There is an article I wrote on how professionalism and manners go hand in hand in a game such as Starcraft 2. It isnt that long but I feel it explains the gist of things. I wrote it to help out a few friends of mine learn to cope with anger issues and raging in a gaming atmosphere. Hope you all like it.
________________________________-
I would like to take the time to refresh a simple and easy way to get by in life while gaining the respect of others...It's called manners. It seems as the years go by, more people are spoiled in the high tech and liberal world than ever. I see two main problems that kill manners. One is that people tend to either have been raised in a household that simply is without manners, or have lost them as they became young adults in a confusing and frustrating world.
Those individuals can be subjected to what most would call cynicism, which is an attitude or state of mind characterized by a general distrust of others' apparent motives or ambitions with a general lack of faith or hope in the human race, or in certain individuals ,therefore deserving of ridicule or admonishment. It is a form of jaded negativity.
We as people have opinions and emotions, and we are entitled to them. However, the ball stops there. Taking your opinions and forcing them on others, calling someone stupid, or ignorant only reflects on you, by the choice of words you use. The point you make never stands ground the minute you lose control. People view this as being rebellious and strong minded. However, it is just the opposite and shows weakness.
Now, it is not easy, I have had times in life where I go off on people. I used to always blame the other person for my rage. In fact I created or further instigated my own anger by not letting it go! I made myself look uneducated, and realized that by blaming the other people; all I did was "not” accept responsibility for my own actions.
So the next time we game in Starcraft 2 and some random player causes issues; please realize that by returning fire, you fell right into their troll trap. Being clear minded, and learning to let stuff go will not only allow a happier gaming environment, it will allow you to focus on real game play techniques, and not just coming up with excuses for your loss that get you nowhere. Balance issues, race discrepancies, ect are ok to discuss, and doing so on an educated level will not only relax your mind, it will earn some respect across with other players. Image is important, especially in a game like Starcraft 2. Remember that being professional, starts only by practicing professionalism.

Not offering advice at cost. I have nothing to gain except hopefully reaching out to a troll or two haha. My site is strictly a gaming site that is non profit so again I have nothing to gain. If I offend anyone then let me know.

Your post is lacking meat. Add more beef like quotes from the article. It's much better than basically just posting a link and praying.
Edit: Much better 
|
maybe post it here.
otherwise this is advertising, and will be closed.
|
post the article here and give people something to discuss
|
I also support TL, Reddit, and 4 chan with links to their site. (and long time faithful memberships to all 3).
|
Should be in blog to be honest.
And when I clicked on the site i feel like i went back to 2001

It looks like a WoW guild site I made when I was 14

This is not about the site. It is about respect. So hopefully kids can learn some. Honestly I would like some educated feedback.
|
Many people have already explained that this will be considered advertising. Reasoning that you support TL doesn't really mean much because the rules are rules.
|
Calling people kiddies must be some new form of showing respect.

Where is the professionalism in calling users in your post "kiddies"?
|
I changed the post from the original already. It seems anything worth while is trolled, and everything not important or not educated is accepted. Next time I will make sure to post a picture of a squirrel wearing sunglasses to appeal to the masses. Jeez
|
Kiddie is not derogatory. It simply is slang that means young, which kinda seems like I hit the nail on the head with some people. Please refrain from non relevant conversation.
|
Have more of a persecution complex. Who the Fuck are you to lecture me or anyone else about respect.
|
Real men just say what they think and be blunt about it. Also, would blog be more appropriate? I cannot tell.
|
And yes, kiddies is derogatory.

this is too funny. write a blog about manners, call people kiddies. el oh el
|
Its pretty cool that you can write an article about respect, then go on to call the tl users kiddies ^_^
...
Also, do you have any education in psychology or something similar that would make you more qualified to write this article than me? I kinda want to know this comes from, if it is actually worth something.
[EDIT]: It seems like you wrote this article to members of your clan, like this is some sort of invitation/advertisement for people to join your clan???
