Have you ever PM'd someone out of anger on here? (1 Viewer)

[TheIronSheik]

What was the reason? Was it because someone made fun of your breakfast routine? Or something less?

BobbyLane sent me an angry PM because I made fun of his inability to read a question about whether you eat cereal or not. This seems normal, right?

 

[Zow]

Way back in the day I'm sure. There was some cat who decided it would be funny to make pictures depicting a very recent ex-gf of mine, and me, into some pretty graphic pornographic pictures. I pmed him asking him nicely to stop. He ignored me and continued. So I hit him with the Erie Doctrine.

OK, well that's a little different. I think PM'ing someone in that situation is fairly acceptable.

Strikes2k, before being banned, sent me a few angry pms. He always seemed obsessed with me. Here's an example:

I'm taking this offline. I would like you to explain whether you felt you were insulting when you said you imagined me "sitting in my basement" replying to you. If not, what did you mean? I found this to be extremely insulting and, absent a reasonable explanation for it, will continue to do so going forward. I'm giving you the opportunity to explain yourself in a way that is not insulting as a "benefit of the doubt" gesture but don't expect you to be able to do so. Also, for the record, any replies may be published publicly. I don't think you should be able to hide behind the anonymity of private messenger when explaining things like this.

If you PM something to someone because you are "angry", step away from the message board and take a look at your life.

This is a message board.

Surprisingly eloquent, really.

PM sent

 

[TheIronSheik]

BobbyLane tried to curse at me, but couldn't get around the language filter, so he misspelled it on purpose (I'm assuming) and it only made it 100x more hilarious.

 

[Zow]

:(

Stop fighting. Bobbylayne is really nice actually. So are you Sheik.

i pm'd you a heartfelt thank you for helping me with a grammer problem seven or eight years ago...does that count?

 

[jon_mx]

You can't spell PMS without PM.

 

[TheIronSheik]

:(

I didn't even know we were fighting. I think he got mad at me a while back without me knowing because he was seriously upset that I made a joke about his breakfast routine.

 

[jon_mx]

Bobby's been a little on edge since the Tigers four game losing streak.

It does seem to be a bit of an overreaction.

But I tend to agree with Woz. He's a nice guy from what I can tell, and this is likely embarrassing/humiliating.

Probably regrets PMing you. You bully.

 

[matttyl]

Yes I have, now.

This was kind of its purpose. I figured his overreaction was worthy of it.

 

[Harry Manback]

But to answer your question.

I usually get into the office around 8:30, fire up Google Chrome and load the following webpages:

Gmail, CNN, Facebook, :sj:, reddit and FBGs.

I don't often peruse FBGs but when I do, it's usually in the afternoon when I sometimes PM people in anger.

Normally I would say something smart here, but I've learned my lesson not to today.

saving PMs

You read that sad PM and your first thought was to laugh at tim for having kept it?

I have PMs in my inbox from five years ago. I'm not 'saving' them but I certainly don't feel any kind of compulsion to clean them out.

 

[Clifford]

Almost, once, when a certain poster posted things that would have immediately resulted in a physical fight if they were said to just about anyone's face, outside Jesus and Gandhi. Pulled back from the brink and did not send.

 

[hagmania]

Wow, that was slightly liberating.

No offense to any of the recipient parties.

So you think Jesus is a wuss?

 

[Clifford]

Depends on which Jesus. Modern GOP Prosperity-gospel Jesus would have broken out his AR-15, iced the offender, and then enacted strictly partisan legislation to establish imminent domain on his family home.

But old hippie Jesus would have let it slide.

So you're saying Iron Sheik isn't the Camaro, but he might be the pickup truck?

 

[Scoresman]

I have received threatening PMs, not just angry ones, never sent anything angry.

I hadn't PMed anybody in anger...until now! Damn you Sheik, check your Inbox.

Well played, Greg. Well played. :slowclap:

That's my bad. When I think about that Prius, my first reaction is to fire off threatening letters. I apologize. It was heat of the moment.

Surprisingly eloquent, really.

Perhaps, other than the awkward reference to replies being "published publicly" and the apparent inconsistency in admonishing someone, in a private message, that he can't hide behind the anonymity of a private message in responding to a private message.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying I'm on his side or anything. I just imagined an angry PM to be a lot more shooting from the hip rather than a well thought out, punctuated properly written letter.

 

[Despyzer]

Gram

Grammer

Grammest

 

[Despyzer]

I used to get into huge PM pissing contests with Fla\/\/ed. Whatever happened to that guy?

 

[Scoresman]

I feel like you're taking this place (and any other internet message board) way too seriously if you ever feel the need to PM someone out of anger.

 

[General Malaise]

:(

Kind of like this new grown-up, reasonable Woz.

 

[flysack]

I can't recall sending any, but I've gotten a few over the years.

Helltoupee sent me a real pissed off pm that amounted to "love it or leave it!" when I posted something about American imperialism.

I don't remember who else. Weirdos. Freaks. Men with high blood pressure and small packages.

 

[flysack]

Also I echo that bobbylayne is normally a nice, chill guy. He's not the type to send angry pms. The guy is probably having a bad week. Sweep that under the rug and move on.

Fair enough. I don't hold grudges against anyone. I've been on here for a quarter of my life (ouch) and honestly can only think of one or two people who I don't get along with.

 

[Arizona Ron]

Some PM me to say I'm a horrible father, they hope I get AIDS, my wife is just using me, I'm an idiot and for monetary loans.

Nothing major

Seriously? That's messed up. Also, I was just kidding about the AIDS thing.

 

[larch]

I have never received an angry PM, which doesn't surprise me. I am very well liked.

Wow, I'm genuinely surprised at that. That is some miserable judgmental ####. And clearly they're just jealous.

 

[NCCommish]

I've gotten a few in my time. I ignore them. Ultimate Browns Fan was one author iirc. Some of the other hard core conservative types and even some of my alleged allies. Been called a closet conservative. That's kind of an ugly thing to say.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Still waiting for Gilda to send me one

 

[Joe Summer]

When angry, no. When drunk, maybe.

 

[FlapJacks]

It has never even crossed my mind to do something like that....

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Never

 

[IvanKaramazov]

It's never entered my mind to do something like this. It's a message board, and I like most of the people here.

Edit: I've been kind of an ####### to people before, but always publicly. PMs just seem to be taking things too far.

 

[MC Gas Money]

Yes but later realized that person is a sad little man, even beneath me at my lowest points, and dont get angry anymore about it.

I dont get angry at insults, I get angry that there are people who can act that way anonymously. I get mad when they are mean to other people as well unless they are trolling an obvious troller.

Ive always been the type to stick up for people being bullied that cant stick up for themselves.
