Where do you draw the line between a good person and a bad person?

**OlegL** · 07-26-2011, 07:22 AM

I know the question may sound dumb because a lot of (or most?) people are neither good or bad, but are somewhere in between. But still... what kind of people, in your opinion, definitely deserve to be treated badly and what kind of people deserve to be treated well? This world is just so confusing, but maybe you will be able to give me an answer to my question.

First of all, how is my signature even related to this discussion? Also, there are a lot of people on FST who have forum signatures...
Please just stay on topic, and answer the question that I asked in post #1.
Other folks, I am waiting for you to respond!

bad people do others harm, like as a habit. assholes do others emotional harm, like as a habit. If you're not actively trying to change the fact that your actions do others harm then you're becoming a bad person I think.

What is your point to this, trOleg?

People are becoming less nice to you because you are irritating/trolling. It doesn't make any of us "bad"- we are simply reacting to your dumbassedness. Have you tried not being an irritating troll? People might be nicer. Maybe not, though. You've dug yourself in pretty deep.

This is what I read in wikipedia:
"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4] ".

According to this definition, I am not a troll. I don't post inflammatory messages. I am not sure what "extraneous" is, but I guess it's the same thing as "off-topic"? Well, every time I posted off-topic messages, I always said, "Sorry for being off-topic." Sometimes a person wants to be off-topic, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's a troll. Every time I was off-topic, I always asked valid questions and made valid statements. So, I don't understand why you called me a troll.
Anyway, you are being off-topic, megabyteme. The question that I asked was, "Where do you draw the line between a good person and a bad person?" You need to stop making responses that are unrelated to my questions.

Someone should update the wikipedia to have ignoramous as one of the adjectives

But I often don't know if I harm others or not.
