Subject: Whats Up With all the Hate?

You are now reading my signature, the following proceeds as the amazing group i am in and the best person in Bungie.net who i am not stalking at al... >.>

Xhavalor is amazing <3

The Flood just has a reputation to be on the stupid side. If you see me hate, I'm hating on part of the Flood. Not everyone there is stupid, I know that. Reputaions can be powerful.

I think the root cause of this "hate" stereotype is the idea that those who would prefer to frequent the Community forum see themselves as "higher ups" than those of the Flood. We are all the same here. A mix of Bungie and Halo fans that want to converse in various different topics. However, humanity in general has never been good with realizing that we are all members of the same species so I'll just sum my ideas up with, "Humans are stupid."

Ya know what I hate?

The Flood CONSTANTLY being dragged into the Community forum.
Why in the heck can't each forum stay separate to itself? Why are individuals repetitively dragging the dirt from it in here?

It seems as though every week about 1/4 of the threads in here are about some grievance to do with that forum. It doesn't seem that this has helped anything in the past, nor will it in the future. All you are doing is spreading the crap to another place.

If you don't like the Flood, stay out of it. I do. But it perpetually ends up here anyhow.

Everyone's views on hate are different; so you can't come up with a collective answer as to why the hate happens - it just does. People are going to hate things for what may seem the most sophomoric reasons to you, but that might not be so to them; it's relative.

I think this as well.

Another thing to add: as cliched as is sounds, hate really is a pretty strong word. I mean, think about it. Anybody on here who literally HATES any facet of this site (The Flood included) should, in all honesty, take a good hard look at their priorities in life and consider revising them.

For a website to elicit such a negative emotional reaction from something as impersonal as the existence of a forum other than the one you frequent is absurd at the very least (without even having a maximum level of confusion and ridiculousness due to the outlandishness of said situation).

Given that, I don't think anyone hates The Flood. I don't think most people even comes close to having any sort of negative emotional response towards The Flood. Now, if The Flood killed your childhood dog or slapped your mother in the face, I could understand a level of deeply seeded resentment and, maybe even hate. But The Flood, isn't capable of these things and therefore I think that your assertion (OP) that there are people who hate The Flood as much as you say they do is at least mistaken.

Also, I think you're very much so overestimating the number of people who think that they're "better" than the average floodian. Ignoring the fact that the word "better" could mean an infinite number of things, people could very well think that the Septagon is a more enjoyable place to converse with the Bungie.net community (as in its population, not the forum titled "Bungie.net Community"). They can think its LOADS more enjoyable and that to be confined to just the Flood forum would be a fate worse than death. However, I do not think that anywhere near the amount of people you seem to be inferring, OP, assert a sort of moral and visually/mentally manifested dominance over the people who regular that forum instead of that person's forum of choice (Universe, Septa., Reach, what have you).

I think people just simply dislike visiting the Flood forum and use hyperbole to express that fact.

I personally am almost NEVER serious when I say things like my first quote in the OP (and wasn't at the time). I joke about the Flood because I don't like going there and, quite frankly, it's the thing to do.

The fact that you're getting so worked up about it is, if I may once again speak frankly, more troubling to me than your alleged elitism you're discussing in the OP. (This comparison is, of course, assuming said elitism exists at the level you're saying it does.)

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

You would be surprised how hateful people are on this site.

A community isn't a community without a little but of hating/tension/whatever it is those people are talking about in the threads; going on once in a while.

Riiiiiight. So calling The Flood hell equals to me hating on a forum. I'm so filled with my own ego and I'm so immature. Feel free to quote, Mr. Awesome.

The internet, it's serious business people! Elitism! Hate!

I hate The Flood so much that I post there often and laugh alongside those people called Floodians. Oh, yeah, because the website and the community is divided by forums. People who post in the Community Forum are prohibited from posting in The Flood and vice versa.

Boys, I'm not turning. I'm headed for a land that's far away, besides the crystal fountains. So come with me, we'll go and see The Big Rock Candy Mountains.

It sounded like you were hating in my honest opinion. If you weren't, then I'm sorry. But now your just being a jerk.
