I'm new here. Okay, so why is it that a lot of people here seem to snap at another's opinion that they may not agree with? It's sort of alienating. It's like I have to stay mute so that nobody becomes a queen and gets bent out of shape because they don't agree. Is this something that's displayed often, or is it just a select few? It's sort of turning me off of this place already! By all means, express your opinions, but don't get angry because I don't say what you wanna hear. Is that so much to ask?!
 
Unfortunately, in forums like this, debates are often substituted with arguments, and it's often easier to attack the speaker instead of the opinion in question. The fact that we are all more or less 'anonymous' here makes that easy to do. There are no real consequences (except, perhaps, the occasional banning).
 
gay men

go figure

welcome buddy and don't be afraid to post

just use the ignore feature for folks that bug ya and you wont see the stuff that is bothering you
 
MCsNo1Fn - PLEASE don't let some of what you see here disturb you. There are LOTS of great people - guys and gals - who share intelligent, considerate opinions.

And there are several areas of JUB. This is Hot Topics - which is not a "protected" area like the no-fllame zone, coming out, spiritual and health and similar.

Of course, you also have to grow a tough skin. Cyber space is not a place for the meek - gay boards or otherwise. Toughen up and shout right back if you wish. You can also ignore certain people and certain areas/threads if you choose.

But stick around. You'll quickly learn whom to respect and whom to dis. I see you have 26 posts here on JUB - hang out a while and you'll see people with THOUSANDS!! They aren't all ass holes, either!

Welcome to JUB - I'm very happy I joined, and I hope you will be, too. :wave:
 
That's good to know! I like this place already and I've been here for like ... a day HAHA. I just saw a lot of it going on and was just appalled. Yeah, I shoulda known - gay men...haha. Like I said, I've never really been exposed much to the gay community cause there really isn't one here where I live. Are they really this bitchy? LOL
 
you havent lived until you see a gay couple have a fight in a bar

hair pulling and bar stoold flying

hell hath no fury like a drunk queen that has been dissed

Well I think you are talking about several issues here.

Depending on the subject matter of the thread you are obviously going to get a variety of views on that said subject matter, some of which will agree with and some who will not. For right now, I happen to agree with you that there are some individuals on the website who will deliberately want or try to relate to you in a hostile manner. But I think you will also find that there are a lot of nice people here who relate to you in a posistive way, but at the same time they might disagree with you .

There is no way of controlling the people you are going to run into and meet on the website. So you need to be prepared to deal with different views and different personalities and different ways people will interact with you.

I am not sure what threads you have had some negative experiences in, as I see you have a small number of posts and thus you are new to the sight. By the way(*W*) and I think that it is fine that you have started a thread expressing your feelings about what you have encountered since being here. How many days that is I do not know, but I would think it might take at least 2-3 weeks to get a good view of what the website is all about, before you can can really make a judgment call as to how good the site is or is not.

These are just a few comments from one individual, but I am sure more will be appearing very soon.

eM.:(
 
not all gay men are drama queens

dearest.

well andrues (a wonderful poster) is right about the "drunk queen" comment

one thing you'll quickly learn about the gay community is its very diverse

theres no one steroetype that fits us

so relax

and explore

+ be safe, k? There some creepy creepy pervs out there

:)

Seriously, you have to keep in mind how many of us are here. This site is global. You can't expect everyone to get along. You will find in time the ones that are constantly negative, but I feel they are in the minority. Enjoy posting here. Most of us are nice and you couldn't find a better place to engage in jokes, seriousness, and yes, sadness.
 
Yeah, the fur can fly here, but I've rarely seen a site this big that runs with this little conflict and drama. As I've said in the past: go to any forum dedicated to something with a massive following (like a video game or tv series) and watch how the fact that you fail to mention a minor detail becomes the basis of an argument that you are the biggest moron in the world, etc. etc.

I'm overdue for this: LOVE YOU, GUYS!
 
^^^ I agree, this site is a haven of peace and joy compared to every other forum I've visitied.

We do have one or two people who I avoid, because they have certain hot-button issues that really send them off.

And the discourse as CE & P is not always at the elevated level I would prefer. But by and large, people are pretty civilized here.
 
JUB is a great place, lots of nice people.

If you see a posting you don't like, there is always another that will catch your fancy.

Post, and have fun. Like everyone else said, it's a great place.

...and welcome!! :wave:
 
Wow guys...nice ...nice and very nice...you all seem so Seer-like I am sure that us newbie's will catch on quick though. It is really fascinating for me to come into this realm and explore the outer reaches of the GAYlaxy. Of course there are a few dodos who aren't worth the type space but I have learnt quite a bit just from "surfing around this URl. Thanks for the great topic McsNo1F. and for the warm feeling that the responses gave me when reading them all you: Posters. Especially the Blk Elk piece. "Kisses on your heart" as my Brasilian friend says.
 
I'm certainly pleased that I made this thread. Everyone here, except those few I was speaking of in my first post, seem so wonderful! Like Annie said, I think I'm gonna like it here!!!!
 
like adidas said...gay dudes are bitchy. even us bi folks are kinda bitchy. it's fun to be bitchy sometimes. i can tell u from personal experience tho' that the mods here keep a tight reign on things. unfortunately.
 
Keeping a tight reign is sometimes a good thing. It seems like they do their jobs well. I mean it's not like Saddam is running the joint or anything. Can't be that bad or else this many people wouldn't be here :) I love bitchy people, I just can't stand MEAN bitchy people lol.
 
No no no, you haven't offended me. Nobody in this thread has. I just found out if you mention the word Madonna, it's your ass!!! lol
 
Unfortunatly, like many communities...

We're quite fractured.



You have Pro-________(Insert User Name) camps who will back up, support, compliment and so forth any member for what ever reason.

But then you also have the Anti-______________(Insert User Name) camps who will blast and attack pretty much any post made by that certain user for whatever reason.


While some people may have very good validating reasons for belonging to these camps, they can get out of hand from time to time.


Then on top of those, who have more fractured divisions:

Gay Right Wingers vs Gay Left Wingers
"Flammers" vs "Straight-Acting/Masculine"

And onwards and so forth...



This is one reason why I think the gay community still has trouble getting accepted in the world.

How can we expect anyone else to accept us, when we have a hard time accepting certain people in our community?
 
Welcome MCsNo1Fn :wave: If you don't have much experience with the gay community then this is just as good a place to start as any (maybe better ;) ). You will find the full spectrum of guys and opinions here at JUB. Even something as obvious as "the sun will come up tomorrow" will find someone who will argue that this is not guaranteed! So stick around and don't let anyones ruffled feathers, ruffle your feathers.
