I just don't talk when I play.

Most people on ladder who say "gl hf" don't mean it. As soon as they start losing or lose they start to talk shit.

So basically, the only real reason you are even posting this here is to get your teams website / your team more attention, and because you want to float under the radar of advertising on TL, you wrote it as a heartfelt message as to why good manner is important on ladder.

I agree with your post but seriously, try to be a little more creative when your just blatantly advertising for your team / your teams website.

The irony is hilarious given how you write a post about manners and professionalism.

TL users in general are not kiddies. Some people are just young and obviously need a little respect. I'm sure a good amount of mature TL users can agree.

Okay, here's your feedback:

1. If you're going to ask for an educated discussion, don't call TL users kiddies when you don't know how old we are (in fact, I can nearly guarantee that you're not the oldest one browsing these forums) and
1a. Spell check and edit. I see multiple instances of poor editing and grammar that could be fixed by a read through. If you're going to ask for an educated discussion, write better.
2. I always gl hf at the beginning and gg when I lose, because there's a human being on the other end of the connection who may or may not be having a bad day, or going through a rough patch etc. who deserves to have a mannered experience when they sit down to ladder.

The article just doesn't really provide much for anyone. You could've written "manner up kthx" and gotten the same message across.

Also, professional just means it's something you do as your main source of income. The reason "professional" is often heard as a way to talk about proper conduct is because when you work for somebody, you're representing them and will lose your job if you act in a way different than what the employer intended (and if you're self employed you'll lose business by way of disgruntled customers). Your headline is about professionalism, but in the piece you only mention professionalism in your last line.

Your ideas in each paragraph are very loosely connected and don't offer much in the way of discussion or information. Some lines are unrelated to the surrounding lines, such as " It seems as the years go by, more people are spoiled in the high tech and liberal world than ever."

You even had the line "The point you make never stands ground the minute you lose control" and immediately after start insulting people.

I'm all for everyone acting nice to each other, but it just wasn't a good piece of writing and there's not much to discuss.

Well I know anyone with a mature attitude was not offended. The term kiddie is just a term I used to refer to children. If your not a child, or a disrespectful person like half the replies I have received so far, then I AM POSSITIVE you were not offended.

The irony of the OP's replies in this thread to criticism by "returning fire" is incredible.

the thing is, calling someone a child, when they are not one is disrespectful. it seems you don't understand this.

I already could foresee the trolling replies to this article. It proves my point. I did not return fire at anyone ever. I never once mentioned another user or quoted from another user. I simply defended myself in vein. Sorry for trying to post something sincere. Truly sorry.

I am sorry but I feel you have no morale high ground there. You should put down the high strung notes...

please, you are again trying to insult people that disagree with you, just subtly.

Why can`t you get some manners ad treat everyone with respect?

Not to mention that implying that if you are a kid you are automatically poorly educated and poorly mannered and disrespectfull is bigoty, to say the least.

If that's not returning fire to criticism, I don't know what is. You chose to call out the userbase of TL after posting an article linking to your site without also posting the article, an article that is actually about respect for anonymous people over the internet, and then turtle and deny when confronted about it. These responses aren't trolling, they're normal reactions to transparent motives.
