Are we so "Loving and Tolerating" anymore? · 2:11am Mar 26th, 2012
Wow, I cant believe a brony would hate on another brony. Whenever my non-brony friends ask me what other bronies are like, i tell them that we are a pretty tight knit bunch, but im obviously wrong. I thought that bronies would know better than to be trolls, but obviously not. Hey, if thats how they get their rocks off, thats fine by me. Just dont hate on other people. Just use CleverBot or something, I dont know. So recently, I posted a comment on a story, and everybody was all like "stop acting all arogant, you prick" and I was all like "im not being arogant, I just said that people like my reviews" but they couldnt drop it! So here it went, on and off, notification after notification, people ganging up on me for reasons unknown. All i said was that i write respectable and speculated reviews on some of the stories Ive read, but they somehow put words in my mouth and started bitching about how i was clearly being a pompous prick and to step off of my pedistal before i fell off and hurt myself. Ive learned my lesson... Some bronies are fucking pricks.
Oh yeah. I was there. Um you stated that you reviewed a lot of stories,but the people there were unfamiliar with you.
Sometimes it's safer not to claim authority on any given subject matter. People are liable to challenge you. It's best if you let your experience shine through your insight. then people will respect your claims.
Otherwise they'll mistake it for boasting.
Prime example:
BE this =>
Avoid this =>
Get this =>
I hope that helps you diffuse conflict in the future.
take care.
44835 You have a point, my friend. Be Twilight, not Trixie. Be a bookworm, not EQD's mascot. Be the pony who mentally snaps under pressure, not the one who has swagger topped only by Rainbow Dash. Fine, ill be twilight.

LOL! You're a genius!
I hope I didn't offend you. I just wanted make sure that the conflict was observed from all angles.
it's the best way to avoid future arguments.
Inspite of the banner "Love and Tolerance", bronies are still human beings and very prone to hostility.
I ,for one, believe that humans are inherently good and can be reasoned with so I always try to work with others.
44854 How on earth would you hurt my feelings when I know that you are trying to help? I mean, sure, I may feel like im lamenting with a bunch of assholes at times, but we're all of the same basic mindset, and nothing will change that.

I'm not good with sarcasm. I can never make certain whether a person is being humorous or playing passive aggressive
.
44866 Naw, I was serious. Some bronies are cunts. All of this constant fighting is making us seem like a cult, rather than a group. You couldn't even call it a group anymore, since we are so big. I suppose we earned the title "small nation" by now.
44869
Perhaps.
But I can't control people. You can't control people.
It's like this in wider society. Wars and violence proliferate, and you can't spell culture without 'cult'.
you're either in one group or another. (at least to collectivists. I'm an individualist)
Being a brony only means we have common interest in a Cartoon.( a form of media...of art)
It in no way cancels out the prior differences between us.
We remove those differences by choice so we can enjoy each other's company.
That's what I find good about this fandom(and society for that matter): those of us that try to get along.
I believe that people like You and I can only handle ourselves in the day-to-day, one-on-one interactions.
If we can be reasonable and responsible for ourselves we've made one step towards progress.
If we can influence others to do the same, we've made another step.
from that point on it's just a cycle of improving the self and helping others that makes for a nicer world.
But, who am I? I ain't Confucius. (though I'd like to be)
44883 I didn't understand a word of that bullshit... And I like it!
44890
........fuq ...
I just poured my heart out...oh well
atleast I tried.
44896 Well, its good to know that you poured your heart out to somebody you just met. As for me, im going to bed. We can continue this conversation tomorrow, if you would like.
44907
peace,bro!
Agrees.
My.. well friends... are like this:
Im like this:
AKA Hyper. They always fight and in the end someone has a bleeding nose.
What I'm trying to say is, I agree and My friends are like this (BUT NOT ME!)
I was there... I have to admit, you were acting a bit arrogant for someone who's only been on here for 3 weeks.
Love and tolerate, and it'll come back to you.
That's not what you were showing back there.
46422 Thats great that you just decided to throw in your two cents there. We really needed that. Seriously, fuck off. Do you think I havent heard that already? Why dont you take their side, go ahead. Its not like I have a story, too
