Angry Children In RA

Ok so I was just wondering if this bothers anyone else like it does me. When I'm doing RA I always run into those people who feel they have to cuss about everyone in local chat. I mean seriously, these kids must have some anger issues to act like this.

So does that annoy anyone else? It annoys me and also makes me feel sad for these people who do it because they're obviously mentally unstable.

I'm sure it bothers everybody, but its as much a part of RA as "change" is part of every Obama speech. Get used to it or turn off local chat.

That's like, 90% of RA, sadly. Alot of kids are mentally unstable, and they get mad easy in a game. And cussing is nothing bad. It's a more clear form of expressing yourself. Yes, it's always good to try and avoid it, but it sometimes cannot be helped.

EDIT:Why does everyone use a metaphor relating to race, government, religion, or politics? -.-;

Yeah, it's just something you have to get used to. I turn of local pretty often, or just laugh a them for being, for example, a [skill]word of healing[/skill] + [skill]patient spirit[/skill] ranger. Yes, I have seen one before.

Probably people trying to get a rise out of the 90% of GW's population which is incredibly easy to get the best of.

Instead of coming on here to whine and bitch and make incorrect assumptions about these peoples' personal lives from what they type on the internet, why don't you try getting over it and moving on with your "successful" life?

I just don't pay attention to them. It's really as simple as that.

they do it to piss people off, like hackers in online FPS games. don't worry they won't get laid, so it comes back to them in the end.

I didn't come here to whine, I can here to ask a valid question. Though I admit I should have posted it earlier in the day when people such as yourself are in school, but I didn't so I expected to have kiddies replying here defending "their kind".

But in all seriousness I'm not whining about it. I just asked a question. The person who posted right after you is right, it does get back to them in the end when they're 35 and living in a basement.

They're not all kids.

The potty-mouths don't bother me so much. The wiki-worshipers who think you don't have a clue just because you didn't copy, save, and use someone else's template, irk me at times, but that's part of the game.

Ahh yes, that bothers me too, but then I think that bothers anyone with any common sense.

And you're right, calling them all kids isn't the right approach to take, I should have called them all immature rather than kids. But usually kids are immature so you still get the idea.

one of first things i've usually done is turn off local chat in RA and it's become a habit. There a lot of angry kids but you could've run into this guy too:

I don't usually stay in posts long enough to have to listen to them.

This thread sounds alot more like it was made for venting than discussion and a rather meaningless discussion too.

They're all over GW, not just RA. They're adolescents with raging hormones and the protection of anonymity. I had raging hormones once and people tolerated me and prayed I'd make it through my teens alive and didn't let my rebellious behavior bother them.

Now I do the same, and you'd feel a lot more peaceful if you did the same as well.

Turn off your local and team chat channels. Anybody who doesn't is really just asking for it when in RA.

There you go again making incorrect assumptions about people you know nothing about but for some reason get the best of you, you ignorant fool.

IGNORANCE. Even worse than kids cursing in RA. Learn your place, you worthless tool.

I wouldn't assume it is only from those who do not yet pay taxes. Expletives not-necesarily-deleted are a standard and eternal part of male speech as well, especially the more hard working blue collar types. That is not going to change no matter how many sensitivity classes you send them too. Also, expletives are much better than putting one's fist thru the monitor. (Though I occasionally glance at the shotgun when a microshaft condition occurs.)

Being realistic about the above (as I am degreed on communications practices and theory), there remains a quesiton of objective. The objective of the expression can be resocialized while the necessity of the release of stress, frustration, and tension cannot. There is a difference between swearing against a person and swearing against a situation or thing. Those who do the latter want to see change or improvement in self, in suroundings, in event. Those who do the former lack respect for their peers, and therefor lack self respect to consider as a base of comparison. That is not an easy form of emotional abuse to change, and it is a primary reason I do not bother with PvP play.

I have long stated that before every match the contestants should meet (after skills are set) in central transfer chamber and salute one another (bow in oriental contries) before being transfered to the match. Then when the match is over, a final salute/bow of respect for one's opponent also take place. During this, No vulgarity, No Boasting, etc. would be allowed. Players would only be able to compliment one another on game play - or have compliments automatically stated as an example (at least in RA).

People cussing on the Internet is not a new phenomenon. Closed for nonconstructive discussion with no potential.
