"If you don't like it, don't read it."

As in w00t's post in http://www.silkroadforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=44834 It's impossible to tell if you're going to like it or not, if you don't read it in the first place. Talk about things that are common sense. Yet I see people say that, or something similar to it all the time. Don't be stupid people!

damn son. where you been?

I guess what they mean is 'if you dont like it leave the thread alone' ?

Or they expect people to judge the thread by its subject =P

Check the topic I posted. It's kind of hard to determine what kind of topic it was going to be by the title of it.

yeah I get what u mean



I wouldnt expect people to do that either

But oh well, some people might..

Okay say..you are black. Some idiot makes a thread that seys all black people are gay and all that. Don't expect yourself to leave that be lol.

Regardless of my race, I'd go in a topic like that and give the creator a real good earful. I do not allow racists in my world. If I have to be near them, I'll pretend they don't exist.

Pretending something doesnt exist doesnt change the fact that they are there. (same can be applied to botting in sro) So basically "pretending" that the holocaust didnt happen makes it better? So someone who was in the holocaust should pretent it never happened? (yes yes I know extream point but still. You left it wide open for that)

Saying the holocaust never happened is a serious crime in most countries AFAIK.

I'm not saying it never happened, but I do believe that certain Jewish people use it as an excuse.
They've killed a lot of people since they occupied Israël. A country that was taken away from you in the Ancient Roman times doesn't give you the right to take it back this time.

It's a bit more complicated as this thanks to WW 1 and 2 where the allies promised them to give them a country if they lend money to them. The Arabs joined Hitler in WW2, in the hope he'd win so there wouldn't be a talk of Israel.

I change the line 'don't like it, don't read it' into 'don't like it, leave it'. Works for me.

Well it's easy to do!
Mostly kids like that live in a dream world.
So just read it activate your time machine to go back in time then skip it this time.



If you are posting over the internet, Accept that fact that people might read what you wrote and disagree with you.

Every topic is going to have people agreeing with it, and people disagreeing with it. Forums are essentially meant to discuss things, and for that to work you need both sides there.

Thinking everyone will agree with you is utopic, people have opinions and will express those, no matter how many one-liners you invent.

If one disagrees he should make it clear why he does it.
It's quite lame to say > you're not correct without an explanation.
