That's the way I try to use trash talk. Some of you guys take it personal, which is ridiculous. When I do it, I want the other person to respond. Most of the time, it always ends up with me smiling and a . I try to keep it all in good fun. Watch the clip, I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

If you have ever seen my trash talk................ it's sooooo ridicules in nature that VERY FEW might even THINK I'm serious.
HOWEVER I didn't watch that movie, AND that movie, I did watched the clip you posted, relies IMHO heavily on the fact that you can SEE their faces, AND HEAR their voices!
On the net in the arenas seeing their faces and/or hearing their voices doesn't happen often. At least from those in an opposing country.
Although I do sometimes find myself wondering if some of these people aren't "hearing voices"?
My point was to express that trash talk can get out of hand quickly IF it isn't kept to certain minimum STANDARDS.
IMHO Those STANDARDS are what most or many are trying to express in this thread.
Courtesy, civility, sort of a line that SHOULD NOT be crossed thing.
It SEEMS the LOWER that standard of trash talk the worse the response from those receiving that trash talk!
That is what most are really trying to say in this thread IMHO.
I responded to your post, NOT to mark or criticizes you specifically Sir!
But to express that IMHO the standard some SEEM to be trying to set MAY be too low.
If that standard is kept higher it is possible that fewer will cross that line as often as they do now.
OOOPS had a bad typo I had to fix

(that was NwBie's fault BTW
