I've felt this way since the beginning, but I've never really let it happen.
As some or most of you may know I'm a rather mild-mannered poster on Team Liquid. Never been in a flame war. Never called anyone names seriously. Never argued with anyone in IRC. The only time I was ever banned was for that cool story bro thread. I didn't know it was against the rules but I got what I deserved. Anyway. Credentials aside.
Anyone ever take a look at all the bad posts and posters and get the urge to just fuck it all up? Kill that clean record? Ever since StarCraft 2 came out I've been getting this urge here and there. I just want to quote every one of these bad posts with the comment "yeah... I think you're full of shit." Or find some random admin (Like Plexa, my favorite admin!) and quote some bullshit and stir up a storm. Then get banned and rant in IRC about it until I get banned from that too. Then play SC2 and BM everyone.
I would never do any of that stuff though. But I think about it all the time.
Is this normal?
Is this like your average "One of these days I'm gonna shoot this place up!" rampage?
What's wrong with me?
everytime i read any sc2 topic i get this urge soooo bad

I don't really feel this way on TL... but every time I am around a large group of people and everyone is silent/acting normal I get this urge to say/do something obscene. It's more like a horrifying fear that somehow manifests itself -like when I see something scary I get the urge to look at it again.
LOL i feel the urge to do that all the time! hahaha
but yeah i really just stay away from SCII threads. ignorance is bliss!

Used to feel the urge a lot and I'd actually act upon it quite often. Nowadays I maintain an apathetic attitude towards everything so not many things phase me.
|
Hahaha, this is exactly how I feel whenever I read the sc2 forums mostly. And sometimes I do break and I point out the million stupid things in a person's post, but right now I have just limited my posting to control myself.
|
yes, I have been getting this urge more and more frequently as of late
it's mostly the imba this imba that, correct this now correct that now, "I think blizzard are complete morons for not correcting this obviously serious issue" threads
and the pseudo-hippie-ideological-theories-everyone-come-and-argue-with-me-right-now-even-though-it's-obvious-you-ain't-gonna-change-my-mind-whatever-you-say threads
also any threads that get merit simply because they have long OPs with nice pictures but when you think about it their entire post is based on a single shitty idea or several unfounded assumptions/biases in their thinking
oh and any threads where people start raging and talking shit against various parties when they don't even realize that they have perhaps 1% of the whole picture in front of them and that they're making massive emotionally-fueled and illogical assumptions
yeah,
i'm starting to feel the urge
|
oh man the things I'd like to say : >!! TL.net has taught me how to control my will power.
|
i always have the urge to troll the shit out of people, but i'm not sure i understand the mods' respective senses of humor well enough to pull it off, especially since the advent of the sc2 banhammer.

i have that urge right now actually
i had to edit out a post
im just in a bad mood right now i guess lol
|
I'm surprised I haven't been temp-banned yet.
I walk a very fine line sometimes, but I guess I usually stop just short.
|
I do all the time. I just wish people thought critically about what they're saying before they posted- most people think emotionally, which just isnt good for proper debate.
Usually I start typing something out and then after 3 paragraphs, realize its TLDR-worthy and hit the back button.

The "report" button keeps me sane. Instead of flaming the morons, I now just report them for trolling or ad hominem attacks.

For sure , theres plenty of naive people on here.
I remember once some kid made a blog complaining about this job agency he gave 50 bucks to - they found him a job in some factory.He left the job at like lunchtime and was disgusted they couldn't find him anything good so he wrote a blog on here asking if he should sue the agency to get his 50 bucks back.
It was embarrassing to read , a search would probably dig it up.Hard to believe people are so naive not to realise how fucked the US economy actually is? Kid should have just taken the job till he could find something better but i guess he prefers to sit at his parents place playing video games all day or whatever.

was far less common before the release of SC2

I only feel that way when I myself have anger stored up and need a vent. Letting it out on the tl forums isn't exactly the best idea as you pointed out.
Usually I scan the pages for posters I know and like so I won't get pissed off by crappy posters doing their business.
Only once I was really angry and went on IRC to complain because Chill closed a blog of mine (with a perfectly fine, slightly chauvinistic insider joke!) but nobody listened so that was that 
|
i feel you bro. i see endless comments and ideas that are so factually baseless that it makes me angry and want to shake the person violently screaming WHATS WRONG WITH YOU! The problem I have is that I care too much. Someone who has obviously wrong ideas I feel with just a little logical explanation will see the truth, but that never ends up being the case.
What I learned I have to do is just not give a shit. You gotta let it slide because there is WAAAY too much ignorance out there to try and set everyone straight.
|
Pretty much every time someone quotes me and disagrees with something I say in the SC2 forums. Not because I absolutely have to be right, but because they say the most retarded things that seek to defy not just my argument but every commonly held principle of Starcraft strategy or gameplay we have known for years, out of their own sheer all encompassing ignorance of everything Starcraft related.
So I either go back and break down everything into the most simplistic terms, which takes forever and there's no guarantee they won't completely fail to understand that as well, or I rage at them and get warned/temp banned, or I just stop and realize what a fruitless endeavor it all is

i have the urge sometimes, but then in the end, it's not really worth it.
