Re: The rudeness of some ppl online

[Guest guest]

Bonnie,

It's not a question of manners for most folks like you described... it's simply

a lack of intelligence.

I consider this type of person someone who is not well educated and really

wouldn't know manners if it " struck them in the face " . No matter how you explain

yourself, they won't " get it " .

Relax and don't let them get to you. We need to feel sorry for them. For these

are the type of people who wind up on Jerry Springer talking about their love

affairs with their sister's husbands. Imagine only having that to look forward

too! Lol

I'm glad to be who I am and not one of them!

I do not mind at all in the least telling ppl I am an LP and about my

OI and stuff, but for god sakes have some manners and at least

say " Hi hello how are you " at 1st, the rudnessess.

I continued to tell this guy that maybe having some manners would

get him futher and how would he feel if I IM'd him and said 'Are you

an old fart? " he proceeded to call me a dumb little b****h and I

told him he was an ignoramus and seriouly needs how to learn how to

approach ppl.

Usually I do not asnwer ppl that are so rude, but some ppl need to

get a clue and I felt like giving him one.

I think bc ppl are online they think they can be rude or ask anything

to anyone. Never would he say that to me in person. Whatever happened

to manners????? This guy was a bit older and u'd think he'd have

some...guess not LOL

Man this guy sounds like a moron. If I got a random IM like that I just would

not say anything. Not going to get you or him anywhere, and by not talking it

will get to him more...some people will never learn no matter how many times you

try to teach them. On those idiots, I have just plain given up. You don't need

them anyway;)

I think people feel the computer is a shelter so they can say

whatever they want. There is one individual who does not like me

and goes after me on the computer, he didn't have the guts though to

say anything to me in person when he had the chance. To me that is

a pure coward. If you can't back up what you say, don't say it.

Everything I say I can back up on the computer, in person, in a

book. LOL Just ask the Bradfords (it wasn't that bad hehe). The

bottom line is if you have NOTHING nice to say about someone then

leave them alone, mind your own business, and deal with your own

life.

Now strangers on the net again its the whole I don't have to see

them in person thing, they have that shelter.

What bothers me most are random strangers in public. In Reno my

goodness! Where these people parentless growing up?? My parents

never taught me to go up to random strangers to ask them blunt

questions and interrupt their conversations. If I did I would have

been smacked. I have never felt more on display than I did then. I

had some young men want to take a pic of me and my friends and I

said No! and gave them the look of death. Sorry boys I am not no

side show act. If they would have taken the picture I would have

busted their camera.

Oh well I guess for the most part LP's are raised better than

alot of tall people I have had the pleasure of meeting.

Dear Bonnie and list,

I am writing this response to the list as well because there may be reason for

concern.

My daughter was IMing with friends one night and someone IMed her asking her if

she is a midget. My daughter said, " No, I am a DWARF or LP. " He asked if she

is a member of a support group for 'midgets'. He proceeded to ask how old she

is and she ANSWERED HIM! I entered her room as I frequently do when she is

on-line (this is exactly why). I saw the IM transmission and shut her computer

off after telling him that her mother is monitoring and that there would be no

more conversation. He hasn't IMed since (I am trusting that she is being

truthful) so he apparently did not like the idea that a parent was watching.

BE CAREFUL! There is some weirdo out there who apparently has no reason to be

trying to talk to LPs except to harrass or possibly harm.
