I've had my share of arguments with several members of this board. Here is what I realized, it doesn't matter if you are spreading the most logical argument with supported citations, people will keep on believing what they believe no matter what. This could either be due to troll reasons that "Yeah, I'm just going to pretend being stupid to get this guy to commit his time to create a writing piece when everybody knows that his points are just basic knowledge." This kind of guys are either easily detected due to their obvious usage of "  "/smirky emoticons or they pull off playing dumb extremely well. When you finish up the essay with irrefutable points, they simply don't post anything back or post "Ah okay, cool story bro." to get the final word in but you are placed in a situation where any offence you do at that point will make you looks like a extreme fool at worst or you don't exactly gain anything at the best when you don't respond to it.And the 2nd reason, and arguably the more prevalent one is the existence of one's ego. Once upon a time, there were people calling Columbus crazy for saying how the Earth was round and that he'll embark on a journey of death, which they are right, Columbus did take a massive risk going into his expedition, but although the risk of death was because of another reason. The point is that even though the majority of the people have a dissent over a certain concept or models, it doesn't mean that concept isn't factual. In another word, the perception of one's reality can be entirely made up due to social engineering of media influences. A good example is how Hitler utilized the media to light up the fire in German's hearts in order to fully synergize with his vision. The bottom line is: "Whoever controls the media, controls the people." So everybody have a different point of view of how to do view the world. Some are extremely rational, others falls more or less on the spectrum of delusion. So when you argue with someone, this could very well mean that the two are waging wars against each other over their ENTIRE raison d'etre. Some people are being fed one misconception throughout their entire life and they started devoting their 20, 30 or even more years to build their existence upon that one tiny little life brick. And when someone comes out of nowhere to absolutely shatters the very basic foundation of their philosophy, the brain goes into complete panic mode. Now this is where a person's rationality comes into play. If the person is rational enough to synthesize with the newly acquired concept/ideas/philosophy, then everybody wins, he breaks away from the matrix and correct his way of life. But however if he puts his ego before rationality, then he might say something to save face. However, I do believe that the "responsibility" to restore the loser of the argument also lies on the winner. When a person's entire center of gravity have been shifted, it is akin to waking up in the morning with all of your items being robbed and those voids needs to filled with something. That's when the winner, for moralistic reasons have to step in to create a new environment for the loser to thrive. But here is the crucial part, if the winner fill that void with absolute load of bullshit, the loser will sense it and completely reject the winner's previous point and shift back to his belief system while thinking "I knew this guy is full of it." But if the winner fill that void with well designed "furniture" and "artworks", then the loser will feel the revelation instead. So it is important for the winner to properly follow up instead of losing steam. But unfortunately, that's the idea situation. Most of the time, the one who at first wanted to help out the misinformed end up losing the patience. Most of the time, they can't even express their thoughts properly and convey them let alone actually walking the misguided ones through the concept and follow it up positively. This will end up backfiring by further fortifying the misguided's belief of "How can a person with such expressive ineptitude and lack of patience lecture me?" but then again, that's why psychiatrists exist as a profession. | ||

It's like TB is a weak adversary... and the guy is like the worst you could face in a argument. I would prefer to argue with Vladimir Poutin than with TB :p He's too good with words :p And damnit.. 4K$ a month. Would love to have a salary like that  (and i don't have a bad one)Maybe that's the same guy that wanted CombatEx back a while back ? | ||

What was MasterBlasterCaster banned for? Seems like a really odd thing to come back and register again only to plug ProTech. | ||

One semester we took Criminology, for God's sake! Criminology! Who the fuck were we studying to be: Batman? Whenever I hear about Criminology, I always think of this line from Clerks 2. I have nothing against the area of study, I would actually find it interesting, but this is pretty much an instant reaction. We should get him on the case. | ||

Maybe in 2012, Protech did his bouncing in and out of retirement, he was pretty much the only consistent 2s streamer that has ever been for SC2. I guess some remain, he is kind of an Avilo figure in my head, but just not as relevant to the scene as Avilo is presently. | ||

I think that's a really accurate comparison. Yeah, Protech is an odd one. I never liked his content but then again, I only liked 2v2s for about the first week I had SC2. There may be some correlation Eat my ass you nazi charity hating bastards User was temp banned for this post. CutTheEnemy was just temp banned for 2 days by KadaverBB. That account was created on 2013-11-08 08:07:47 and had 373 posts. Reason: Why so mad? Also when the title of the thread you made is, "fuck you mods," I have to ask: How mod you are bro? Seems like he was angry about no one responding to his ALS, Ice Bucket Challenge blog. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3VHF7rj.png) Was this his only blog post and Mods did away with it, or tabled it? I wanted to see if there was any other goodness. That being said DPB, I get the frustration, sucks to feel like you're talking to a wall, he went straight from seemingly zero, lets all be charitable, to 11, angry toddler in no time flat. | ||
