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.
