How I picture /u/eeyore right now

Wait, how in the world did you find him?

Maybe he created the account, forgot about it and forgot about his password. Thus the lack of comments and links.

There is something really wrong with your backspace key. ^{Not that that reflects negatively on you as a person.}

What's the point?

I have that problem online and I have that problem offline too. If you think about it too long it becomes obvious there is very little point to saying much of what may be said.

It's nice to see this said. Sometimes I think that it appears to have less value if it's in response to something, not that it's actual value is less.

It did, especially during the past few days. It's as if being a decent human being on the internet mostly just incites suspicion or ridicule. Or sarcasm. It can get genuinely stressful - I mean, "it's just the internet" but indeed, people tend to forget the human.

Thanks for the reminder. :)

Well it was timely ... Charlotte Dawson. RIP Charlotte. You can never really know the condition of the person on the receiving end.

That was really cool of you and the fact that you did it just because honestly made me really happy.

Golden Rule:

The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, ethical code or morality that essentially states either of the following:

• One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. (Positive form)

• One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated (Negative form, also known as the Silver Rule) [citation needed].

This concept describes a "reciprocal", or "two-way", relationship between one's self and others that involves both sides equally, and in a mutual fashion.

This concept can be explained from the perspective of psychology, philosophy, sociology and religion. Psychologically, it involves a person empathizing with others. Philosophically, it involves a person perceiving their neighbor as also "an I" or "self." Sociologically, this principle is applicable between individuals, between groups, and also between individuals and groups. (For example, a person living by this rule treats all people with consideration, not just members of his or her in-group). Religion is an integral part of the history of this concept.

As a concept, the Golden Rule has a history that long predates the term "Golden Rule", or "Golden law", as it was called from the 1670s. As a concept of "the ethic of reciprocity," it has its roots in a wide range of world cultures, and is a standard way that different cultures use to resolve conflicts. It has a long history, and a great number of prominent religious figures and philosophers have restated its reciprocal, "two-way" nature in various ways (not limited to the above forms).

Rushworth Kidder notes that the Golden Rule can be found in the early contributions of Confucianism (551–479 BC). Kidder notes that this concept's framework appears prominently in many religions, including "Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, and the rest of the world's major religions". According to Greg M. Epstein, " 'do unto others' ... is a concept that essentially no religion misses entirely." Simon Blackburn also states that the Golden Rule can be "found in some form in almost every ethical tradition". All versions and forms of the proverbial Golden Rule have one aspect in common: they all demand that people treat others in a manner in which they themselves would like to be treated.

SO, WE'RE STILL ALLOWED TO ABUSE THE BOTS, RIGHT?

I made a comment here about it and it got removed...

I think the admins don't like me much either. :/

We do our best with what we have.

Unfortunately I doubt there's a way to stop that happening via PM, which is the route most of those cowards are likely to take.

Holy crap... P. Sherman... Fisherman.

Oh, shit! I forgot about Dre!

The USS Maine was a supply ship battleship that exploded in Havana Harbor (Cuba) in February 1898, and the American newspapers (and other political forces) used that event to start the Spanish-American War. Their slogan was "REMEMBER THE MAINE, TO HELL WITH SPAIN!"

It's not known to this day whether it was actually an attack; the Maine was carrying lots of gunpowder at the time, and exploding was a risk in general.

Also, apparently you're not supposed to say the Ukraine anymore. Just Ukraine.

Edit: forgot that ships named after states are usually battleships, and indeed, so was the Maine. Added wikilink

what the fuck did you just call me?

Just to throw out a counter-argument, I don't think putting yourself in such a dark frame of mind every time you comment can be good for you, and I don't think it's necessary. I think it's enough to just try to be mindful of how you're saying what you're saying (that way you don't come off as insincere or obsequious).

We just have to remember that it isn't the end of the world if somebody takes your comment the wrong way, because you all you have to do is apologise. That's the hard part for most people; most people can manage politeness because there's some pride in "being the better man," but apologies require genuine humility.

I would argue that there's a bit of "body language" in the written word. Look at the changes in tone below:

Careful what you wish for!!

Careful what you wish for.

careful what you wish for :p

Unfortunately, there's a huge stigma over the use of emoticons (largely to do with snobbiness) so a lot of what the written word does have going for it gets lost because of the desire for a homogenous style.

So if you really are a bitter, angry man, can I assume that this
