They're just words and only you can let them effect or hurt you. Just ignore anything you deem offensive.

OP just let it go mate. It’s your lucky day you have not seen the worst when there was ex club who was eventually exposed as scammer was very active in bullying everyone on the forum. In fact they would bullied your current thread in no time along with other users. LOLZ

I ma laughing with the imagination that what would have really happened if that was present here. I am sure what you talking is correct but it’s just mild version of bullying (May be micro!!). So just let it go. Everyone has a freedom to talk anything and respond anything. Just keep posting and focus on better replies.

Every person is right in his own opinion so do not use offensive words on others who make a post but rather convince them to understanding why their opinion is wrong

Everyone is responsible for what they say, not what you entirely understand.
You drop a post that represents entirely how you view things; it's left for me to see it from your point of view, or I see it the other way around, but that should not make you feel less of a human. In this forum, we all have freedom of speech, and the only thing that I see the forum being against is a direct threat to one's life.

I could also remember some few post by other members including myself which was heavily criticized but I didn't take as an insult rather I took to my own advantage and adjust my way of replying for cases that I deem wrong by me and other which weren't important I just snubbed.

A little ignorance can go a long way.

In fact, it will be a criticism that will improve our future posts. Just being criticized like that or said as a bullshit thread is already offensive.
Even though it's still not much, I even got a direct reply via PM saying that the person concerned did not accept my comment because it offended several parties and I also realized that it was wrong and started to improve myself because of that mistake.

And now if someone is offended just because of a thread that is considered nonsense, then they need to raise their level of patience.
There will be many more hurtful but useful comments.

There are quite a few threads similar to the one described by the OP, because some of them are made up and didn't really happen.

The most important thing is that it does not violate the forum rules, is not racist, and does not directly attack the person.

If you're not ready to be critized by others then bitcointalk is not for you.

I have gone through SOKO-DEKE's post in that thread and I don't see any part of his reply where he called the post nonsense. The only thing there was him stating the obvious, it's never a good idea to invest for anyone no matter how close they are to you, it's always better to educate them on the issue and if they like the idea they can proceed not you getting involved in their investment what if the whole investment scheme doesn't go as planned what do you think will happen to you?

I think you need to reread that post and get a better understanding of his reply.

Well I don't know why people easily get offended by replies on their thread or post but c'mon its the fucking internet for God sake and anyone and everyone has its own opinion, its now left for you to look take it to your own advantage. I could also remember some few post by other members including myself which was heavily criticized but I didn't take as an insult rather I took to my own advantage and adjust my way of replying for cases that I deem wrong by me and other which weren't important I just snubbed.

Don't be offended by words - it's not nice when you're in this community. Freedom of speech is welcome - but certainly not about death threats and violence. You should know that - every account has Ignore user options, so maybe you need to include some users there especially anyone you think is bad.

Moreover, if the post makes no sense and is not relevant to the topic, you may be able to find another option - report it to moderator.

Well, I always try to be respectful around here, even with those I disagree with.
I personally do not mind if some people lose their cool and start insulting and using bad language around here, I do not enjoy it but it would be silly if we tried to achieve some level of false moral level by fooling ourselves that we have never lost our cool and patience in our lives.

Perhaps some people who join here do not notice that the approach moderators have for this place is to give as much freedom of speech as possible to users, and that means you wont get banned even if you personally offended or disgusted a moderator by letting them know your point of view.

That is something to keep in mind as positive of this community, in my opinion, specially when out there in this very same planet there are human beings like us who would likely be imprisoned for trying to express the same ideas, through rights we take for granted.

Let us be kind and remember we have right not to be.

in fact why should you even invest the money that did not belong you in bitcoin or even convince someone to invest in Bitcoin that you are not guarantee of what will happen in future ? I will say that is a bad idea. my advice to you is to teach your father about bitcoin so it can decide on his own whether is half or quarter of retirement funds he can afford to invest in Bitcoin.

Quote from: NotATether on June 13, 2023, 07:42:58 AM

which I personally do not consider to be offensive at all. In fact he is not making fun of you or saying mean words, he is just criticizing your action (and not you as a person).

Even if it still bothers you, you can just press the Ignore button to hide the post.

Perhaps I'm the only one who think that the OP has a personal problem with SOKO-DEKE. If anyone should be hurt by what SOKO-DEKE said, it should be the original poster of the thread. However, it surprises me to see another person starting a thread and accusing SOKO-DEKE of using an offensive word. The creator of the thread you just quoted is different from the Op of this thread. Why are you complaining when the person who started the topic didn't complain about SOKO-DEKE's comment? Most people are thinking Edcrypto91 created the thread which SOKO-DEKE made his comment, but the thread was created by Fuso.hp, so I don’t know why the OP is being pained by SOKO-DEKE comment.

To be honest, online forums have always been like this and not only limited to the bitcointalk forum, and the fact that everyone comes from different backgrounds and culture this kind of language isn't really frowned upon by everyone as its just one of those things...but to avoid being hurt by such best to develop some thick skin to be immune from such because next we shall hear is people advocating for cyberbullying rules to be enforced here which doesn't cut it especially that freedom is the prime factor here...

And of course not everyone will like this language here, but try to pretend as if you did not see it so that it doesn't get to you! Happy BCT chatting:)

We are not on the church or other place that is moderated for our words. It’s his opinion towards the subject. I don’t see any impolite on the word nonsense the post is really nonsense on his perspective.

Words is not moderated since this is a public community. Everyone is free to express their feelings as long as it follows the forum guidelines for the forum. You can read the forum guidelines here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unofficial-list-of-official-bitcointalkorg-rules-guidelines-faq-703657 . You will encounter more aggressive words like that in the future once you engage a discussion or argument to an aggressive user here. Grow a thicker skin or use the ignore button if you can’t handle it.

I feel like it hasn't been emphasized enough how bad it is to want to restrict other people's free speech and make them bend to your standards. Anyone doing that doesn't realize he can't have free speech without others having it too! If you start limiting free speech, everyone loses!
I strongly hate all the wining about free speech! People who complain about this really don't understand how important it is, and how completely subjective "offensive words" are!
Watch Rowan Atkinson on free speech. He explains it much better than I can.

This topic reminded me of Poetry, by TMAN. Enjoy!

That's his view about the post and that's not the general view of the members. I also observed that the newbie got a lot of merits from the post which means that the post makes a whole lot of sense. People will always view things from a different perspective and they also have the freedom and right to express themselves. This forum promotes freedom of speech which has helped members to express their views without intimidation.

In a group like this, there will always be disagreement which will most times lead to agreement and greater understanding. I have learned never to be offended by the words or thoughts of other members because everybody must not accept my views or post. This forum is far better than other forums in terms of the use of words because I hardly come across insulting words.

If you disagree with someone and feel attacked, you probably have been affected by it or something and might be guilty. It's a common mechanism by guilty people and makes them "believe" that they are always right. Insecurity really will hurt you and make you feel like you've being attacked.

people should learn how to not get bothered by other people's words especially if they are spending time on the internet(not just here in the forum). the internet is full of people that will not agree with you, would insult you, etc... just for the sake of making you angry. there have been members post threads in the past talking about not letting other people say "offensive" stuff, but they have been told the same thing by almost everyone, grow a thicker skin, and don't let their words bother you so much.

What I can say to you buddy is that you should grow thicker skin of you plan to stay here for a longer period of time otherwise you will have a hard time here.

If you are looking for a safe place where no one can say anything bad to you without being punished by mods you definitely chose a wrong forum

Woah, hold on there! Are you saying that if someone thinks your viewpoint is nonsense, you take it offensive and as an insult? How else do you expect them to express their disagreement? Or are you suggesting that people should be silenced just because their opinion doesn't align with yours?

Besides, I took a closer look at the thread, and I couldn't find a single instance where SOKO-DEKE used offensive language. Are you sure you didn't mix something up?

Does this include someone giving a death threat or wishing death of someone on the forum?

No. Threatening someone with violence or death is a crime and obviously crosses a line. Pretty much anything else is fine unless you're just trying to troll by being purposely disruptive.

Are you theymos, Cyrus or Satoshi? who are you for forcing every user to not use offensive words? you can just click ignore on the profile, so you wouldn't read all of his post including in the future.

If people can't accept the fact not everyone will be nice, I feel sorry for them because the world is really full of evil and you can't survive if you don't have a good mental.

Nope, there's a rule about that. If you did it, your account might got temporary ban and negative feedback.
