How self righteous do you have to be to think you can decide what is and isn’t a good member of the community?
Why is it if someone own-goals and i call them a f***ing retard I get banned?
Why is it if someone says, “I’m throwing the game” and i tell them to “neck themselves” I get banned?
Why is it that teenagers with baby thin skin think their right to not have their feelings hurt trumps everyone else’s right to freedom of speech?
I miss the good old days of couch gaming, when you would boot up halo, everyone would call each other f***ots and you would get on with the game.
Somewhere along the line online gaming went from a fun free for all (where you had the power to mute anyone you didn’t want to hear) to a baby preschool land where developers want to stroke their justice b*ners and ban anyone they deem a “big ol’ meanie.”
Where the f*ck is my time machine so i could go back to when people realized that:
yes it’s the internet
yes you will be insulted
yes the insults mean nothing
yes you should brush it off and move on with your day
The games industry gets me so mad that i’m halfway to jumping in front of a bus, and it’s not even the developers fault. It’s the vocal minorty that blow the developers every time they ban someone for saying, “meanie head words they don’t like because it hurts their ears.”

At least I can rest easy knowing most of the kids in these games and on these forums get bullied when they go to school.
