i understand very well that it provokes him. but this is a videogame, not a real war. there are times and places when you have to respect people, i think a videogame is not one of those places.

clearly, your boundaries and mine are different. you think it's off-limit to type 'noob' in a videogame. but if that person rages about something so simple, how do you think he will go through life? any criticism or negativity he will face, will be able to trigger his emotional unstability then, not just my 'oh so ruthless bm'. will you spoon feed him till hes 20 to protect him from being hurt ?

furthermore, i don't think the bm'ers are the douches, but the people who 'care' about manners in a videogame. its a videogame. videogame. you say my critics can be dick or reasonable, yes they can, but that doesn't neccesarily mean i agree from their standpoint.

Why draw arbitrary lines in the sand? Do you also think it's ok to be a dick to someone in a text message? On Skype? In the street? Where is the line? Why do you think it's ok to be a dick to someone in a game? The game world might not be real, but your interactions with other human beings are.

In any case, you don't need to necessarily "respect" your opponent. I meet plenty of people through games; many of them I respect, but many I do not - but that's no reason to be a dick. I can just... NOT be a dick. It isn't hard.


So you think that BECAUSE someone is upset, that validates you being a dick to them, because you're teaching them some kind of lesson? Are you really just a kind soul that's trying to help them out, is that it?
"I see you're upset at something, so to help you feel LESS upset about these kind of situations, I'm now going to be a dickhead to you. That'll give you thicker skin for the future!"


Why does it matter that it's a videogame? I refer to my initial point. You're just interacting with another human being. I don't see why it suddenly makes it ok to be a dickhead to people. Why not just..... NOT be a dickhead. Is it that hard?

why refer to a videogame? because a videogame is not to be taken seriously from, especially if you don't have a family and kids to feed from the tournament winnings you earn. why just not be a dickhead? well, i could. but then again, i see no point in doing so. why don't you give all your enemies free wins so they will feel better about themselves?

LOL, it's good to know that my time trying to explain the whole situation to you was well invested.

Sorry, dude, but I still think you are really clueless here. If your boundaries are that different from mine, then this thread is not for you... Did you read the rules?



No, you did not sit passively, and you were an aggressor by saying "lol 58 apm", which is bm in this right. Also, the fact that you were defending yourself when you were clearly out of line really ruins your integrity here.

Finally, you are in no position to give criticism to others especially towards that guy because you can't even handle a simple one yourself. I will say it again. If someone criticizes you, take a chill pill and THINK why they are saying such things. Despite their supposed hostility, they have a good reason to say something that you don't like.

Ok. Go play football with some people and yell abuse at them, then.

I mean why not? That's just for fun, not meant to be taken seriously, its not like any of them would be making a living off it. Its just a kickabout in a sports hall or on a field. So why not be a dick to them? There's no point not to. You like giving them free shots on goal so they can feel better about themselves?


Or maybe people DON'T do that because having some level of self-control not to be an asshole to people is a significant part being an adult. Something which people seem to regress on when they're online because of anonymity. People get away with childish behaviour like that because they can.

that's pretty ironic, telling me to take a chill pill since my posts 'defending' my opinion don't have any hint of aggression towards you. on the other hand, you calling me clueless, and telling my posts dont belong in here, using these fallacies to prove your point is err.. irrelevant. whether these posts belong here is not up to you to judge, but by the moderators.

also, i handle criticism pretty well myself. i am calm. i receive it, i just don't agree with it. everyone has an own opinion, you know? i do not care if they are friendly or hostile, as i'm not influenced by flaming, just provide me legit arguments. can you now have a mature discussion without calling names or thinking you have any authorization over me?

i think i understand the reason why people were turned off by my post. its because they like to whine about anything they can, just like naniwa's probe rush or his 'bad manner' handshakes.

i could be 'bm' towards them, if i feel like it. but i do not watch sports in a field or a sports hall. giving them free shots should be asked to you, since you're the one who has a problem towards making people feel upset for a slight moment. i do not have this problem so i have no idea why you're asking -me- that question.

i have self control. i apply it where ever i think its required. i quit smoking a few years ago without any effort really. you thinking a adult has to expel everything that's bad behaviour, but really, the little things don't matter.

In this case, you are posting on this thread. Then, you should follow this thread's rule and beliefs, which is mainly dictated by the majority (there is no specific moderator). If you don't like them, then you should at least try to clarify your case and justify how your post does not violate the thread's standards instead of trying to defend a perspective that is heavily looked down upon and dismissing the purists' complaints. To be honest, your post could have been passable to them and avoided this confrontation, if you just said that he started the bm and your message was simply a response to his bm, implying that your message AND behavior was not bm.

I won't nitpick your arguments, because they, though I heavily disagree with them, have their own merits. Okay, this is the last time I will illustrate the situation for you. If you continue to raise objections to what I am saying, then you're on your own because I do not know how much more I can break it down for you. Have a good day, and no hard feelings!

You implied that anyone who disagrees with BM should want to give free wins away, etc so that people wouldn't "feel bad". I'm merely pointing out that if you wouldn't BM people in person but also wouldn't give them free shots in a game then you're being hypocritical.

]And "little things" like basic common courtesy and not acting like a child trying to bully someone you mean? Sorry, I disagree. Actively trying not to be an arse to people is a very significant part of growing up.

i was merely curious why you didn't give free wins, since most of you are obsessed with preventing a person feeling 'bad'.

and i don't see it as bullying. i see it as teasing. but just for easier conversation we will say im 'bullying'. how severe will the damage be if i bully someone by saying, '58 apm'? will it cause society problems? will he slit his wrists? become a serial killer? i already covered that worst case scenario a couple of posts ago.
