Your definition could mean something else. Your definition could mean a "good guy" with reference to my perspective. It makes little difference superficially, internally we are both getting at it. My definition of a nice guy = weak guy.
You can see I am slowly corrupted by Xev. I don't know about that. Some respond to flames some don't. There are couple posters who just totally ignores me when I confront them with rudeness. I am respected by some but still dispised by a few. I usually can still manage to redeem myself somehow. Man! You do learn quickly. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Personally I consider myself a very reasonable person, but niceness means making too much unnecessary compromise for me. I will stop being rude if rudeness is unreasonable at that particular moment. Niceness is definitely not a requirement for someone to be my good friend, or girl friend/spouse.
Sometimes I get that feeling too, but I just don't want to risk being wrong and hurting someone. Like with Brolly: you did get something moving, but only after you let go of the insults and described what you were trying to say. Wet1 said basicly the same thing without any rudeness. But I can understand what you say about the compromise. Hey, thanks for the link Joeman! So you had to go through all the Xev pm's, copy the link, paste it,... what a nice thing to do! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I understand your definitions. Still would like to upgrade the way 'nice person' sounds to you. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
That's true. It is an advantage often mentioned. You do grab the attention that way. (that's what my friend always says) He also says that way you really show that you care, cause you're willing to get upset about it. Dark side pulling...must....resist.... *lol*
YOU of all people, reasonable?! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! In your perspective, how reasonable is very reasonable? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Joeman: Keep in mind that's a poor explanation of the ubermensch. Let me explain further....... *Audience screams in horror and runs for the exits* Yep. Plus it does no good to be nice and ask politely. You will be fucked over by people who are NOT nice. Awww Joeman, you know you like it. A4Ever: You keep your hands off him! He's mine! Joeman regularly reads my private messages. He prints them out and sacrifices chickens to them. Maybe. I'm disliked by a lot of posters here, but they fear me too much to do anything. Mwahahahaa! *Raises an eyebrow* One can be extremely rude and yet very nice. Chosen: Joeman is quite reasonable, most of the time. Don't make me hurt you Chosen, we both know you'd like it.
No they don't! Lemme explain something though: I have lots of information about Nietzsche, including a link provided by Joeman. I am interested in what he means to people, not in a pure theoretic discussion. But hey, I don't want to force you into post 3001! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! (Have you scribbled some Arendt stuff yet?) Not necessarily. First: being nice does not mean lowering your guard. Second: even if guard is on low, there can still be elephant skin, followed by the use of two leggs to walk away. (or kick his ass) Dear lord, if you want me to eat this chicken, give no sign at all........ your will shall be done. Now that's interesting! If you have a lot of time, write an essay about that and send it to me! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! If your time is limited: could you explain how? If you two ever meet in real life, I don't want to be there... Chosen: I never hit women with their clothes on! Xev: then rip them of with your fangs!! *shiver* Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
A4Ever probably starts snoring and drooling. Yes your highness. Only most of the time? OUCH Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! That the same as my friend saying to me "You are not VERY gay." or "You are totally not gay..... usually." A4ever, There is a distinction between having conscience and being nice. A lot of nice people have no conscience or ethics. My actions are dictated by my conscience. With conscience in place, the rest of my action is based on practicality and efficiency. I am nice only if it is practical to be nice. Most of time it is totally practical to be nice. If it is more practical or more efficient to be rude, I would be rude. I am not always rude because it doesn't benefit me in the long run to be rude alll the time. Being rude all the time is illogical and impractical.
My great niceness often gets replaced by even greater viciousness... I am very nice most times, beause I am like that and I can often be very vicious/+cruel, which is also a part of me , when other people think that they can joke with me , because they think that I am nice:bugeye: 1- alright- come then, show your might , fall on me and bite my flesh , strive for my blood and seek my veins. I'll toss you away like hyenas in a wind. I see your fear...sweat leaving marks on your faces. trechourous beasts, you attack me from behind, and hack your rotten teeth in my unprotected back; and though these may be my final drops of blood, I tear your throat and you fall with me, in the pool of red floating life and 2- Where were you that night under the moonlit sky, I wanted to love and dance with your tears, but you were not near. What was I to think to find you away; were you a shadow or a dream of my passion, do you love or hate or simply forget - hurricane in my mind. If it was a day and I knew your name, I'd probably look to see you again, till I find my end or forget your smile and traces in my heart. But all is dark and stars are there- their light is filling up my soul; you are not here to recall your name, I love the stars and forget your tears.
I would consider the person's feelings. Do I need to make this point? Can I not live with some non or low sensical posts on the boards? But at least you get things done, even at the cost of people not liking you. You even have some direct results: Brolly stopped Kupo and his lasts posts are straight forward. You know, if I don't watch myself, I can start feeling sorry that unique nonsense is now destroyed. *slaps self* Wide awake now! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I do too. In the past I have been getting some PM's from some posters saying my rhetoric hurt their feelings. That is when my conscience kicks in. I usually know when to stop. However, an intelligence person always appreciate a genuine feedback. If I put down someone who is worthy of my respect, I would pick them backup again if I am given the opportunity. I don't care if I am not liked by some people, as long as they are people I do not care much for. You can't possible make everyone happy. I don't even try. When you try to please everyone, you will end up pleasing no one. In this case, I am disliked by Thor, Brolly and others who are on their side, but a few appreciated my effort to make him shut the hell up.
Only way to go. Hit hard enough, end it, truce, respect. True again. I noticed in many cases. Even Thor and Brolly will read carefully what you write next time. They know you say what you mean. They will somehow respect you, especially if you can put previous issues behind you: Hit hard enough, end it, truce, respect.
