Aren't you aware that this is bitcointalk community, where everyone can talk what they feels about you, bitcoin or anything they feels about, don't be surprised that you may look so good in your own eyes and other's not seeing that, being a newbie onnthis forum, expect them to correct you, it may appears as an insult to you but you're taking note of those aspect to improve more better, every experienced members here today once was a newbie and they pass through the learning process, if i were you, i will appreciate them and take note on the exact message they are trying to pass across.

I've learnt one thing in life that when men throw stones at you, take time to gather them and use the stone to build a defensive wall round about you, i hope you also understand this and it's interpretation.

This discussion will be better on reputation, you can move the thread.

[hilariousandco]

They're just words and only you can let them effect or hurt you. Just ignore anything you deem offensive.

[Cantsay]

First move this thread to the reputation board.
If you're not ready to be critized by others then bitcointalk is not for you.

I have gone through SOKO-DEKE's post in that thread and I don't see any part of his reply where he called the post nonsense. The only thing there was him stating the obvious, it's never a good idea to invest for anyone no matter how close they are to you, it's always better to educate them on the issue and if they like the idea they can proceed not you getting involved in their investment what if the whole investment scheme doesn't go as planned what do you think will happen to you?

I think you need to reread that post and get a better understanding of his reply.

There's a post by LoyceV I read sometime ago that changed my mindset concerning some posts here in Bitcointalk.

If someone anonymous on the internet has the power to make you angry, you're doing something wrong and some time away is probably a good idea.

That link is to a topic, not to a post of SOKO-DEKE. You must share a link of that offensive post, not that topic.

You have two ways to get a link of SOKO-DEKE post:
- At the left side of that post, you will see #number, click on it and you will get a link.
- Click on his post, you will get a link at the browser.
Copy the link and share it in OP but it is not a big matter, you can move on.

The forum is free for speech and if you don't like someone, you can click on Ignore to ignore the user. Ignore and move on, it's simple.

I'm offended by people who are offended by words. Grow a thicker skin and enjoy freedom of speech, even for the people you disagree with.

Agreed. If I want to call someone an idiot or patronize them, usually it's for a good reason. I, as an internet user, have a right to do that.

Of course, if I am abusing my freedom then I deserve to be called out. However if someone is obviously being an imbecile, or deserving of some snap, then why not....or if opportunity for banter is there then why not too

It's the internet bro If you can't handle it, press the power button. Everyone has a right to talk however they would like to. If it's actually out of line, even according to a vast amount of other members, then I am sure the perpetrator will get called out or receive similar treatment (as the circle goes). Otherwise, don't worry about it...and definitely don't make threads about it

Some people bring their sensitivity here, we have to be good at ignoring and letting things pass, it's ok if people distrust you or say nasty things to you, don't make a big deal out of it take a breather

And by the way, I check SOKO-DEKE post and I'm surprised that there are no offending words there from my point of view.

The only part of the post which could be possibly be seen through someone's lens as being offensive in the slightest way is this:

in fact why should you even invest the money that did not belong you in bitcoin or even convince someone to invest in Bitcoin that you are not guarantee of what will happen in future ? I will say that is a bad idea. my advice to you is to teach your father about bitcoin so it can decide on his own whether is half or quarter of retirement funds he can afford to invest in Bitcoin.

which I personally do not consider to be offensive at all. In fact he is not making fun of you or saying mean words, he is just criticizing your action (and not you as a person).

Even if it still bothers you, you can just press the Ignore button to hide the post.

After reading the heading I was under the impression that profanity has been used in the reply or sarcasm was used. I did not find anything unusual in the reply still, OP was not okay with it. That is why I would ask @Edcrypto91 to please elaborate on the reason you feel offended by the reply of SOKO-DEKE. There is nothing anyone here could think of that makes you feel so bad unless you clear up our mind with a genuine reason for this topic.

They're just words and only you can let them effect or hurt you. Just ignore anything you deem offensive.

Does this include someone giving a death threat or wishing death of someone on the forum?

Are you theymos, Cyrus or Satoshi? who are you for forcing every user to not use offensive words? you can just click ignore on the profile, so you wouldn't read all of his post including in the future.

If people can't accept the fact not everyone will be nice, I feel sorry for them because the world is really full of evil and you can't survive if you don't have a good mental.

Does this include someone giving a death threat or wishing death of someone on the forum?

Nope, there's a rule about that. If you did it, your account might got temporary ban and negative feedback.

No. Threatening someone with violence or death is a crime and obviously crosses a line. Pretty much anything else is fine unless you're just trying to troll by being purposely disruptive.

Woah, hold on there! Are you saying that if someone thinks your viewpoint is nonsense, you take it offensive and as an insult? How else do you expect them to express their disagreement? Or are you suggesting that people should be silenced just because their opinion doesn't align with yours?

Besides, I took a closer look at the thread, and I couldn't find a single instance where SOKO-DEKE used offensive language. Are you sure you didn't mix something up?
(And hey, don't get me wrong here, I'm not trying to offend you or anything. )

What I can say to you buddy is that you should grow thicker skin of you plan to stay here for a longer period of time otherwise you will have a hard time here.

If you are looking for a safe place where no one can say anything bad to you without being punished by mods you definitely chose a wrong forum

[acroman08]

people should learn how to not get bothered by other people's words especially if they are spending time on the internet(not just here in the forum). the internet is full of people that will not agree with you, would insult you, etc... just for the sake of making you angry. there have been members post threads in the past talking about not letting other people say "offensive" stuff, but they have been told the same thing by almost everyone, grow a thicker skin, and don't let their words bother you so much.

[crwth]

If you disagree with someone and feel attacked, you probably have been affected by it or something and might be guilty. It's a common mechanism by guilty people and makes them "believe" that they are always right. Insecurity really will hurt you and make  you feel like you've being attacked.

That's his view about the post and that's not the general view of the members. I also observed that the newbie got a lot of merits from the post which means that the post makes a whole lot of sense. People will always view things from a different perspective and they also have the freedom and right to express themselves. This forum promotes freedom of speech which has helped members to express their views without intimidation.

In a group like this, there will always be disagreement which will most times lead to agreement and greater understanding. I have learned never to be offended by the words or thoughts of other members because everybody must not accept my views or post. This forum is far better than other forums in terms of the use of words because I hardly come across insulting words.

I feel like it hasn't been emphasized enough how bad it is to want to restrict other people's free speech and make them bend to your standards. Anyone doing that doesn't realize he can't have free speech without others having it too! If you start limiting free speech, everyone loses!
I strongly hate all the wining about free speech! People who complain about this really don't understand how important it is, and how completely subjective "offensive words" are!
Watch Rowan Atkinson on free speech. He explains it much better than I can.

This topic reminded me of Poetry, by TMAN. Enjoy!
