"I Was Out of That!" (Some Life Lessons)

[Anapingofness]

This isn't simply about the "watch a video" vs "don't watch a video" crowd.
Personally, I think it's a little bit from Column A and a little bit from Column B.
Players by and large need to have more personal responsibility, a lot more if you ask me. They need to man up when they make mistakes and they need to be careful of their actions and reactions. We are all people behind this screen and everyone should be treated with respect. So if someone says that they may be lagging, don't jump down their throat. It could very well be true, and probably is true given how crappy some ISPs are. However, if you are lagging you should also politely excuse yourself from that group until the lag clears or you find a different solution.

Lastly, many of the problems that groups experience can be solved if players simply bothered to communicate more.
