Suddenly it's amusing to me and I can actually laugh very very hard at these people.

So your solution to people ridiculing you is to dehumanize them and them ridicule them based on your own fictitious image of them? Glad to see so many people taking the high road -.-

I find this refreshing and funny as well. Now I have this mental picture of these people and I have you to thank for it.

lmao his mental image reminded me of a southpark episode :P

As a tank, I'll say this. Practically every dungeon run is a test of my sanity as a human being. People pulling for me, healer switching to cleric stance and DPSing (not healing me), not following marks, not communicating what they want sleeped, and so forth. If I'm a bit snippy, there's a reason. I'm not entitled or anything like that, it's four or five runs a day with people like that wear on my nerves.

I think you missed the point, but you are certainly entitled to your interpretation. Far be it from me to point that out. For the record I never said it and others did not say it the way you are portraying it. I said its amusing and so did others. Really your lack of interpretation surprises me. All though I will give you credit as you as well admit its a fictitious image. However this does not negate the said issue that has been brought up in this forum. So kindly at least have to common decency to address what was originally posted. This will be my last post as I am not at odds with your disposition.

Edit: Also I would like to confirm that indeed it gave me a mental picture.

Umm I don't even say anything to these people lol. I just said that's how I picture them so instead of them irritating me, it amuses me and I can laugh at how they are behaving rather than getting frustrated.

Also please don't justify people who act like this. If they are going to go out of their way to be rude and treat other peoples like crap, why should anyone care how people retaliate against them?

I get the point, just still don't see how this does anything except cause more of a rift between players while making you feel self-gratified in your own ethical superiority.

Side note, the whole "this will be my last post" thing, while it may have only the purest of intent, comes off to the person you're addressing it to as very condescending and patronizing. There are better ways to refocus the topic than to just brush someone you disagree with aside as irrelevant.

I just take issue with the eye for an eye mentality of it all. If a player is rude, that doesn't justify being rude back to them. Then you just have 2 rude people instead of 1. I'm in no way trying to justify the first person being rude either, just pointing out that being rude back doesn't make you the good guy.
It's wrong to kick people in the shins. But if someone comes over and kicks you in the shins, that doesn't mean you should kick them in the shins in retaliation. I don't see why people interpret this as me saying it's okay for the first person to kick you in the shins.

You should never dehumanize anyone.
But you can totally laugh at the idea that they're acting like a basement dwelling stereotype.

Shouldn't people be at work? Lol talk about priorities
