Why do you insult others?

[ʀᴇᴘᴛɪʟɪᴀɴ ʟɪᴠᴇꜱ ᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ]

People on this forum like to insult and insinuate things about others on here. Why? Does it make you feel big, tough, etc? Is it projection? I highly doubt you would say the things you say to users on here to their face IRL.

Because they got taught to be that way and never to learn nor develop:

I am generally quite nice, though sometimes I do snap a bit. Sorry to everyone I've snapped at! Sometimes I just have a bad day and get all cranky. <3

Age really have nothing to do with it, its respect others and how to handle yourself. If someone insult you, either you ignore it or insult back. It can be vary situations and moods, some just like to pick on others for fun or even testing you out.

Try to learn to reflect back to them. Most youngsters do have a hard time dealing with bullies, i been there due to hearing impaired when i was young.

all i can say is jealousy is a disease,
and these people are jealous..

[Stakanov]

I am very calm on the internet, IRL on the other hand I have already taken insolent people by the collar. I think that insulting people on the internet are often people who are frustrated with something in their life.

I don't think it is that important, on the contrary people should have more freedom when dialoguing on the internet.. Censorship is a subject that worries me much more.

It's all aimed fuelling my anger even more by showing me articles that make me hate the things I hate even more, it just builds up so much I can't help but go BOOM and blast all my rage at you on this forum. I'm sorry guys!

delete said apps, and get rid of the ad space on your desktop.
telling you social media is garbage for your mental health.

[GunsForBucks]

I don't remember making any derogatory reference to reptiles but if I did I apologize most profusely.

Please forgive me.

Simple really, anyone who fills their diaper over "woke", "DEI", and makes veiled and sometimes blatantly bigoted posts and comments, are worthy of getting roasted. I absolutely agree that no one, including myself, would be so confrontational in real life. I wish all parties would make these comments in the real world because they'd have no mods to cry to when their feelings are hurt.

Lmao do you really think you're roasting people on here?

and seeing all these stupid threads on OT doesn't raise your anger?

I don't bother with things here very often, but regarding the question, there SHOULD be consequences for the negative things you do.

Most people are cowards or anti-conflict. If everyone spoke their mind and put people in their places when they were doing things wrong, people would feel the sting a bit more, but generally it's just one guy brave enough to say something and the "idiot" will wave it off as that guy being the problem.

If everyone banded together the person would be more inclined to look at themselves.
