the rest of the internet really is a nasty place. part of the problem is the petty **** that people have described. flame wars, petty bickering, ghosting, juvinile hacking attempts. the other part of the problem is a direct result from the above. on 'civilized' Boards and chat Groups, people are so paranoid about flaming and all the other problems, that everyone walks on pins and needles.

its like everyone just got out of a sensitivity training class, and if someone says something even remotely cynical or negative without two preceding paragraphs qualifying the remark and indicating that they dont want to hurt anyones feelings, then everyone will jump up and accuse them of flaming, or being rude. and before you know it they have been Banned for suggesting that organic is an overpowered trait, because someone thought that an organic players feelings might get hurt.

yes ladies and gentlemen, the internet sucks. you should all be very glad that this board exists, even if you do have to put up with me. all in all, i think the world would be a much healthier place if we all turned off our computers for a moment and went out for a walk to mug random strangers in the park.. now wheres my ASP baton?
