Behavior

[CZzyzx41]

I have noticed just in myself that the intelligence or maturity of my posts can differ just based on my current mood. I know this isn't right since I should show the same respect, courtesy, and overall maturity regardless of what mood I'm in. My question is, does anyone else notice themselves or others doing this?

Obviously someone who is angry may scream, people who are sad sometimes will cry, people who are happy tend to smile. However I just mean here in this forum of typing words out. can you tell someone's mood because their syntax or diction changes or perhaps their vocabulary drops or they start to curse or call names or whatever?

I do have my bad days.

I do try to do my best to be mindful of my actions and words and how they might affect others.

Though I must reiterate I do have my bad days.

 

[artofwar]

Yup-everyone is subject to moods; everyone has them, and it does slip out in the posts. Yes-you can tell in the typing. The problem is, our moods also influence how we interpret what we read!

Oh yeah! If I'm already frustrated about things and I read something that, IMO, is incredibly lame I tend to get snippy.

Me, too. I said as much to mhatten yesterday!

Group hug?

I am glad I am not the only one, and I am also glad that it is not just a female tendancy ... Honestly, I have written so many posts that upon consideration of their tone, I have had to close Christian Forums to avoid hitting the 'submit' button. This tone does not even have to involve obscenities or offensive language. It is very easy to communicate sarcasm within a civil vocabulary palate --- in fact, that very well may be the ideal sarcastic palate.

Yes I for sure do. In fact I posted in politics yesterday something I am going to go back and delete

Sometimes my fingers act of their own accord and I just can't stop them from their outrageous behavior

I think it's a pretty normal thing. Not necessarily a good thing, but a normal thing. I know I do it -- at times I'm able to be completely respectful to anyone I'm talking to, no matter how frustrated I might become, but at other times I just lose it and start saying some pretty cruel and hurtful things. I'm not proud of myself when I do that, but the most I can do is try to rein myself in as much as possible -- and then when I fail, I can only hope that the people around me understand from past experience that I'm mostly a good guy

I've always thought you had a really nice personality and your kindness and gentleness really show. You're cool in my book!

Debatable, debatable.

I've noticed that when I'm really tired I tend to be even less understanding. I'm very conservative, and don't have a lot of tolerance for those who believe different from me to begin with, however it becomes even worse when I'm tired, or have had a bad day. Granted this doesn't excuse my behaivor, but it happens.

Wehn I am angry I tned to tpye really fsat and swtich teh order of letters and words and make no sense, generally, the happier I am the clearer my mind is and the more coherant I am.

I generally don't post in forums when I'm ****ed off though ^^.

Don't forget that the same goes for reading responses. Sometimes you are in a rational and accomodating meed and sometimes you just what to hit out. My point of view is that I do not allow something like that to bother me. I am what I am and my actions is a consequence of what I am and the consequences of my actions are part of the normal chain of cause and effect so it's all very normal
