This question is just a generalized question. It is in no means an attempt as a threat, attack, harassment, flame, and/or blacklisting of any specific individual user, GM, CSR, CL, and/or any alias herein.


I would like everyone's opinions, but please respect my rules for the forum thread as I will most indefinitely respect your opinions. I will not flame, blacklist, harass, and/or attack you for them. So please feel free to express your opinion as it applies only to the question.


If I were to say to you:

"I'll have this matter handled in a different way"

Would you or would you not take that as a threat and/or attack on your person being?


Please voice your opinion as well as voting on the poll. The poll however, will not have the name enabled, as I do not need to see who voted. I just need the votes for my personal purposes.

(No specified time limit on the poll, feel free to tell others to vote)

I feel like whoever said that may be seeking help from a person who has more authority over the subject, so they don't have to be the bad guy when you get punished. >< you dig?

Hmm...
you know, I'm not so sure. o.o

It could either be an attack or someone going to report you or something~

But it definitely feels kind of negative..

When you go to school and a teacher treat you a way it's unfair...

"I'll have this matter handled in a different way"

For me it just means I'm gonna find another way to take care of it O.o?
Not something that negative is it?

Edit: If you answer the poll, be polite and answer your opinion! It would be most appreciated I guess O.o!

For me it would depend on the situation, based mainly on how I know you, what the issue is, and who's around. If it's a friend, for example, I'd stop and take it as advice, but if it's an argument I'd question what's going on.

Depends on the way it was delivered. If someone was arguing with a person and they said that then I would take it as an attack or threat of one. If friends where talking and one suggested something another said that then I would say it had a different meaning to it. Voted undecided because option was not given that I described

Vote undecided: I think it all depends on the context, who said it, what their relation is to you (friend? someone of authority? etc.), as well as what the matter even is. If it was someone of authority, they could be protecting you from harsher punishment. Or it could be the complete opposite, and they're making a harsher punishment from the usual. Maybe if it was a friend who said it, and wants a diplomatic way to choose choices instead of my turn then your turn. If it was a co-worker, they could just be brushing you off in your attempts to help with a matter.

"I'll have this matter handled in a different way." Really, that could mean anything depending on the context. So it could be taken as an attack on your person or it could be a completely innocent phrase. The only thing that you can divine from it is that there is a problem and the solution is going to be different than the normal way of handling it.

Lmao,

Nice guidelines to your thread,
It's gloriously unnecessary

Anyway, my answer would have to be no but it'd depend on how you say it..
Nice job at making an annoying set of rules though.

To me...its negative, like that person finds your way of doing it worthless, and won't even give it a chance. @_@
