Internets serious business

Why is it people insist on starting fights over the internet? It makes absolutely no sense- especially when you're playing a game. Everythings nice and dandy, and all of a sudden, someone says something smart mouthed, bound to set -somebody- off, due to how close minded it is. It really unnerves me, when, on several games I'm a GM on, I have to constantly tell people to shut that shit up. Of course, when I mute said individuals, they just claim I'm stopping them from defending themselves. One even went so far as to state he was hitting a glass ceiling, because the owner wouldn't let him have Gm, and he blamed all of the admins.

Last time I checked, playing a video game isn't like being in the corporate world. There are no glass ceilings.

Ok since I don't understand half of what you said(on several games I'm a GM on....HUH?), I'm just going to answer the first question:

People fight over the Internet because they can. There is no real punishment for it and no real consequences. This is applied similarly to someone is who bigger then someone: The bigger person can get away with fighting the smaller person because there are no real consequences for the bigger person.

In Short: A lack of consequence turns people into ass holes.

Ah yeah. I should have explained myself more. Its what I get for making stuff when I'm tired. They're not -big- huge games. Just games on BYOND. Nothing special.

And your like a GM as in you make a room and then your master of that particular room? (I looked up BYond). Ok that makes a bit more sense now :3

This is your second blog in two days where you've complained about something...that wasn't starting a fight either. It was stating a fact.

Also, people fight over the internets because they have to have a bigger e-dick than the other guy.

See, I get paid on commission. Every time I win an Internet argument I get $6.35. This is why I usually have 8 tabs to 8 different forums open and also constant connection to an IRC server, Vent server, and Halo. Internet argument helps me maintain my lavish lifestyle.
