Family and Romance Sections: On Hurling Insults and Abuses Freely........ by MizMyColi(f): 10:22am On Aug 28, 2014

With permission from my diary, there are two thoughts I'd like to put to paper, screen maybe viz:

1.Power of affirming people
2.Being in-love and The decision to love.

Emphasis on Number One
My Thoughts:


I've always heard the cliché quote "Action speaks louder than voice".
But I'm convinced that action does not always speak louder than words.

Here’s an example:
“People are more likely to show forgiving behavior if they receive restitution (action), but they are more prone to report they have forgiven if they get an apology (words), according to new research.” - Research (Baylor University)

I’m usually piqued at the reality that people capitalize on the fact that this is a faceless forum and then begin to hurl very libellous and demeaning words at people on here, (I’m not referring to those in the politics section, I see it’s a culture there) people who for different reasons have decided to confide in strangers (That’s bravery) and in lieu of sound advice and words of encouragement, what that individual gets are words like: “Moronic F00l!” “Eediot!” “Wh0re!” “_Bastard!”…………..the list is endless.
What is more irksome is the fact that the lives of most of the people who use these words, judging by human standards are in no way better than those who have come to share their lives with us – strangers.

When people like me arise in their defense, they try to put us down by saying “This is nairaland, a faceless forum, don’t take anything on here too serious”.
Yes, I agree that one should not take life as a whole too serious, but then, for something I give any iota of my time to, albeit in this case, more of my time (like most of us), surely! Whether we admit or not, it is an important part of our lives. #NoShame We see it as an avenue to reach out to others and for others to reach out to us.

That said:
We’re prone to forget that while this is a faceless forum, it is actually run and participated in, by people with a face! People with emotions and feelings! People who desire friendship! PEOPLE!!!
We need to learn to give everyone grace.
That fact that I’ve developed a turtle shell to insults doesn’t mean the poster below or above me or even 20 spaces above has.
That you know what you know today doesn’t mean you and what you know should become an affront to others. You were once like them.
Starting today, I choose to walk in this consciousness that I carry Life and I carry Death in my tongue – in this context, it’ll be my hands………..
I’ve also chosen to walk in the understanding that what I give is what I get, if I give Life and its likes through my words, I get Life. If I give Death and its likes through my words, well undecided undecided undecided

Henceforth before I speak, I will THINK:

Is it Thoughtful
Is it Helpful
Is it Inspiring
Is it Necessary
Is it Kind

That said:

I am Mizmycoli: Life and Love is my Religion.

^^^ What's the meaning of that?
Re: Family and Romance Sections: On Hurling Insults and Abuses Freely........ by Soknown: 1:12pm On Aug 28, 2014
IT MIGHT.
You never know when someone may catch a dream from you.
You never know when a little word or something that you do may open up a window of the mind that seeks the light.
The way you live may not matter at all.... but you never know....It might.
And just in case it could be that another's life through you might possibly change for the better with a broader, brighter view.
It seems it might worth a try, at pointing the way to the right.
Of course it may not matter at all... But then again,.... IT MIGHT.

Oh, well, I should edit that part already.
Like I said earlier, I culled the OP from my diary.

To be continued means, I'll deal with Number 2.

I don't go around fire expecting not to sweat - Lil' Wayne. No matter what you preach, people will still cuss and abuse others on internet. It's inevitable, though I concur that the bullying and abuses should stop, I don't agree that Politics Section should be exempted (according to your post). People can still argue in Politics section without the abuses. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander.

My own motto is; insult/abuse me, and watch me shove truckload of abuses down your throat!! Nobody has the monopoly of insult(s), so if you dish it out to me, imma whoop your àss in ten folds with it!!

Even those in the politics sections wouldn't agree with you @TheEmboldened.

Y'see on NL when it comes to people who are advanced in age, they're particularly concentrated in that section.
I was speaking with one of them and he told me not to be bothered, that its a way for them to unwind. shocked

Now if they (veterans) that have gone before me see it as a way of life, and they obviously enjoy it, seeing as it's a "high" of sorts for them, who am I to object? cheesy

I'm particularly against people being that way in family and romance section.
I should edit the topic to reflect that.
