I
have noticed in the short time I've been using chat clients
(i.e. Yahoo, MSN, AIM, ICQ)
the growing number of users. I myself have no problem with
meeting new people no matter how
strange they might seem. No, my problem is with when the new
users who find out about script kiddies and protocol bombs (protos
no longer work btw with Yahoo 5.5). These users get these
programs and think they're so neat but in actually
they're not.
These
programs are written by people they don't know or will ever
meet. More often then not they (the boot codes) contain a
virus which will obviously be detrimental to their computer or
they contain a trojan which crackers use to get your
passwords, account information, credit card numbers or
whatever information they desire. Not to mention that booting
someone out of chat is lame in itself and the
cowards way out. Then when you combine the fact that
you have an excessive amount of assholes
with all the new users
launching script kiddies your talking about a not so fun time.
The worst is the experienced users who still find the need to
boot and harass other users for their own sick enjoyment. I
have often wondered if anyone is aware of the ignore button
anymore, yes it's still there and easy to use. I often use the
ignore button to silence poo people (poo people=lamers with a
bad home life) from interrupting my chat with persons of
actual interest. These individuals sole purpose in life is to
wreck any constructive or good time going on in chat. If they
can't find their usual subjects of ridicule they'll most
certainly find someone to torment. I find that these people
mostly suffer from the B.H.L syndrome (boring home life) or
they just plain hate their own miserable existence. Well that's
fine with me if they hate their life just leave it at home and
get help they shouldn't bring their hatred to chat it only
makes it worse for themselves. By this I mean that anyone who
could offer support will probably not because they have burned
their proverbial bridge.
Making enemies is something
that no one should strive at in their life its something you
try not to do. In the end we all only have each other and
booting, harassing and generally being a dick only spreads us
apart. So lets lose the boot codes and utilize the ignore
button more to
get ride of unwanted noise.
Thanx, PLD
