What planet are you from where their internet doesn't breed people who constantly act like ***?

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but the overwhelming majority of my posts have been sincerely nice. However, I will say one thing, the few mean-esque posts I've made were definitely not out of the blue or because someone disagreed with me.

I could care less how good of a player someone is, to be honest. If anything, I've often found myself posting in the defense of weaker players on this forum. However, it does irritate me when posters claim to be "Elite" in order to add weight to their arguments and suppress everyone else. I may consider myself a high tier player, but that simply means I may have a different perspective on things; not that my view is more important than those of everyone else. When certain players try to do this, calling themselves elite (especially when they're not) and using that as the entire basis of attacks on others or to add weight to their views, I will most certainly call them out on it.

Everyone starts out with respect. With well thought out posts, intelligent discussion, civil argument (even when I'm wrong), or other meaningful contributions to the community, respect can be gained. With trash posts, caps lock or bolded ranting at others for not agreeing with them, or basically anything Starcade's said, respect can be lost. I cannot apologize for being stern with players who have chosen to demean themselves in such a way. I'll gladly have a civil discussion with anyone who wants one, but I won't waste my time putting well thought out posts together if the recipient isn't going to read it anyways.

There's a huge difference between someone liking ketchup and ramen together, and someone telling others that Twilight belt is better than Black belt for Monk. It isn't. One is an opinion, the other is simply false.

Not completely correct. In the one persons opinion it is better, in the others it isn't. It still revolves around a players opinion. Even if the majority's opinion says its not. It is still the persons opinion that it is. You can post your opinion on a subject, thats your opinion/suggestion. No one should start bashing another player just to force them to agree. Make your opinion and let them figure it out for themselves. Or continue to discuss the opinions w/out bashing, like we are now. I'm not going to force my opinion on you, just hope that you take my words into consideration.

This is patently incorrect, unfortunately. It's not really of "Well I like Orange more than Yellow", or "Well I like Red more than Blue". If the question is "Which belt contributes more damage to a Monk, Twilight belt or Black belt?" The answer is Black belt. Pure and simple. It is not an opinion, it is an easily provable fact backed by very simple mathematics.

5 > 4 is not an opinion. If it is someone's opinion that 3 is larger than 7, that person is wrong, opinion or not.

Lol, well I never said ones opinion is wrong or not. I just said it is they're opinion. Even if they are proven wrong. It is still they're opinion. They have to learn for themselves. And shouldn't be bashed for. It still leads back to my original topic. A person shouldn't be bashed. There is absolutely no reason to bash anyone other than to deal with your aggrovation or boost your own ego. If someone is being an idiot even if you point out the truth to them you shouldn't bash them just ignore them and move on. Let them fall prey to they're own miscomings if they don't want to listen. How does a child learn what "hot" is? Its not because a grown up tells them. They will keep trying to touch it until they find out it is hot. then they Learn. Sounds like thats what this person needs. If he/she doesn't listen then they simply need to try it and learn they are wrong. Some people you cannot convince unless they do it themselves. And sometimes even then they won't believe it.

The OP of that topic was pretty much covering his ears and saying, "La la la la." He shouldn't be receiving sympathy from anyone for getting bashed.

I could care less whether or not someone believes something which is incorrect. Players can believe that trees are made of bubble gum and rainbows and it doesn't bother me one bit. Just don't expect people to sit back quietly if these players try and *teach others* that Trees are made of bubble gum and rainbows. They're not.
