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.
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.
Also, people fight over the internets because they have to have a bigger e-dick than the other guy.
Nu huh! We SO DON'T!!!
