emote spamming lala's

It almost sounds like you are looking for reasons to get people in trouble just because they annoy you.

I disagree with that mindset. Is it annoying when people fill up the chat box with useless stuff like emotes, sure. But so what? As long as they are not filling it up with racial slurs and hateful comments I fail to see a problem other than a few other people getting annoyed.

If it is okay for one guy to spam the chat log it is also okay for the 30 people around to do so.

They have no respect for other people and so we shouldn't have any for them.

I believe that attitude is what is wrong with a lot of the world today. Just because other people are being jerks should not make it okay for you to be a jerk to them. That instigates a never ending cycle of people being petty and cruel to each other. Oftentimes people are annoying because they are looking for attention. Just don't give them the attention.

No I don't, what do they say?

Also, where did I make an assumption??

You know the answer to both of those questions.

I can understand where Sesera is coming from; no one is obliged to respect someone else's disrespect.

What I don't understand, is your needless contrarianism in an attempt to take a moral high ground over a very clear cut example of disruptive behavior, something that's against the game's ToS.

And no, ignoring a problem by shoving it under a rug doesn't accomplish anything. 'Not giving attention' might as well by synonymous with complacency; it already is in a lot of situations.

I am not attempting to take any moral high ground or moral superiority. If my statements came across that way, then I would like to state that that was not my intent. What I have a problem with is when people confuse a companies ToS agreement with a person's right to speak. A ToS will always fail in the court of law when it's up against a person's basic human rights.

I don't like when people annoy me either. I don't like when people fill chat logs with useless emotes. But I will always defend someone's right to do those types of things as long as they are not truly hurting another person. I don't care about people's feelings as much as I care about their basic rights.

In this day and age we are seeing more and more examples of companies who claim to be a public forum and then trample the rights of people who participate in that public forum, all in the name of a ToS agreement. I think it's wrong. And I really don't understand why people seem to let is slide so often. If the communities of these public forums don't stand up for their rights to freedom of speech, then pretty soon their will be none.

Some may think this is just a game forum, or a chat within in a game, but it's really more than that.
