You (should) learn by playing the game, this is a game, not real life.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. Your comment is not related to the context of mine.

Actually he used to properly for the point he was trying to make.

Where Apples to Apples is more so two things that can be reasonable compared, it's much like saying "Well it doesn't matter how we do it, it's 6 of one and half dozen of another." meaning the two things are close enough in comparison, that there is no real difference between them

Comparing Apples to Oranges refers the fact that two things cannot be compared, there is a distinct difference between the two. It's more like saying "How can you compare the weather in the summer to how it is in winter, they are nothing alike." The whole point of Apples to Oranges is just basically to say there is no point or connection with such a comparison.

So by saying apples to oranges, he was simply stating that he believes comparing human history and the development of all species cannot correlate to people with bad attitudes in an online game trying to force people to play the game the way they think the person should, or harassing them, or calling them names etc.

I thought it was a pretty straight forward comparison. As the concept is exactly the same as the example used.

I thought it was a pretty straight forward comparison. As the concept is exactly the same as the example used.

That is why I said, it is correct based off the point that he was trying to make. Apples to apples, and apples to oranges are based off ones opinion, and seeing that everyone does not have the same opinion there will be conflicts. Now personally, do I think you can compare the history of all existence to bad attitudes in a game... I think it's stretching it.

But with that said... if we do compare it. Would the people who act like this in the game, call people names, harass them and tell them they suck do this to complete strangers if they were face to face? Probably not.

It is called a Online Disinhibition Effect, and I quote:

Psychologist John Suller wrote a paper on this in 2004, entitled "The Online Disinhibition Effect", where he explored six factors that could combine to change people's behaviour online. These are:

• dissociative anonymity ("my actions can't be attributed to my person")
• invisibility ("nobody can tell what I look like, or judge my tone")
• asynchronicity ("my actions do not occur in real-time")
• solipsistic Introjection ("I can't see these people, I have to guess at who they are and their intent")
• dissociative imagination ("this is not the real world, these are not real people")
• minimizing authority ("there are no authority figures here, I can act freely")

The combination of any number of these leads to people behaving in ways they wouldn't when away from the screen, often positively -- being more open, or honest -- but sometimes negatively, abusing their fellow internet users in ways they wouldn't dream of offline.

Internet psychologist Graham Jones believes that to a certain extent the kind of aggressive behaviour often seen online happens in the real world. "Having said that, there is a feature of the online world that makes such negative behaviour more likely than in the real world," he says. "In the real world people subconsciously monitor the behaviour of others around them and adapt their own behaviour accordingly... Online we do not have such feedback mechanisms."

Jones looks to offline social changes for inspiration, another aspect of life that is criminal but near impossible to effectively police: "Rather like drink-driving, the best way of dealing with online negative behaviour is to make it socially unacceptable."

So I would more so lean towards this... than comparing a person's attitude in a game to the history of all existence. I, personally, am the first... more so worried that I might offend or hurt someone so I try to be kind to everyone. Am I always? No, but usually it due to someone attacking me first. But as I say, I treat everyone the same until you change my opinion of you.
