Seriously guys...

Calculusguy.

Now, don't tell me it doesn't ring a bell. Anybody that is well known has read a couple of his topics, and most big-posters have -repped him.

Please, when you reply, do not get defensive. I know what ran through your heads when you read his topics, and -repped him. But, you got to see it from his view.

Calculusguy is a person who strongly is against noobs. Yes, he is hasty to stereotype. Yes, his temper can get pretty hot. Yes, he most likely wrongly pinned you as a noob, and -repped you.

But really. Are we all perfect?

I'm not. You are not. Not even Failgirl, or MFL, or Mustang, or even RPGMaster2000. I remember being just like him, but on a different forum. I hated noobs. I got really angry over simple stuff like rep. Yeah, I was seriously annoying. We all were at some point. And we might have gone on like that, hadn't something changed us.

Me? It was my friends, on my previous forum, who told me "Hey, don't get angry", or "Hey, it's just a rep. I'll fix that -rep". Some of you, you got pushed around and flamed to when you changed. Some just learned that people don't hold you in high regard when you act a certain way. Some haven't even changed!

Some of you will say, "Calculusguy will figure it out only until he is pushed around enough", of course, probably worded differently. This may have worked for you, but some don't get it that way. Some, when they are pushed, don't change, but get depressed, or even worse, maybe even commit suicide. Yes, even over rep, when it becomes obvious "nobody" likes them. When they get a touch of this, it seems like everything their friends, or parents do, they don't really like you. So technically, you are cyber-bullying. Very lightly, as it is just a rep, but it is being massively done by seemingly everyone. This adds up, and takes a toll.

What's the point of this topic? Well, here you go.

I am asking all of you that -repped him for being a noob ect. to return with a +rep. I can see a lot of you saying, "But he -repped us!". If you do this (I'll be checking his rep), I will +rep you back, and 5 hours later, rep you again for fixing his rep.

If you won't do it for the rep, then do it for a life. Like calculusguy, I was pushed around like that, online and offline. I myself went through depression, so please see it from his view. Really, you said it yourself, it's just a rep. Will it hurt you and your pride to help somebody, and just +rep him?

Please, do not wave this aside, saying I don't understand. Read it, and treat it as if you posted it yourself. With respect. Also, please comment with opinions and questions, and I will be sure to answer them.

P.S. If you +rep Calculusguy, and you know somebody that hasn't yet, please try to convince them to. ANYBODY that tries to help his rep will get 2 +reps.

Re: Seriously guys...

I won't do this because one, he labeled me.

And two it's just an online forums. If he cares so much about his rep he can just turn it off.

You know why I turn my rep off? Because I was sick and tired of people trolling it, and I came to a realization. You can have all the reps you want, but that doesn't make you an awesome person. When my rep i on I have 122 reps but I don't want people to judge me by that. I want people to judge me based off my actions, not some stupid number. I'm a person, not a rep.

Yeah, but first impressions count. For example, if a new player saw a post by you that was horribly stupid (I've made many of these posts), they would think you a noob. If they saw your rep of 122, they would think "Oh, he/she made a stupid post. It happens".

Also Failgirl, there is something called apologizing.

Would you forgave him for apologizing. If he saw this thread, and actually realized he was wrong, then he would most likely apologize.

And Jerem, is that toward me or Failgirl?

EDIT: I have seen that group. Have you seen my recent post? Probably not. If you don't like it, ignore it.

Is it really that hard to be the bigger person and help fix his rep?

Re: Seriously guys...

I read your posts Shinabi (Even on the other topic)

I don't hate or dislike Calculus guy. It's his arrogance that's **** me off. Every time anyone -reps him, even with a legit reason, he thinks he never deserves it.

Then he has the gall to label me, and my friends noobs? You don't find it rather rude that he complains about people, then creates a group to defame people? Shinabi open your eyes. It's pretty clear to see what I'm talking about.

I don't think you are dumb and stupid, and I'm not saying I dis-agree with you, but if hes is going to complain about his rep being so low then he shouldn't be making fun of people in the first place. He thinks he can go off and make a group that labels people just because they make a mistake once in a while, then think he's not gonna get some negative reactions?

If he deleted his crew AND apologized to all the people on his list then I would give him his rep back.

Re: Seriously guys...

This is a good example of EE drama. Me personally doesn't mind calculusguy in-fact I never knew all that information about him but now I know and well...I have no comment.

I have opened my eyes, and yes, he has stereotyped many people. He will change, but people need to tell him, or even better, help him change it so he will understand he can do something.

How's this: He changes the group so it doesn't defame people, possibly a list of extra-helpful people, and the apology can be done. I'll talk to him about this.

Thank you for reasoning with me. (And I am glad you think I am not dumb, nor stupid)

Re: Seriously guys...

So -repping is now considered cyber-bullying? I feel bad for Chewy....

Shinabi

Re: Seriously guys...

D-rock, technically it is, very lightly. Only if it is with negative meaning. For example, Chewy's rep is -repped a ton because he asked for the -rep. Thus, the -rep was of good, maybe jokeful, intention. These -rep puts him down, and makes him angry. In this case, it was mass-produced with people that are well-known, and he might possibly look up to. So the effect of the -reps added up, to where it might actually be considered bullying.

Re: Seriously guys...

Your philosophy on the reps is stupid, no offence. I get -repped too and I don't get angry. If you get angry over reps then you should probably take a break from the computer.

Re: Seriously guys...

If he doesn't want his -reps, he can either turn them off or ask a mod to remove them. And this topic is pointless, for it's e-drama. I know you are problably gonna reply with some "blah blah bleeh bloop blah" crap. It's not like rep is a shooting range.

Re: Seriously guys...

It's why, and what you say for the desc.

Normally, yes, it would be stupid to get angry over a couple -reps.

But, what I am saying is, if a mass of people -rep someone, it affects their view of these people, and, maybe even the way they see life around them. Everything you do has an affect on someone. This is rare, but maybe just because you -repped someone, it may cause them to get depressed and maybe even commit suicide.

I've done a report on suicide; I know something about it.

Honestly, if he is sick enough in the head to even think about it like that then I don't really even care.

If rep is so important for you, why don't you create a festival every year where people rep each other in a topic?

Because it might kill a few.
No seriously if a number in the internet caused you to die that will just be wtf.

Good luck with that.

If someone is that insane, that their life around them is affected that much just from some some numbers, they need help. Serious help.

Re: Seriously guys...

It's not the number. It's what's said in the description. How would you feel if a ton of popular people, one you may even look up to, told you "Noob, stop defaming other noobs if you are one yourself" ect.

I would feel heart-broken. I mean, why do all these people hate you? You were just trying to help. And even though this itself may not cause depression, a combo of things could. For example, if that day at school, he got beaten up ect., this could add up with the fact he got bullied and thus may cause depression.

I'll admit, when I went through depression, it didn't help that on seemingly all the forums I was on, somebody was telling me to **** off, ect., and trust me, it didn't help.

I pulled out of depression out of sheer will, because I knew it's not worth it, but just because I can doesn't mean everybody can. C'mon, go look up how many suicides have taken place this year, and see how many by cyber-bullying.

Really, even if you have an argument about doing it, or a grudge, can you just return the rep? I mean, it helps YOUR rep too, and if, JUST if, something happens to Calcguy, you won't have to feel guilty (LOL, that is fail, as we probably wouldn't know ect., but still).

Fuzzy, I said in mass -reps can it cause depression, but only with negative intent and a pretty mean description

Here's an example of what is happening, but in real life.

A Muslim kid is passing in-between classes, and a group of bullies push him to a wall, and start beating him up. In their mind, Muslims are trying to change others beliefs, and they should tell him to stop, by beating up on him. In their mind, they're righteous. But, as we can see, they are racist, and the kid can get depressed, and so on.

Now, I am not saying you are racist, but I am saying that even though it may have a good reason, that it could affect him. As I stated in his crew topic, if he makes some major changes to the crew, and apologizes to ALL of the people he labeled, or insulted, then would you return the +rep?
