If someone's obnoxious enough to the point where you're aggravated, just tell them they're obnoxious.

If this is/was me, I'd like to know.

Maybe instead of a thread like this, it would be more effective to PM the certain teens you feel are rude/obnxious/stupid (& not group them all together), and politely tell them how you feel about their online conduct. I'm sure most people would be more willing to have a civilized conversation privately than feel like they're being critisized and judged.

Hooray for Liotte for changing the thread title!

I agree with Plum. Why is it okay for adults to start numerous stupid threads? It's not. It's just as obnoxious - in fact, even more so, as we'd hope they would know better.

And it's the ones who do that and yet judge others for the same offense who are the worst offenders of all.

Ok... whew. I was a little nervous because I fall right into the 14-17 age group...

Yes, I enjoy this title better as well. :)

Public announcements are always confusing.

RachLaura, some people get a kick out of having people PM them when they are being obnoxious. Why encourage them?

Love the title change.

I think it's just that there are many ego-centric people on the board (of all ages), and they think the banal thread doesn't apply to them. That's what gets me. Are YOUR matching socks more important than anyone else's? Or your pet rabbit? I can't think of the number of new threads that are started where I feel like just posting the Banal link to save everyone the grief.

Amen Tiff!

It was just a suggestion. I fall into the teen category and I know that if I was upsetting some people on the board I would rather have them talk to me about it than make a thread like this, one that I feel would provoke the stupid/obnoxious teens to be even more annoying. Then again, I guess you're right about the PM thing, it just seems as though it's less of an attack if the PM is genuine and polite. I'm just saying how I would act if someone PM'd me about my behavior, I would try to change how I posted. The last thing I would want is to tick anyone off...especially on this board

Tiff is right. And if you have a situation in your life that's important to you, and you want to post about it, either use the banal thread or, if you must start a thread, start one. ONE. You can update it, change the title if needed, as much as you want.

God, I sound like a bitch. I don't mean to, but since we're on this subject...

I think it was nice of Liotte to start this passive-aggressive thread instead of PMing people - now there's no hurt feelings, just a bunch of over-sensitive paranoid people who'll be wondering if she's referring to them, and *hopefully* will watch the banality they post in the future!

OMG!!!! lyk, weve gone three pages and lyk noone has said WICKED RULZ yet. Is that a BWW record?

[Plum]

Posted: 2/17/06 at 9:30pm

Well, there's people who don't realize what they're doing, and then there's trolls. And plenty of those, sadly, are adults.

In this day and age, I'd say it's more shocking that no one's mentioned RENT.

[liotte]

Posted: 2/17/06 at 9:31pm

Oh Jason. The title clearly states NO OBNOXIOUS STUPID PEOPLE ALLOWED. Take your wicked self to another thread or better yet, a wicked only message board.

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 2/17/06 at 9:31pm

I have already had one poor person PM me to ask if I was referring to them. I was not.

[Musical_nerd]

Posted: 2/17/06 at 9:32pm

Thread jack, but Atrias, I haven't spoken to you in ages.

[Kringas]

Posted: 2/17/06 at 9:33pm

I thought this was the Adults thread

You mean you haven't tackled me lately, Mary?
