I like to think I portray my personality correctly on here, but some may see me as being mildly strong when I can't even win a civilized debate with my mom.

But then the majority of people couldn't win either.
Sorry, but I disagree. When people are held accountable for their actions such at work, with friends, etc, they are more likely to hold back their innermost thoughts. How many people here would tell a coworkers spouse they'd really like to bang them? People might think it, but won't say it due to being held accountable for their actions. With anonymity, that's not a problem.I think people's true identity comes out with anonymity.
I think its best to take arguments on their own merits regardless of anonymity.
It neither strengthens nor weakens the argument.
If everybody knew each other on Rf then the comments would be so watered down that barely anything meaningful would be said.

Then my arguments will be strong and people might Wiki me into a prophet.
You haven’t seen mean. Not even close. The worst I’ve seen here is kittens and teddy bears compared to some other forums I’ve seen.You guys are so mean. Average. Sum divided by the count. I am leavening.
You seem pretty stable and normal to me. As for your mom, it's different with loved ones. A lot of history there. No need to confirm it, but I'm guessing you're under 30. If you are older, then you need to grow a spine with Mom.I like to think I portray my personality correctly on here, but some may see me as being mildly strong when I can't even win a civilized debate with my mom.

Me too. She's a hottie!Cool. I want to bang your co-workers wife.
Hey, you're right!
It's the strict moderation. Not complaining nor "discussing moderation". Just that it explains why it's more civil here than other forums.I agree. Rf is the most civil forum you will find. Oh well!
Okay, using some TA here: OP is in the GAMES/PICS/JOKES/STORIES thread, and clearly from the Child ego state, where most so far have either approached this from either their Adult or Parent ego states...the transactions are crossed and everyone is surprised that their games (Let's You and Him Fight, NIGYYSOB, etc.) are being treated as jokes...You seem pretty stable and normal to me.

Seriously, our parents will always be our parents, but at some point we have to stop being "children" and become adults, even in our parent's eyes. There are various models of this but one is Transactional Analysis which analyzes how we communicate with others.

A person might be a good adult business person and good leader but as soon as they are around their parent they revert to being a child. That's not how it should work. They should respect their parents and love them, but also talk with them like an adult. A friend.

If it had been posted anywhere but the joke forum, I'd agree with you on the OP. Agreed on the various reactions.Okay, using some TA here: OP is in the GAMES/PICS/JOKES/STORIES thread, and clearly from the Child ego state, where most so far have either approached this from either their Adult or Parent ego states...the transactions are crossed and everyone is surprised that their games (Let's You and Him Fight, NIGYYSOB, etc.) are being treated as jokes...
Agreed, which, IMO, reveals their anger and/or frustrations. It's an example of Displaced Aggression.Anonymity is a powerful thing to some people. I think they suffer from the internet Jekylle and Hyde syndrome lol. They can/want to purposely make people mad, run people down, etc with worrying about any repercussions.
Or science should work on a way we could punch a person through the internetYep, online anonymity should be banned

There are a few forums where all people do is scream insults at each other. It's not as fun as some might think. Kinda like being forced to watch a Trump interview.If that was possible then people wouldn't be honest anymore!
Instead of punching someone over the internet.
I just wish we had the freedom to speak our mind fully without worrying about cry babies trying to get people in trouble for hurting their fee fees.
See, now we are at an impasse because I too am tired of people and their fee fees, I just want to punch those people over the internet who ***** and moan about how their feeling are hurt because their think their "freedoms" are being imposed on when you want to punch them in the face for being a bunch of self-entitled little infants crying "Muh freedums!". Sometimes a person needs a good whack behind the head so that they may understand that it is not all about them.If that was possible then people wouldn't be honest anymore!
