When I get that sudden urge to point that certain finger at my monitor, its time to log off, and just walk away, get a drink, take a walk, take a
shower.
What I find helps me, is when I do return, I reread everything that lead to me getting upset about. With written communication it's easy to misread,
or misunderstand what is being talked about.

I guess it's time to respond hehehe cos i'm allowed...
I am the same on here as i am in real life. I am fun loving and outgoing. But, i guess being who i am and having to deal with so many people on a
daily basis as a project manager and having a lot of money on the line most of the time, i tend to get my knickers in a knot at times and open my
mouth to change feet. Hell, it is getting better!
Speaking about knickers, can't wait to get home and rip my wifes knickers off - cos the elastic is KILLING me!!

Jerk off online, probably even more so offline. I wonder how I have friends in both. Wild.

I have been on forums and in chat rooms since the advent of them. I've always been the same person I am in real life, with the exception that perhaps
I am a bit more outgoing in a chat room than I am in real life. My
personality though, remains the same. I have never even tried to put on a "personna" of any sort- that just seems like too much work. 
Great topic, by the way, and it seems to apply as much today as it did when you started it, some time ago. I hope I can contribute something
worthwhile to your boards, as much as I enjoy reading them! 
Thanks for making things much easier on us newbies, I know for one, I appreciate everything you have done to help us find our way around this huge
site!! 
Peace!

The point of all this is...
The TAC (Terms and Conditions of use) specifically FORBID the insulting/name calling of a fellow member period. It does NOT say "it's Okay
to insult a member who insults you first".
If you ever find yourself in a situation like this PLEASE use the gripe/idea button or contact a Moderator. It will save you alot of
unnecessary anguish and I PROMISE YOU the offending member will be dealt with and YOU will be held in very high regard for handling things correctly
and NOT sinking to "their level". 
The D-Ego is the favored prey of trolls, trouble makers, spammers, and various other undesirables that do, from time to time, find their way into the
hallowed halls of AboveTopSecret.com.
These type of users NEVER last long here. Our members usually find them out within a post or two and we ban them on the spot.
Occasionally, a "good" member will have a bad day, a bit of "drunk" on, or simply go stark raving mad and act the fool (the D-Ego gone haywire).
When this happens we certainly DO take into account the history of the member in question and act accordingly. Usually this sort of situation is
resolved with a stern "talking to" and a warning.
I do hope this helps to give you a little "for sight" into how this happens and how we deal with it.
Springer...
25 points for bumping seems like a decent one-liner trade.

I know it's my thread but I do feel it is relevant. I'm only posting it here as I can't see anyone else making the link between what's been going
on in the thread titled Avatar Symbolism and what's being said here.
And as for anyone thinking of making a post about it here is even smaller, so just as a heads up on how the D-ego (which is a brilliant way of
explaining our subconscious actions regarding avatars) reflects our character, feel free to check out the above linked thread and see how others are
noticed...

great post and will definately check out the book and I have been a member for some time now and just started to get the nerve to post and what do you
think happened in the first few hrs of that post lol and I got kudos on how I ran and watched the post which made me feel better I dont mind peoples
oposing views I just dont think its fair to bash on others for thier views I started to feel hurt and anger and then thought its just the internet
dont get so bent and then handled it acordingly but my main thing was that people were not reading all that was posted as the post got bigger and I
think that is just in poor taste to post insualts when you haven't even read everything thats gone on in that post anyway great Ideal

Except that one time. 
But it's all good now.

That is why ATS seems to flow...good moderation.
Very funny the girl who posted and was banned. I love the term D-ego it needed a name. Im more out going and bright in the RW, not so much online it
just does not translate for me. It is probably because I am to impatient to write out my thoughts. LOL
Thanks Staff, Im new but folks have been really nice.

Ahh the D-ego ...its a close friend/enemy to all of us to all of us online, I to have one albeit a small one ,and sometimes it may rear its ugly head
here at ATS, but most of the time I like to think I can keep it in check.
I guess time will tell if my D-ego gets the better of me lol.
Great post none the less and ill try and keep it in mind as I'm posting................now I'm off to get some more points.
