I agree with this sentiment. Since our comments are very restricted on the 100 Hour Board itself, I like to think of this as an extended comment forum. We are free to share our opinions without fear of having them rejected.wired wrote:I don't think many people come here to actually hate, I think they come to offer a different point of view. It's like being a writer without the minimum requirements.
I think that's a perfectly legit reason to bring a question here. I often play devil's advocate on things, for the simple purpose of exploring the other side of the argument. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. However, you are the only one who knows your intention. So depending on how you word it, it could be construed as hate. I think a great way to help prevent that is to write your thing here, then before you post it, stop and think, "If I had written that answer and someone posted this, would I see it as criticism or constructive criticism?"wired wrote:I enjoy coming here to discuss and debate people's answers. Usually, something that sparks my interest will be something I have an opposing viewpoint on. I want to explore the other side's reasoning or at least convey another line of reasoning to get a discussion on it started. If that constitutes "hate," then I'm a hater.
Hmm... that's interesting. I looked through those and I thought Locker Room Soap and Weird Fiance were a hate posts; others expressed disagreement with writers, but I thought did so in a way that clearly conveyed they were expressing a differing view, not trying to attack a writer's response.

Yes and no. You were defending Hypatia by attacking RP.TheAnswerIs42 wrote:Obviously I'm not answering wired's question - which I am curious about as well - but I was also curious why the leggings thread got chosen. I started that thread because I didn't like Rating Pending "attacking" Hypatia, whose answer I agreed with. Isn't that kinda the opposite of a hate post?
Which is probably telling for this entire topic. I would venture to say the majority of offenses or aggravations (including my own against Hypatia) are the result of monotone text. (This bolsters Katya's earlier post.)C is for wrote:I sincerely apologize for forgetting the sarcasm notation.
Yeah, I thought the Locker Room Soap one was way off the mark. I felt (and expressed) that CJ had a chip on his shoulder and I'm still pretty pissed that he accused me of lying. Yeah, it was a misunderstanding based on buildings, and he owned up to it, but I thought it was completely ridiculous that instead of saying "which building are you talking about? I have the illustrious and distinguished job of filling up soap in the women's locker rooms at the RB and I do it at midnight" he said "oh man, Dr. Smeed makes stuff up to make himself sound cool OH AND BY THE WAY I can't tell the Board about it because they are a top-secret cabal that backs each other up, right or wrong, and Dr. Smeed is a jerk and not accountable to anyone AND BY THE WAY AGAIN BYU has repeatedly told the Board to lighten up and they aren't doing it and whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"wired wrote:Hmm... that's interesting.

I'm not a writer though. Writers in question, did most or any of you feel attacked or otherwise hated by any of the above posts?
Actually, your "It was my kill. I beat you to the kill." comment today just made you one of my favorite writers ever (and I was already a fan). I literally LOLed.Dr. Smeed wrote:I know I'm not one of the beloved writers of the Board.
I had a professor that once told us to took 7 ups to make up for every 1 down. So any time you say something mean or hurtful to a person, you needed to tell them 7 nice things to bring them back to where they were before you talked to them.Craig Jessop wrote:Dr. Smeed,
Are you really still bitter about that? Because I took it back and publicly apologized, which is not something I find easy. Now you have specifically and personally attacked me WEEKS later. What more do you want from me?

As in, you're dealing with hurtful things being said to you? Or you're needing to balance offering criticism with offering praise as well?C is for wrote:This applies to my life so much right now.Dragon Lady wrote:I had a professor that once told us to took 7 ups to make up for every 1 down.

Heh, I had to do a search to find out at what point Hypatia had made the Mythbusters comment; turns out it was directed at me.vorpal blade wrote:Hypatia refers to this forum as the Board Hate Board. I love the Board. Do any of you hate the Board? Is Hypatia just poking at us all, again? What do you think? I realize this is not the subject of the question asked by "Not Adam Savage," but I'm curious about what everyone here thinks about this reference to this forum. And...how do you feel about someone having fun poking at you?Hypatia wrote:For those of you who don't read the Board Hate Board, I said the following in a rather hilarious and heated thread about...goodness, I still don't even know what the thread was about; I just know I had a lot of fun poking at Vorpal Blade, Tao, and Marduk:
