Humanly Related
Recently, we have lost one of our chat family due to what was nothing more then a joke. Now I know I have expounded on relationships and conflict within the realm of Human Relations, but this is one aspect no one can prepare for but can be aware of.
There are two very important aspects to being a smart ass such as myself. First, is to always ’hit and run’ with a joke. Do not press it beyond the laughter. Get the laugh and move on to the next target. Second, is to be able to take a joke. To be able to self-abuse oneself in a comic manner. Be able to cut yourself down farther then those about you try to do, whenever possible. Note, if either of these rules are ignored, then the Smart Ass in realty just becomes a Jack Ass. Also a bully.
What we have became witness too is an individual who ignored the Twin Rules of being a Smart Ass. And in doing so, took himself way too seriously, and suffered what he perceived to be an insult to his ego.
In simple words: He could not take what he himself enjoyed giving to others.
Being an amateur student of human nature, I tend to notice things. And being that I rarely multi-task while in chat, I see patterns develop and change over time. Simple things that others may or may not pick up because they only pay enough attention to maintain a coherent chat.
Now that last comments were not intended to critical of anyone. Just stating a fact.
Alright now, what has this lead up too? It leads me to the following question or questions, depending on how tired of this I get before I get done.
Why did the victims typing tend to get worse as the evening wore on.
Why would the victim leave after a certain period of time and his typing got worse.
Why if alone the victim was a cordial individual, but when in a crowd, especially with female company, did he began to play the bully?
Shucks folks, I have about a dozen more questions I could ask here but let’s be honest here, I could care less about the answers, unless they agree with what I feel to be as true.
Damn, that was certainly arrogant of me, wasn’t it!
So, the victim’s ego got pissed on and no one would kiss it and make all better. How sad an individual of his age, has such a fragile existence.
Notice I have given more questions then answers to the situation many of us find really funny. I could expound at great lengths on what I believe. But why waste time, mine or yours?
I here and now admit to having been on the short edge a couple times. I admit on being upset cause of taunts directed at me. But I can take a joke. After all I have to look in the mirror from time to time. I do not mind Smart Asses, it’s the Jack Asses I have a problem with.
One final thing. Being a witness to the events that lead up to this diatribe, I can say with clear conscious that no one blocked or banned the victims re-entry into the chat. For those without certain knowledge, any attempt to place bans upon a person or ISP, puts notification on all administrators windows. And even though it was funny to see the victim booted, a ban would have not been proper and I would have immediately removed it.
Ergo, the moron got booted and could not get back in under his own power. And not being able to admit he screwed the pooch, blamed others for banning him.
I might say more later, then again I might be finished with this. Either way, stick a fork in me….. I’m done!!
