I'm gonna assume FtD PM'd you because I've never seen realtalk anywhere besides something related to Michael Jackson or R&B so she probably gives no ****s. Let FtD know that I at least respect her musical opinions!!

A lot of your post was kind of incoherent but I think I got the gist. You clearly have a far different opinion on how people should handle social situations and by extension how people should handle themselves on a forum. A forum is completely public for a reason, if someone wants to drop a first impression of someone in this thread it should not be looked down upon. It's just psychology, we develop impressions on people very quickly. Opinions can also change, as my opinion of several members here have gone from bad to good and vise versa. A thread that's entirely about people's opinions about other people should be open to all voices, not just people that have been here for some arbitrary length of time just so you can see their opinion as valid.

This is pretty absurd to me.

I actually agree with you on this and even posted so earlier.

AGAIN NO ONE SAID THEY ARE LOOKED DOWN ON.

Jesus! I treat others the way I expect to be treated. Feel me? Soooo I don't post my first opinions on people because I like to educate myself on what they are actually like. I am looking down on bad form. Not people. Don't put words in my mouth.

I think he's basically saying other people don't have to live up to your justification of what's good form and bad form though.

Right. I can dig it.

But don't cry if you get your head chewed off for having bad manners.

How does a person justify not being accepted? calling everybody an assh*le.

You know who i like? Realtalk.

Even though i disagree alot of times with her and everybody gangs up on her she is still here taking everybody on.

And she doesn't go for low blows most of the time, what i mean by that is people here have been really to mean to her and usually she is not mean back to them.

Now idk her or anything, this is just an observation from what've seen from her posts.
