It is ridiculous how people think it's unacceptable for elitist jerks to be, well, jerks. But no one bats an eyelash when upset players attempt to to liken another player who asks for more than their party is putting down, just for the sake of completing an encounter, to a bunch of people who get so upset about the quality of another player's performance that it becomes okay to start ruthlessly berating them.
Cool your hyperbolearies here. I'm not berating him, I said he was a jerk ... and so did you, so we agree! That's literally the scope of my argument. I think his behavior was bad because he typed things like a jerk would, you think "obviously if you're good you're going to be a jerk". That's fine, think whatever you want.

However, ignoring the social component of these games while trying to quantify skill is a mistake. If someone is so elite that playing with with their inferiors causes them physical pain, then they should take all that skill and do speed runs with people from their server and avoid DF altogether. You don't need to run dutyfinder.

Also look at any "got kicked because I died once ;_;" thread and you'll see the same thing. Acting like this thread represents the worst berating of anyone ever for posting about being kicked from a party is ridiculous. This is what you invite by posting on the forum. Obviously the people who kicked him broke the rules and are wrong. However there's a reason they broke the rules and treating this guy like some messianic figure because he got kicked for a different reason than normal is ridiculous.
