Even though it's pretty difficult to take IRC seriously most of the
|
|
time, as well as 'netiquette', it should be noted that there are some
|
|
things one just shouldn't do on IRC.
|
|
|
|
(For the more fortunate, IRC = Internet Relay Chat.)
|
|
|
|
It's much easier to tell someone to fuck off by typing it onto a
|
|
screen, instead of saying it to their face, for most people. Sure,
|
|
whatever, that's not what I'm writing about. I'm writing about the little
|
|
indecencies that occur online between people who know each other well,
|
|
some in real life, some online.
|
|
|
|
There's a lot of easy ways to aggravate someone while chatting in
|
|
private message. A common method deals with a user being marked as Away.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
[15:57] <AnonGirl> i'll be back
|
|
[15:57] <Person> k!
|
|
[15:57] * AnonGirl is Away
|
|
[15:57] *** AnonGirl is now known as AnonAway
|
|
[15:59] <Person> back?
|
|
[15:59] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:01] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:02] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:04] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:05] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:07] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:07] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:07] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:09] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:11] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:12] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:15] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:16] <Person> back?
|
|
[16:17] *** AnonAway is now known as AnonGirl
|
|
[16:17] <AnonGirl> I am back. do you know why?
|
|
[16:17] <Person> wb! why?
|
|
[16:18] <AnonGirl> Because for some strange reason, my computer kept
|
|
beeping like a motherfucker.
|
|
[16:18] LOL ROFL sorry!!!!!!!!!
|
|
|
|
If you don't understand what's wrong with that log, stop
|
|
reading now.
|
|
|
|
I know enough people online, and some of them like to share their
|
|
innermost feelings with me. I'm perfectly alright with this, but
|
|
sometimes, things can get pretty deep, and there is really no way to
|
|
respond to such things:
|
|
|
|
<SomeOne> Hey! what's new?
|
|
<AnonGirl> Not too much, you?
|
|
<SomeOne> Oh, this and that my grandmother died today
|
|
<AnonGirl> Oh god! I'm so sorry!
|
|
<SomeOne> its okay. i loved her so much. im really going to miss her.
|
|
i dont know if i can go on without her.
|
|
<AnonGirl> Sure you can! Times like this you have to be strong..
|
|
<SomeOne> Oh strong schmong! a person is DEAD and that's all you can
|
|
say???
|
|
<AnonGirl> uhm.. i'm really sorry
|
|
<SomeOne> whatever
|
|
<AnonGirl> I am! sincerely!
|
|
<SomeOne> Fuck off
|
|
*** SomeOne has left IRC
|
|
|
|
See, there really is no way to express your deepest sympathies
|
|
through IRC. So, people shouldn't tell you someone died on IRC. It's
|
|
not the place! It never will be!
|
|
|
|
The following is another example of something that should not be
|
|
done on IRC.
|
|
|
|
<Lifesux1> so anywayz yah im going to kill myself right now
|
|
<AnonGirl> what?
|
|
<Lifesux1> im going to drink some poison
|
|
<Lifesux1> right now
|
|
<AnonGirl> hahah where the hell did you get poison??
|
|
<Lifesux1> im serious im drinking it right now
|
|
<AnonGirl> you'd better be kidding!
|
|
* Lifesux1 takes another sip of her poisonous grape punch
|
|
<AnonGirl> What the hell are you drinking poison for??
|
|
<Lifesux1> becuz lif0rz sux0rz
|
|
<AnonGirl> Still!! have some pride!! don't kill yourself on irc!
|
|
<Lifesux1> their going to name you as an accomplice for saying that
|
|
<AnonGirl> Please!! tell me you're joking!! and it's they're, not their.
|
|
<Lifesux1> im dead serious! no pun intended
|
|
<AnonGirl> You're on crack
|
|
<Lifesux1> *gulp*
|
|
<AnonGirl> C'mon seriously, I'm begging you.. stop joking around.
|
|
<AnonGirl> please?
|
|
<AnonGirl> hello?
|
|
<AnonGirl> answer!!
|
|
<AnonGirl> please don't be dead please please please don't be dead
|
|
<AnonGirl> oh god!!
|
|
<Lifesux1> PSYCH!!!!! GOTCHA!!!! LOL ROFLMAO HAHAHAH
|
|
|
|
Joking about suicide isn't funny, in any form. So don't!
|
|
|
|
Continuing with practical jokes, here is another exerpt concerning
|
|
death.
|
|
|
|
<SomeBody> Audrey I've got some bad news
|
|
<AnonGirl> Oh no.. what is it?
|
|
<SomeBody> My sister was driving her boyfriend to work today and well, it
|
|
was all shitty and raining and stuff, and they got into an
|
|
accident on the highway.
|
|
<AnonGirl> Oh my GOD!! Are they okay?
|
|
<SomeBody> I dunno.. Mary's in critical condition and John is in a coma.
|
|
I really don't know if they'll make it :( :( :( :~(
|
|
<AnonGirl> Oh man, this is so terrible! Shit, I hope they're okay.
|
|
Just remember to be strong. And never lose hope. Honestly,
|
|
my cousin was in an accident recently caused by a drunk driver,
|
|
she's still in a coma but I know that she'll be okay. Just
|
|
don't lose hope, k?
|
|
<SomeBody> I'm trying real hard, but y'know, seeing her there all mashed
|
|
up and stuff, it's really shaken me. I don't know if I can
|
|
handle it! :(
|
|
<AnonGirl> You can! and you will! She'll be okay. And if not, then
|
|
I'll be there for you every second of the way.
|
|
<SomeBody> ROFL LOL ROFLOLOLOLOL
|
|
<AnonGirl> What's so funny?
|
|
<SomeBody> GOTCHA!!! LOLOL 'Just don't lose hope, k?' LOL HAHA LOSERRRR
|
|
|
|
Naturally, I was relieved, but really pissed off at the same time.
|
|
Sure, I can take a joke, but when it's about death, I find it hard to
|
|
laugh after the joke is up. Maybe it's just me.
|
|
|
|
This is tiring.
