Other Forum members are more civil than Legendary members, Why?

[Marykeller]

Legendary members being abusive in words or not(which I doubt they are), but one thing is for certain, they either want to correct the newbie for what they don't know or get wrong.

A newbie should not allow the words of legendary members to get to them, as this will negatively impact their stay on the forum and cause them to stray from their primary goal of learning about and gaining an understanding of cryptocurrency.

Since this is a public forum, everyone is free to express their opinions as long as they pass information that other ranked members or newbies will find understandable.

[dimonstration]

I have keenly noticed that, some members of the forum like the legendary members do not have good choice of words in expressing their thought , outside abusive choices of words or words that sounds like bullying.

The most abusive forum members as I have noticed are the legendary members. I noticed it in their replies to posts or contributions to posts.

Do we agree that it is a feeling of pride that they have superior knowledge on issues than others because of their ranking?

Not all but I definitely agree with you especially on users that is obviously spamming the forum with nonsense topics and comment.

You won’t blame them since they already encountered many problematic user. So it’s either you will grow a thick skin to just ignore them or let their words sink in to destroy your self confidence. Just improve along the way and don’t make their words control you. Most importantly improve yourself if the problem is you because they are just correcting you in their own negative harsh way.

We are now on the third page of this thread and Funke never returned to answer any of the questions that were asked here. He never offered any examples of the abuse and bullying he experienced or noticed that it was happening against other users. If you create a discussion, you usually come back to it and participate in the exchange of opinions. The way it looks now, OP isn't interested in that. So, did you start this thread just for the sake of starting a thread or what was the purpose?

What a load of bullshit, and the bad thing is that it's not crazy what the OP is saying, it's just commonly held beliefs. OP, read what happened with the Edict of Diocletian, which people throughout history have tended to forget and repeat.

In another way, governments should be the producers of some of these products , the distributor and retailer of these products in order to drag down the monopoly of the private hands.

Pure and hard Communism, that is, the political theory that the more it fails and the more millions of deaths it produces, the more popular it becomes. Leaving the means of production in state hands and taking them away from private initiative has had the same result, identical, in all the countries where it has been carried out: extreme poverty, famines, exodus, political-psychopathic repression and millions of dead.

This and many more are examples of insults and bullying by legendary members to express their point which they feel is better than the points of newbies. I never wanted to remember them , that was why I kept the thread going to see whether others have had the same experience. The thread was actually created for legendary members to also see what others are saying about their behavior then have a change of approach to public discussions. I know I am newbie, I am ready to learn but no through insults and bullying. Thank you for requesting for proof.

So my request that you post some proof or give examples how you are being bullied hurt your feelings? And due to that horrible state you are in, you are not capable of providing anything? My terrible "bullying" of you came after you created this thread, remember? That means that you should have older examples of terrible insults of me and others like me against you. I hope I am not hurting your feelings by stating that.

I have told OP countless of times about his posting styles that are always off topics, that it's not making much sense to be writing things that are meant to be posted in your social media handles that will be seen as likely a mere post than post it here in the forum.

Although we are mates or the same level he (op) would likely not listen to my advise. Clearly he has no prove of insults or bullying but from some comments in his post he most have experienced some kind of aggressive advises that sounds hash but only in his perspective while the reasons for such response is because he reluctantly refused to change his posting styles or area of posting but its all to point him to the right direction but he doesn't see it that way.

One thing I always advise my fellow newbies is before posting or publishing any content in the forum you most first consider the core purpose of the forum which is Bitcoin discussion and then before you can diversify your content but let it not leave without a true purpose of the forum by doing that you tend to create more interesting contents than off topics.

Funke grow a thicker skin! Focus more on Bitcoin related stuffs and learn. Use this link https://learnmeabitcoin.com/ and learn more about Bitcoin so you can change your posting styles, it's all for your good mate don't take things personal. Life is too short to argue some kind of shit!

It sounds to me that if you don't agree with Funke, have a different opinion, or point out how wrong they are, they will get offended, scream, and call you a bully. If that's the case, then it's their own insecurity that is the cause of the problems they believe exist. Several people have asked to see examples of unwarranted acts of aggression of legendary members against newbies and there still aren't any.

Let's say he (Op) is among the set of people who claims they really wants to learn whereas they are never interested in learning. In their subconscious state of mind they rejected corrections to them they have accepted it but their ego refuses them to let go of their wrongs.
The screaming is just a way of calling attention off what they did so that it's seems obvious that they know what they are saying. deep down they must have learnt from your correction but never accepts it in an open place inorder to get a stupid reputation.

I have created a thread some months ago in the B&H board trying to let newbies know about quoting wrongly in order to claim (knowledge) wise but most of them turn the advise down because maybe I'm a kid or a newbie too and they are mostly graduates in some courses but ignorant in other areas of life.

For people like you pmalek you tried your best to keep people in the right track but if they don't listen it's left for them you have done your part.

You post something that another member thinks is bullshit, so they say that. You both expressed your opinions. However you feel the other member is insulting and bullying you, even though they never said anything against your person, just disagreed with your opinion. You have an option to respond to their opinion but you choose to resort to fallacies (tone complaint etc) in a chickenshit roundabout way by creating a thread about non-existent bullying.

Why do you always have to bully others?

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Who else is noticing this attitude as a newbie or member?

It's very common for people this days to see correction as been arrogant or pride, rather than picking positive corrections while discarding the negative once, because on a public forum just as this, you can't expect everybody to be saints or civil on their means of reacting to issues that goes off the forum rules and regulations, because as a Newbie, it's very certain that those set of people are prone to making lots of mistake, of which you can't just expect everybody to be civil at all times when reacting to post or thread created on the forum. Hence, it's high time newbies get to understand that bitcointalk is a public space, and as such you don't expect everybody to feed you with milk and better, but be willing and able to withstand whatever pressure that may come your way in a civilized manner, because it's not easy to attain the rank of a Legendary member, hence, they deserves our respect, unless for a few who fails to respect themselves.

I blame my parents, the society, this forum and Satoshi in particular, because it's obviously everyone else's fault that I turned out this way.

[icalical]

Well, welcome to the real world, everyone has different standard of politeness, and you can't expect them to follow yours. People will be rude especially if you can not punch them in the face while they doing that. And about why higher-ranking tend to be rude and arrogant, I guess it's just the same, in this forum and in real-life people who think they have more knowledge and experiences tend to show more arrogance toward other who they think less than them. If you have been on the internet enough one or two words shouldn't hurt you, don't be weak.

Hehehehehe... 😂

You should've been here pre-2020 to observe what abusive comments were during the days of Lauda and other supremos. As a newbie you would've felt unworthy with any acerbic response of those ilks on your posts. It wasn't funny. What we've now is mild use of language when compared to that era. Their acerbic responses weren't unleashed on newbies alone. You could see such mudslinging among the legendary users too. Again, rude behaviour knows no class, age, clan etc. It cuts across. It's not a legendary thing alone that people here decide to be overtly imposing in their interactions with others. The only reason newbies don't display such supposed rudeness is because they fear high ranked members might gang up against them. They wait until they rank up to retaliate and the circle continues.

I do not totally blame them, this is because they have been here for so long. They therefore possess the ability to identify or differentiate a genuine newbie from an idiot. They have long ran out of patience and would immediately kick anyone trying to disrupt the ecosystem.

You've a strong point there!

They are most times emotional and personal in their contributions to issues of public concern.

This is lyrically wrong and I would have to disagree with you because because few could look insulting but do not generally mean that every legendary rank have the same characters. You will have to abolish this claim because it is untrue. Almost 70% of the legendary rank ha e the humility to advise and help each and every remaining ranks on how to deal with random situations.

For you to accuse every legendary members mean maybe you had been attacked before for something wrong and you think that they ought not to address you in that manners. Almost everyone in this forum had been address in an inappropriate manners not less than twice since when we have been here in the forum.

In approaching your answers towards the posts of legendary members, it's important to provide facts and not just "saying that this is what's happening" and it's not gonna be taken lightly and understood because there's no evidence.

Let me get this clear OP, you are baiting the Legendary members to post here and use that as the proof? That is the proof that you have? You incited it in the first place and provided zero evidence of what you are talking about and then said along the lines of "told you so" because of the replies.

[virasog]

I am also a Legendary Member, so do you feel me that I am also like the same as you are describing as Rude 

I would suggest that you name those members with proof else people like me can say the same thing about you that you are giving wrong feedback about us 

Legendary members being abusive in words or not(which I doubt they are), but one thing is for certain, they either want to correct the newbie for what they don't know or get wrong.

A newbie should not allow the words of legendary members to get to them, as this will negatively impact their stay on the forum and cause them to stray from their primary goal of learning about and gaining an understanding of cryptocurrency.

Some posters may be aggressive and abusive too (depends upon the conversation) but this has nothing to do with the rankings. Even a Newbie members are sometimes found to be "out of control". By the way, A Legendary Member was sometimes a Newbie too and ranked up. Personality does not change with ranking or does it?

[SatoPrincess]

@funke, from what I can see, Poker Player was not insulting your person in that thread. He was addressing the article you gathered the information from. I hope you do not expect people to believe and accept everything you post here without questioning your opinion or having their own views.

I think all this sensitive behavior newbies claim to have is a facade. They desperately want to see cyber bullying where there isn’t. Probably it’s the only way they feel they can be seen and heard is to play victim of the system. 

[Cryptomultiplier]

Well, honestly, the rank of anyone member here is not commensurate with their knowledge disposal. Some high ranking members became so due to merits they received either from their known pals here or by any other means. Check the post count and quality of post that earned them the rank and one would see that many are just opportuned to have attained the rank.
Still, they have the right to scrutinize and criticize whatever content is being published here.

There's no need to be emotional or hold any grudge against a legendary member because this isn't a one on one conversation where faces would be looked at. Don't take any word or sentence or statement personal. Just try to be yourself despite the critics and that's how to attain the highest rank here.
No hate, only love and understanding.

[panganib999]

Thing is this forum's not an echo chamber, and I think that while Hero and Legendary members definitely start to show their attitude here, it's for the greater good of the forum altogether. Why?

Well, would you rather have people here who are nothing but Yesmen, those who would always agree with you or be polite to you whenever you make a massive mistake, or a polarizing opinion that would otherwise affect not only you but the forum itself, or would you rather have genuine people with real personalities who, while otherwise prickly, are true to themselves and to what they believe in? Personally I'd choose the latter as it gives this forum more life and ensures that it promotes true interactions and not ones made for the sake of farming merits. You get me my friend? And while I'm not saying we should tolerate some of these legendary members when they start going ballistic and shit, I say we shouldn't report people just because they don't agree with you.
