Time for honesty. When I first signed up for an account on Dtoid, I did it for one purpose – To be a dick. On every website I go to I try to be a nice, calm collected person, and my goal with Dtoid was to create an account that I could swear and insult and be an outlet for the hate bubbling inside.
It seemed like a great idea at first, then something happened; I actually started to feel guilty. The more I got to know people here, the less fun posting “FUCK COCK” was and the more of a complete knob I just seemed like. This all came to a head after Jim and Nick and a bunch of people left some really nice comments in my 5 suggestions to improve Dtoid, I couldn’t bring myself to act like a complete fuck bucket today in the comments. I felt bad. Goddamit.
So, to hopefully start a new leaf I’m changing my avatar, cutting down on the flamey posts and actually post some decent blog updates every once in a while (not including this one) . This is my attempt to actually act like some kind of half decent member, well, as decent as you can act on Dtoid anyway. Cocks.
I blame all this happy and cheery crap on Chad. I think his super happy blogs are warping my mind.
Guilt? On the internet? Being a dick on the internet is like smoking pot. It's not habit forming, it's fun, it makes sex feel even better, it doesn't harm you in any way, and it's easy to get.
The thing about being a dick on the internet is that most people give it up sooner or later. People tend to know not to feed trolls, so internet dicks have a lot of conversations by themselves. It's sort of lonely, and sad.
I always wonder what internet dicks are trying to prove. Usually they're either compensating for something, convince themselves that other people are stupid to take the sting out of rejection, or they're the sort of person who never grows out of burning ants with a magnifying glass for fun (a.k.a. a sociopath). Either way, glad to see you put that behind you. And welcome.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

I’ll probably push it down deep inside, then save it all up until my 75’th birthday when I just SNAP and beat the hell out of like 10 kids.
