Topic: Why are so many people mean here?! lol - page 3. (Read 2220 times)

Sad to say but I really think "Newbies" and "Jr.Member's"  opinion aren't valued by most of the people here.
They forget that they too were newbie once  

Anyways there are 25k+ people on the forum.. Each one is unique and behaves unique in reaction to different posts(stimulus )  
You can use the "ignore" function if you find trolls or anyone who seems to be too "rude" for no good reason and it must go all good  

You have clearly never been part of a weed growing community/forum because if you had you would know that not 'any' internet forum is full of *&$%*. This place is awesome but 70% of the sig spammers and mentally ill spoil it. Just expect the worse of human kind here and you won't be upset. Thiefs, liars, greedy little men running around everywhere lol anyway i am out of here before a meany arrives to hurt my feelings.

I see scams/dishonesty everywhere.  I don't inherently trust people.  Some may say that is an issue to work on, but I rarely get scammed.

True. But there are people on this forum who are WISE and they're helpful and kind and they try to help the person who is not too knowledgeable in a nice way.

Than there are people who are WISE ASS and they're just too proud of their knowledge and feel everybody else is inferior to them.

But then again there also some trolls who just make stupid posts for no reason and they deserved to get bashed in the head.

@OP: If you find someone who is mean to you, just use the "Ignore" feature and his posts won't be visible to you.

People who knows too much dont like people who are just goofing around so whenever they see some "WEAK" post they jump on it and make you look bad. But that doesn't mean that they are jerking you around, it means you should keep learning your stuff...

We don't mean to be mean. We simply don't like all the typing that goes into this.

 

Could it be related to the scams and trolling that happen pretty much regularly nowadays? If you look at the forums as well as the entire Bitcoin community from its creation in 2008/2009 up until today, it's hard to deny that the atmosphere has devolved since the early days. When Satoshi first launched Bitcoin on the cryptography mailing list, the conversations there were very intelligent and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. Even in the early days of this forum in 2009-2010, people were still reasonably nice to each other. Back then, people traded their BTC using PayPal without fear that the other person would try to scam them. People used services without fear that the person behind them would run off with their coins.

Put a lot of people into an environment where greed is rewarded and one misplaced step can kill and of course this will affect people's interactions with one another in a negative way. An atmosphere that breeds distrust and animosity is definitely not conducive to a friendly, warm, and welcoming community.

Bitcoin's main enemy was once fiat currencies and the central banks which regulate and abuse their supply. Now our enemies are each other. Bitcoiners vs. Bitcoiners.

For 99% of people, Bitcoin isn't an interesting technological or even ideological experiment anymore. For them, Bitcoin is just another ticket out of the hell we call life.

Because it's not a forum made fun but money. Everyone is grumpy on finance forums, just like they are in real life.

It is just the way people are. Some of them are really nice, some are grumpy and we have some serious squad of trolls here. Nothing is out of ordinary here, if you log to any internet forum or youtube comment section, you can see that it is quite normal that here are constant war between people. Just don't worry about stupid and angry comments and you will be fine Op!

Hi. Serious question. I'm new to this forums and new to a few coins I'm looking into, but not new to bitcoin. Any time I make posts or comments, someone always has something really pessimistic or rude or judgmental to say. Just doesn't seem friendly to new people or those who think outside the box. How come?
