" and reading the OP it's pretty obvious he was talking about radical feminists who bash all men and express misandry. But some users still took offense to mean "all feminists."

I can't make everyone happy and someone out there will still think "oh League Girl is talking about me" and my comeback is 'You are not the only one who does that behavior' just so they know it's not about them. really, I can't imagine writing down usernames all over the internet and listing behaviors they do I don't like or have observed just so I can list all names from all over the internet to ensure someone here I am not talking about them when I make a post here.

Then we have members here believing "oh members here just change their words to veil their attacks so the mods won't notice."

And I am sitting here wondering, "how the heck do you do a personal attack without doing a personal attack?"

And I am too lazy to go back in this thread to even find user names that made these claims to list their names here so they won't feel I am being passive aggressive. To me it's even ridiculous to even do this. Though I remember Smudge and Kraftiekortie have mentioned saying they want it said to their face. I never had a problem with them though so I have nothing critical to say about them. Though Smudge has mistaken my tone once saying I was sly or something and another user here (who no longer comes here) said she has never seen me do something like that.

But anyway, I have realized people will always misinterpret your words and tone and people will get offended either way. We can't please everyone.

^BR: you're one of the most constructive posters here.

Some, most, lots, isn’t ok either, i was told using them would be in line with the rules, but even using them I still get reported and warned.

As is some of the bullying that occurs

Some of the bullying could only be illustrated within the specific total context of the bullying event.  In other words, the whole discussion sometimes must be dissected in order to "prove," in some measure, the bullying.

I think the issue was it was done like this

It’s real sly of them to do that. The bold seems to be a code
If was like it’s real fnord of them to do that. Pretty sure fnord would take it to be about him why else bold it?
