It's not the term so much as they way it was used. You were obviously annoyed because people weren't replying in the way you wanted. So you threw out that term in a derogatory manner, you had no way to know the age of the people you were talking to.

Also calling people kiddies, kid, etc etc is a very common form of BM whether you realise it or not.

Nice post, CFNightphox.
Why not act ''professional'' and apologize?

The irony here abounds. Dude, you have to practice what you preach; if you write about professionalism, you can't go around attacking people on forums who haven't done anything to you .

I dont need to prove to anyone my professionalism. I know I am a caring person who just tried to give a little insight to some people. If it offered nothing for you, then move on. If it did then I at least put a seed of truth in a few folks. For those of you who had to take the time out to be negative, I can't defend myself against people who refuse to look at the big picture of my post, and make micro points on things that are irrelevant. Again, I ask for only replies to the topic as it stands in its entirety. Thank you all.

No, man, I don't think you understand: it's not an attack if he does't use the quote button.

None of that means that you act in a professional manner. Please learn the definition of the word before you try to preach about it. Also, stop talking. You're making your team look TERRIBLE.

This seems to have imploded upon itself.

The article was interesting, short, but interesting. I'm not convinced that the writer of the article has been able to convince himself, let alone anyone else, of the importance of manners, though. I suppose it's a multiple-step program of rehabilitation. One does not simply manner up.

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.

the way I see it, no one was trolling. you are simply equating people who dislike your post/site is a troll, you got the definition of troll wrong.
and most of us aren't a professional, why do we need to show manner because of professionalism?
not that I disagree with your whole post though. (you will miss half the fun of sc2 if you don't balance whine lol)

This article totally changed my life. I used to start my games by telling my opponent off. This surprise attack usually threw them for a loop and was distraction enough for my classic 6 worker rush TM to win me the game. Top NA Bronze here. Not feeling satisfied I'd message them afterwards with details of my late nights with their mothers.

But now. My god. My eyes have been opened and my world shattered by this article. I know now that in order to succeed in anything, life, starcraft, mud wrestling, etc I must needs display manners. Force out manner words while I make sarcastic remarks! Genius! I can feel myself about to reach masters.

Thank you so much OP! You've made me a life time fan of your team and your website is now my homepage.

My heart grew 10 sizes this day. And surely world peace is soon to follow.
