The Chainlink

Why is there so much negativity in this space?  Am I just totally out of touch with reality, or are the forum rules totally disregarded with unpleasant attacks being the norm?  It seems like no-one can get involved, or ask a question without a gang of trolls jumping in and hijacking the thread.

I feel like I am partially responsible because I haven't been doing this enough but we should all be emailing the moderator more often: report@thechainlink.org

The forum rules are very clearly posted and I feel like there is a group of posters whom should clearly be warned or booted due to their disagreeable style of discourse.

I feel like our community deserves better.

I LOVE this thread sooooooooo much it's ridic. OMG!

Rahm Emanuel is a HUGE jerk and that's Mayor Jerk to you buddy! :-)
I hope so. Now get in that locker nerd! :-)
Big Rahmtm, otherwise known as Mayor Rahm Blagodalyrezkobama, is now the anointed one of the city "organization." I'm so happy I didn't have to eat my hat after the election when I called this election months ago. I'm sure he is busy and didn't want to spend the extra effort with a silly run-off election because his victory looks "real enough" for most people to swallow it.

Whatayagonnado?

"Legacy" Voters helped push him over the top!
More importantly why is my damn brown line sitting for the third time? i hate the cta almost as much as the "happy thread" :-) craig ferguson congratulated Rahm on his victory even though his show is taped 6 hrs before the polls closed. he said "come on it's chicago i called a guy a week ago." His afent is also rahms bro :-)

Being thin-skinned I have dealt with people like the bullies on this forum for my whole life.  Why do I bitch about them?  Because I know that ignoring a bully is exactly what they want.  I know that bullying is a response to being scared and feeling that unless everybody else is scared that they might notice that there is something wrong with you. 

 

I like this site because it gives me an opportunity to show you how "thin skinned" I am in real life.  I can look at your events and visit.  I can meet you eye to eye and talk to you without the anonymity of this board.

 

I hope I can help you realize that you do not need to be afraid.  That you can be a nice person and that there are people out there who care, even though they don't know you and you have given them every reason to dislike you.

 

I'll be coming for you.  I will be hugging you.  I will be smiling at you and talking to you.  I will destroy your cruelty with my kindness.  I can't wait.

 

I am John Jensen and I believe that we can be better monkeys.  The Chainlink, the bicycling community, Chicago and the world deserve it.  You deserve it.  It'll feel goooooooooooooood.

 

XOXOXOXO

Only a true bully at heart would try to FORCE others to always give respect even where it wasn't due. Sometimes everyone needs to step back and realize that there is no right not to be offended by what others might sometimes say.  It's time to Human Up and come to the realization that your right not to be offended doesn't squash the rights of others to speak their minds.  Sure, it's nice to have a bit of decorum and social grace.  But that only goes so far and it is a simple fact that some people will be offended by just about anything no matter how hard one tries.    It is not the responsibility of people in a free society to walk on eggshells around the perpetually offended. 

 

The only way that such a world can be achieved is to lobotomize everyone -or fill the entire atmosphere with G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate.

Just when you thought a useless thread had died a much deserved death it creeps back. i'm gonna hug you soooooo hard you're gonna be uncomfortable. (hugging doug is the best cause it's just barely tolerated :-) it's riggin gorgeous out here by the way. lovin drivin the truck around. :-)
Because there's so much provocation?

Oh my God!!!!

This guy wants people to be nice!!!

What a bully!

He's provoking us!!!

Let's call him out!  We don't need anymore kindness or goodwill!

The world sucks so we have to be mean!!!

Doesn't he understand????

He is just gonna die if he ever really talks to a people!
