What's the point of bashing ?
I dont get on the MM forums much, but I read over a few today. It seems like in every other one somebody was attacking another. One was a person giving constructive criticism and the next reply from the original poster was rude. I thought it made them look ridiculous and showed a real lack of professionalism. Can someone explain to me what the point of bashing is ? Dec 31 05 10:27 pm Link From the movie Clerks: "There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others." Dec 31 05 10:32 pm Link I guess it makes the poster feel more secure about his/herself to criticize others. I don't know. Your guess is as good as mine. Dec 31 05 10:54 pm Link language is used differently by people. One man's slam is another man's honesty or just pointing out what is false. Dec 31 05 10:58 pm Link People often feel "braver" when they can sit in front of a computer and type out insults. I'd love to see some of the people face to face who say some of the things they do to each other on these forums. I've been around the internet for a long time and it happens everywhere. There is always someone who feels the need to make themself look like an idiot. It's just part of the anonymity of the internet.

Dec 31 05 11:19 pm Link Remember that some people post after work or quickly. Some people quote too fast before the person has a chance to rethink what has been written. We are throwing together people who are from different places in the world and with different backgrounds and training. Having dinner with a family in Naples Italy would be very different than doing so with a family in Ko Sumie, Thailand. And if you put the two together it would likely be rather uncomfortable at best.

Dec 31 05 11:42 pm Link The point of bashing, in short: There is no point other than to make oneself feel above another. Dec 31 05 11:43 pm Link Glamour Boulevard wrote: That says it all. Dec 31 05 11:46 pm Link No excuse for any bashing except this ..... Hey all! Ya'll have a bashing good New Years ya hear! Dec 31 05 11:53 pm Link Monkeys like to bash things.. (Even me.. See, I just did!) It's one of our more endearing traits... At least compared to the flinging of poo and the like..

Jan 01 06 02:34 am Link isn't this thread bashing "bashing?" (not that I don't agree with you) Jan 01 06 07:06 pm Link bump May 05 06 03:48 pm Link CiaraK wrote: Bashing... You're soaking in it..
