So being a rude insensitive man makes you not gay?
Wait, wrong.
So wanting someone to stop being a rude insensitive man makes you gay?
No, but wording it with "be more sensitive" as the base makes it sound gay. Say stop being so rude, not stop being so insensitive.

People already are sensitive... GIRLS!

People already are sensitive... GIRLS!
But there are no girls on the internet, only Unless you mean G.I.R.L.S

there are 2 or 3, they getting naked on cam for everyone but me

Really their is, their just on MSN.

I find it funny how people say theres no girls on the internet. My friend who is a girl, who I know in real life plays online games.

The internet is a mean place. People need to be able to learn to adapt to it. That doesn't mean they need to learn to adapt to it here. Being nice (or at least not "OMFG YOU'RE A <something>!!") is good karma and helps make the community a nice place to be. "If you have nothing good to say about someone, don't say anything at all."

Insensitivity has more than one definition. It doesn't have to relate directly to affection if that's what you were thinking.
 
Insensitivity - not responsive or susceptible (In this case, to an emotionally upset person)

...How would you know so much about what GAY people say anyway? Do you often hang out with gay people? You aren't gay yourself, are you?

Koden, it's people like you (people that pick out the worst in everything and everyone) that make the internet in general a mean place. If you think insulting things and people makes you high and mighty or something, then it's time for reality. It doesn't.

100% agreed. 

Anybody who lets insults from the internet actually have an significant effect on them is a pusillanimous individual. It's not like anybody can hurt you.

Just roll with it, the world isn't going to stop being an ass just for you.

I wasn't asking for the world, but some of you could be more open for new ideas rather than defile a good idea with poorly thought out counterexamples.

I understand why its so easy to be roostery over the internet: No one can see you, verbally speak to you, or physically harm you. Believe it or not, some people do take the internet way too seriously, but a simple sorry can do a world of good. There's not much else that can be done over the internet.

EDIT: Before someone tries to waste a post with something like this:

Physically? No. But people on the internet do so much mental abuse to each other all the time. I know people who have and some who almost commit Self Delete due to things like this. If you call them a pusillanimous individual, you are very close minded.

Well I'm not one to make fun of Self Delete. I just can't see why anybody would care so much what complete strangers (who they will never even meet) say about them.

Let the strong survive and let the weak be crushed.

The Internet was made for trading and selling stocks, buying and selling things. Not to act like a ass all day and get our laughs, some one could say i'm wrong.
