They lack the epic background music though. Soooooo more like late night Cinimax when you watched the blurry fuzzy lines and thought you saw a boob once?
Edit - Damn that makes me feel old.

Don't worry friend. I too know the pain of Skinimax or Spice channel squiggle-vision style and the sexual frustration that ensues from it. LoL.

Well, taking it to PMs is like the equivalent of taking it outside for a rumble...so I think that if you call it out to take it to PMs you automatically look more like the badass.

Zergmeister was just banned by p4NDemik.
That account was created on 2011-08-04 01:39:34 and had 56 posts.
Reason: "The last thing i want to say is: Do not confuse yourself for the sc2 community. You are the TeamLiquid community, the most selfish and closedminded community out there. Hell, even KKK are open to debate about their belives, hence they are not really racists anymore."
The fuck? Since you don't want to be a part of TL anymore I'll just show you the door.
I assume he has some experience in Ye Olde KKK Debate Society?
But it's TLO time at the NASL so I officially cannot care less anymore. DAT BEARD

Nah, it's a desperation ploy. It's like taking the fight outside because you know most of the people who saw the argument want to keep drinking and watching the big game, so less people will see you get your ass kicked.

My main problem with this is the fact that certain community members feel like they are entitled to decide how someone can or can not talk. If you don't like how someone presents themselves, that's your right, but do you really feel the need to take it to this level? Not only are you endangering a players career, a player that asks nothing from you except that you watch his games but even worse, you're endangering an entire team. . Just as Destiny feels like he's entitled to use whatever language he likes against anyone he likes, there are other people who feel entitled to report said language to his team and sponsors. What goes around comes around. Nothing too complicated about that. The difference being that one causes no actual harm and the other does. are you saying that racial slurs dont cause any harm? Oh words can hurt someones feelings sure, but this isn't direct quantifiable harm. Going after someones money has a direct and quantifiable effect that isn't in any way subjective or relative. Words spoken by a stranger over the internet hold no more power than you attribute to them. I'm not saying that being called a gook didn't hurt the OP's feelings because I have no way of knowing if they did or didn't, but I do know that messing with a person's ability to make money does cause damage. Actual, real, quantifiable damage. Try an experiment to see which one is worse: call your dog a gook every day for ten days and see what happens, then don't feed it for ten days. you said it caused no actual harm, and now you are saying it can hurt your feelings. what exactly are you saying? oh, and btw, nice example, you know my dog doesnt speak english, right? Ok then that's settled, its ok to call people gooks as long as they don't speak english. and thus ended my argument in that thread.

Wow...his argument really seemed to close up into a small, tight, nice little box there, didn't it? It is okay to say or do mean things as long as they person does not know you are being mean to it. Fuck yeah.

I used to do it and I got my report button early as a result. So im sure its fine if there is a good reason for it and its especially bad.
Don't do it in a slow moving thread, most people will have already used their button. In a fast thread the chance that it gets missed is higher though so def do it for those if its really bad.
