It's clear to almost anyone here that you're tactless, baal.

I have never heard a funny rape joke. I have never heard a funny brutal & vulgar joke. I have never heard a funny Andrew Dice Clay joke. Yet I have openly laughed at a few dead baby jokes and said, "that's awful" afterwards. Go figure.

What's the point of a [bunch of kids killing each other] if you can't find a little humor in it?
What's the point of a [cell of terrorists blowing up a building] if you can't find a little humor in it?
What's the point of a [family being burned alive in a fire] if you can't find a little humor in it?
Thanks, Daria writers.

People using "..." at the end of each sentence to look smarter, when they're saying something just plain boring and predictable.
People repeating what others have said a billion times in the same thread.
New and completely clueless posters that think what they're saying is revolutionary when all they're really doing is repeating a random post someone else made or getting on a bandwagon.
Generalising based on ONE example.
People assuming they have the experience or mental capacity to make a valid post about game balance. Few people are qualified to do that, you are not. Get over it and stop posting about balance.
Using "IMO" where it is not needed. Either denotes how much of a coward the poster is, being afraid to stand up for what they think or shows that they can't have a strong enough opinion on anything.
Native English speakers that can't spell properly or have bad grammar.
People that make long-ass posts that could have easily been summarised in 2 paragraphs.
Writing [Red]NaDa instead of Nada, [Oops]Reach instead of Reach or 'SlayerS'_BoxeR instead of Boxer and then not communicate anything in the post.
Those saying "someone should test it" when referring to a random "balance fixing" idea. (Hey, let's make probes cost 45 mins and mutas hatch 4 seconds later. Would fix everything IMO, but someone should test it).
Giving advice in the strategy forum when you don't know what you're talking about and are only comparing whatever you're looking at to what pros are doing.
Random players describing what they do in a game situation ("well, I like to use speed zeal and storm vs mass hydras"), leaving the impression it's them and only them that are doing it, or that it's their style, when, yet again, it's only a poor copy of progamers' style.
Ignorant teenagers assuming they know more about a country from what a "teacher said" than someone living in that country.
Edit: Having an uncontrollable urge to edit my posts even though I read them thoroughly before posting, just so that I don't have to edit them right after.

This doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. Senseless tragedy has no point (at least to the people who find it tragic), and that is largely what makes it so tragic.

People who 'play for fun'. For example when someone is trying to get/is offered help in strategy section and after good advices the guy just says something like: "YAYA I know iam not supposed to do that and that but I play for fun LOLZ!" People who use the I play for fun line in b.net after losing a game piss me off too.

Well, college should go to chinese rape victims families and tell them a few jokes about WW2 to lighten their spirits. I would do research, find addresses, and pay the flight to China for him from my own pocket so long as we got a video camera or t.v. crew to watch the beating that would ensue.
Now that actually would be funny.

people who leave their ID name at the end of each post.... like this
ID: blah123 "Blah blah blah"
-blah123
Holy shit that annoys the hell out of me, especially when the post is really short. We KNOW IT'S YOU, THERE'S AN ID UP THERE FOR A REASON! I don't know why this annoys me so much but jeez.... [/rant]
Jeez, this is Mynock! xDDDD

i didnt say you were an hypocrit i meant people are, like Testie acting so self righteous when he is an egomaniac asshole with no word.
When was the last time anyone of the idiots who got soooooooooo ofended by the picture did shit to help famine in africa, how much of their income.
I guess it probably makes them feel good you know, to act repulsed by a silly joke, they might fool themselves and think they actually have empathy, maybe that makes them feel like better persons than they really are.

I know what you mean, but just because people don't donate to the African plight doesn't make things like this funny.
I don't need to donate half my pitiful salary to know my mom's lymphoma isn't ripe for comedy.

This doesn't change the fact that you are an asshole for joking about dying toddlers.
