I've been at Buffy-Boards for almost a year now. I've had many great oppurtinities here and I've gotten a chance to know some really great and unique people, some who've left for their own personal reasons. I know the rules, except one or two that might slip my mind. I know for a fact that one of the rules is that you're not supposed to insult people in the threads or through PM's. This is supposed to be a family board. But, why does it seem like I'm the only one following the rules now adays? There's so many ignorant rude people at this board. It sickens me that they'll put someone down and make them feel stupid any chance they get. They call people names and don't even care what they're saying, as long as the person it's towards feels negatively towards themselves. I've sat back, aside from two, well now three, occasions when I've just had enough of the rudeness people are demonstrating. Why should I sit back and let them ruin something for me? I'm not the type of person to sit back and let someone put me down without kicking their butt some way or another. I'm also the type of person who won't sit back and watch others verbally abuse someone for no reason. Everyone has their opinion and it should be respected no matter how hard you disagree.
I know that if you have a problem with someone on the board, that you're supposed to have it solved outside the board where it won't cause any problems. How can I possible take on all these rude people outside the boards? The rude people population seems to be growing. I know that a few of the people on the board are twice as angry and aggressive outside the board than they are in. My opinion won't be heard. And they definetly won't stop. I'm also not leaving the board because of these people. And I know, well hope, that the mods won't kick me off the board when I start defending myself.
I feel as if I've been backed into a corner and I'm not gunna let arrigant little assholes push me and others around anymore. If others don't follow the rules, and make people feel negatively about themselves, than why should I have too?
So, this is a question to all the mods and everyone who visits the board. What is an aggreement that can be made up to prevent problems? The problems being someone openly rude for no reason, people attacking each other, and now, me attacking the rude people.

PS: This is in no way speaking negatively of the mods or calling out how good their job is. They do a fine job. I don't expect them to catch every little post.
