Always Be Skeptical

Posted by Emma - November 28th, 2011


So, anyone who's been on BBS recently probably knows about the Don/River controversy that might as well be called a flame war between loyalists and skeptics. I'm not making this post to "choose sides", merely to remind everyone to beware of whom they are developing relations with online (friendly or otherwise). Always remain skeptical of the person you are talking to. And, keep in mind that someone who is telling you everything you want to hear, knows they are doing so.

I know some of you are fairly young teenagers with a very high skeptic threshold; but don't automatically believe what you see or read online. We are all simply texts on a screen - no more until you are willing to drop your guard.

Well, those are my words of wisdom based on extensive experience for tonight. Keep your wits about you.

That is all.

Don't post often enough to have seen the furor... still, good advice is welcome. I grew up in the 80's and know all about bots, whack-jobs, transvestites and pedos from the primitive days of the internet; "If you read it on the internet, it must be true! (lol sarcasm)"

I would love to live back then - although I guess it would have been harder to detect this sort of thing.

I loved everything about her, Emma...

I know. And, I'm sorry.

But, I want you to try your best and calm down so that you can look at this situation rationally and objectively. It will hurt, and I will be here for you if you need help. I am trying my best to remain neutral and give Don a fair chance. But right now, logic, and human behavior is against him severely.

I'm a real person! I'm too stubborn not to be!

Lol you could be a robot, though!

Nah, I'm too squishy.

That's what you want us to believe ... Megatron.

BEEP BOOP BEEP!

Megatron doesn't sound like that ... okay you're free to go.

Woo!

On a serious note, I am on the non-believing side of this ting. The more I think about it, the less believable it seems.

Yes, every post and every response leads me to disbelief :/

Wade's post sealed the deal for me mostly. But I still want to give Don every opportunity to defend himself.

I still don't know whether or not to believe it

The important thing is you are being skeptical - and that can't hurt.

Some people on this website are COMPLETE ASSHOLES(not you, Emma, you are cool)to one another, and it's good that he is trying to defend himself (in my personal opinion)

I agree (and thanks, lol). He definitely has a right to defend himself. But so far, his arguments are very strange and mostly adapt to the accusations.

Emma's awesome because she doesn't hold grudges.

Unlike a certain person on the VG forum who mysteriously disappeared while I was gone...

I really don't :) except for GiantDouche.

Who's that?

KeithHybrid. He thought he could say any argument is stupid by pointing out I was 16 and he was 22.

LOL oh yes yes that's a very good reason.

^agreed I'm actually thinking he made it up solely to try to be popular (sorry for poor English, I'm Norwegian)

I think this would be the case as well if it is shown that he lied.

Also, your English is fine :)

He was one of the IN MY DAY GAMES MEANT SOMETHING! It was funny when I started gaming before he did by about 3 years.

Lol arguments using age never end well =.=

hi i'm JebbaL

Hello there, I'm EmmaVolt

lol

I was listening to that Zelda music i was telling you about. THEN OUT OF NO WHERE WILD DEATH METAL APPEARS!

Bah! Humbug. what an unfitting transition from ultimate bliss!

I'm quite fond of Death Metal. Just not after orchestra music. Now Panic at the Disco is a better transition.

Or Sting :)

hmmmm....Perhaps. Rush would also be nice. Maybe some Deadmau5

Deadmau5 and Ellie Goulding would be heaven!

You should check my news post for this song im listening to ;D

Okay :)

YOU DONT REPLY TO A BEING SILLY WINKY FACE WITH A SMILE! YOU REPLY WITH A BEING SILLY WINKY FACE!

:(

*sniff*

That was a silly yell. Not an angry yell.

Still :( ...

Okay....
