The Internet, Civility and Anonymity

[jAZ]

The question discussed in this 5 minute video is pretty interesting and quite relevant to ChiefsPlanet. What about civility in online discussions? What role does our own anonymity here play in the coarsening of our discussions. I'd take it a step further and ask what role does the coarsening discussions online play in a possible coarsening of the discussion offline as well?

[Chiefs Rool]

damn good watch and a lot of truth to it. I try to be respectful when I am online, but I had to quit my membership for xbox live because the way people treat each other goes against my faith. A simple I like Coke and you like Pepsi disagreement will usually result in death threats.

Amazing how no one was screaming about civility all the years we got to see GW Bush being depicted as a baby-eating Super-Nazi and all conservatives as racist, hate-filled idiots, but as soon as poor little Obama gets a little butthurt and sees his poll numbers crashing, it's time to quit posting strong opinions on the internet.

Oh, and if you don't like my views, go fuck yourself.

So this isn't anything to your personally, just using your remarks here as an example.

Imagine being around the office or at a party at a friends house, and you are among a mix of people you know and don't know. And imagine if someone raised a relatively thoughtful, sincere, and generally interesting question for discussion.

The likelihood that it would almost instantly turn into a string of snarky remarks, (sarcastic) insults and someone playing out the same joke again and again... is almost zero. The chance that something like that happens with the same question here on CP is upwards of 100%.

It's interesting how we would never even try to behave offline like we feel free to do online.

[Hammock Parties]

The internet is great. A lot of times you're talking directly to the Id of the person sitting at the other keyboard. Fascinating.

[Hammock Parties]

Shut the fuck up with your DC bullshit.

At the bash this year, we should strive to be our Chiefsplanet personas.

[jAZ]

They weren't?

There was a early debate about how CP should be moderated, and my opinion was that it should be approached as a place that can draw the line a bit harder in terms of enforcing some level of civility. I lost out on that very clearly. But the idea has always interested me, and I find it great to see that the rest of our culture is taking a look at the issue.

I have personally noticed that once I gave up trying to instill civility here and went with the flow, not only did my tone around here degenerate too much, but I noticed that the more time I spent online with that attitude, the more likely it was to slip through into other moments of my regular life.

My shorter fuse online made for a shorter fuse offline.

[OnTheWarpath15]

At the bash this year, we should strive to be our Chiefsplanet personas.

I didn't notice anyone acting any different at the last bash than they act online, personally.

[jAZ]

Agree 100%. But fascinating in a totally indulgent way. It's fun and interesting to go Id-to-Id, but much like going shot-for-shot in a bar, it's not particularly productive and if you do that every day, the entire experience turns on its head. It becomes destructive rather than merely fascinating.

[Pablo]

Politards don't show up to the bashes and talk their bullshit in real life because they'd be alienated pretty goddamn quickly.

So people were calling each other stupid fucking morons and things of the like to each others faces?

[Hammock Parties]

So people were calling each other stupid fucking morons and things of the like to each others faces?

Nah. I thought a lot of people were different. I think a lot of people were surprised I wasn't a moronic jackass.

[jAZ]

Politards don't show up to the bashes and talk their bullshit in real life because they'd be alienated pretty goddamn quickly.

I know I'm pretty well known for talking politics online and I almost never talk politics offline with anyone other than wife/family. Most people don't want to talk about those things and it can be intense if it comes ups. So I always used the DC as my release.

[jAZ]

Lord knows I get on Chiefsplanet to be productive.

Point well taken. Though I don't mean "productive" in reference to individual productivity. It might even be the wrong word. I'd probably should have said "healthy" in a social sense.

[Pablo]

So people were calling each other stupid fucking morons and things of the like to each others faces?

Nobody was particularly vulgar or verbose. Everybody was drunk or drinking and having a good time. Joe let's us all know up front there will be no bullshit or we'll be gone and folks respected each other and his rules.

[Marcellus]

Nah. I thought a lot of people were different. I think a lot of people were surprised I wasn't a moronic jackass.

I am fairly certain that while people may express part of their personality here they would act entirely more civil in person.

I don't remember the last time I called someone stupid to their face or had someone call me stupid to my face.

Whats that old Bill Cosby joke?....I asked a guy why he did cocoaine, he said it intensifies my personality. I said great but what if you are an asshole?

CP is some people's cocaine. ;)

[jAZ]

Nah. I thought a lot of people were different. I think a lot of people were surprised I wasn't a moronic jackass.

I think some people are pretty much the same online and off. But I'd bet most people are different. Those that are the same are likely known as being relatively coarse offline than the rest of the people. Or the converse, they are known as being relatively quiet. But the wide middle makes adjustment online and offline... just like they do when people are watching their behavior vs when they aren't.

[Bowser]

Nobody was particularly vulgar or verbose. Everybody was drunk or drinking and having a good time. Joe let's us all know up front there will be no bullshit or we'll be gone and folks respected each other and his rules.And then GoChiefs beat down Bob Dole.

I was just commenting on how OTW thought everyone seemed the same as online. I don't see how that's realistically possible or there would have been plenty of BS.

Granted I would bet money the majority of the shit stirrers on here weren't there.

[OnTheWarpath15]

So people were calling each other stupid fucking morons and things of the like to each others faces?

There wasn't any reason to.

None of the dumbfucks that say stupid shit on a regular basis showed up.

I had someone last year, though I can't recall who, tell me last year, "You're on your best behavior. You haven't even called someone stupid, much less a dumbass or fuckstick."

To which I replied, "Well, no one has said anything stupid, or acted like a dumbass or fuckstick."

I can't speak to how this place was prior to September 1, 2005, but I can tell you it hasn't really changed that much when it comes to what is being called "civility" in this thread.

Stupidity has been called out here for as long as I remember, and the higher the level of stupidity, usually increases the level of "incivility."

You're an idiot. There is no way the average intelligence of posters on this site is any less than what you encounter in real life.

Yet, if you communicated in real life like you do here, you'd get your ass beat daily. Nobody believes this is the real you. (Well maybe the douche part, but not the hardass part).

[BossChief]

Whether online or IRL, if someone doesn't think before talking they should be corrected at the level of how poor their thinking was when they made the statement/comment.

Im generally the nicest guy you will meet, but I can be a complete asshole if the situation dictates that response.

Im American/German, so I may be a little more opinionated than most IRL.

[Pants]

Shit, I'm definitely a lot more aggressive on the intrawebs than I am in real life. I don't care how heated the argument gets, I would never call someone a "retarded fucking monkey" to their face. I don't know, but I think the internet is a great outlet for people to argue without the prohibitive ways of politeness one must follow in our every day lives.

Honestly, the only guy I can think of around here that would tell somebody to eat a bag of dicks to their face would be ENDelt. But, Phobia "helped him" build a "deck". It was around that time that nobody heard from ENDelt ever again.

I'm pretty sure sedated has called me a stupid fucking moron to my face more than once. And he probably had a good reason to.

Look, it wasn't that way, OK? Bob Dole attacked, and my years of training and cat-like reflexes just took over. I'm a lethal killing machine, he's lucky to be alive.

[Bowser]

Obviously, I'm going to have to make a point of showing up this year and knocking you bastard dipshits into line.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I said it recently, and I'll say it again:

If Hootie, for example, was to show up to a CP function, and said something stupid, I'd call him a dipshit, then head to the cooler to grab him a beer or buy him one if we were out.

If I said something stupid, then guess what, I deserve to be called a dipshit as well. Whether the other guy is still willing to buy/grab me a beer afterwards is out of my control.

I have no problem calling it as I see it, her or in real life - and I think the people from here that have met me would agree.

[OnTheWarpath15]

FWIW, of all the people I've met from here that were even slightly different from their online "persona" was Redrum.

I remember Phobia had a BBQ back in either 2006 or 2007, and I remember RR being worried that someone might kick his ass for the shit he's pulled here.

He showed, and nothing, and I mean nothing came of it, at least that I know of.

Then again, there's a difference between calling someone a dumbass when they are being a dumbass and pulling the shit he's pulled.

He was acting somewhat civilized on the board at that time, but with the way he's acted since then, he is one person I could see having issues if he had showed up to a subsequent Planet event.

I normally keep that part bottled up offline (except to those in my inner circle), so I guess maybe there is a bit to this idea.

Agree there. On line before a game a few years ago, Much mention was made about stopping by (I believe it was A-4) and introduce my self and my hubby and grab a beer. We trekked out there and introduced ourselves and it felt like we were intruding so we stayed about 2 minutes.

BUT at the bash when we all were on the Star board we all bowled and then went to Station Casino and had dinner. It was AWESOME

I know I bore some with some times of what I post, but I need a venting place because I can't vent at home, hubby is just as upset about this illness as I am and the hospital stays scared the holy hell out of him. If I vent to him, he really gets upset. So we keep strong for each other...I vent here.

If in person tho if anyone askes me how I am doing, I usually just say fine unless they ask specific questions like "how sick did Chemo make you" I would give them a short answer and move on...

BUT on here, I have the ability to vent, and actually get some great advice and yes some ribbing, but that ribbing helps take my mind off the situation.

I am the same online as I am in person and I think if you talked to those that have met me from here they would agree~

Yep, pretty much, with RnR, you get what you see!!

I'm not to different in person either, I'm loud, I'm passionate, I'm loud, I'm opinionated, I'm loud. If you don't like it, go fuck yourself!!

:D

[Frazod]

There's two kinds of people here, and only two: those who interact with other members in person, and those who don't.

It's easy for the ones who don't to say whatever they want, since they'll never put themselves in a position to be held accountable in real life.

Certainly, I say why wait!! Are there still Wichita members other then us? Is Saul still in Wichita? Slag, I think is from Wichita. Gaz, was, but he is never around anymore. I know I am forgetting a few. You would need to just post a thread a few weeks in advance of when you are wanting to meet up!!

What he is saying is he like me and you have met people in person. I have talked with some clowns on here as has he who hide behind a keyboard and talk all tough but would never dream of being face to face with someone they talked tough to~

Ah, gotcha. Makes sense now. You know me and my little brain, I don't always get it!!

And those of us that do say things are still willing to show.

Shit, the guys like myself, you, Milkman, Pest, Deez, etc - the guys that don't put up with bullshit going unchecked are the guys I really want to meet.

Really, I've looked forward to every CP function I've attended, and never walked away not liking someone.

Have we met? I haven't been to a gathering in a few years, so forgive me if we have. Getting old/many lost brain cells.

Nope. We've come close twice.

Once in KC and once we were thinking about meeting at a Cards game you were in town for, and the client gave me tickets to the following night's game.

Looking forward to it, however. Hopefully it's at Joe's this year.

I am exponentially more blunt and verbose here than I am IRL, but I believe the things I write, and am thinking them IRL if the issues come up. Mostly a function of associating myself IRL much more with people with whom I disagree politically but share much more in common socially. Think of it this way, for all my views, you'd catch me sharing a brew with Bill Clinton on his deck 1000 times for every single time I'd be hanging out with Newt Gingrich, given equal opportunity to hang out with either. We just wouldn't talk politics. Same given a chance to play poker with Tim Robbins or go around being badass with Chuck Norris.

I used my real name on here for years and back then I was much less civil...
