Maybe I am not cool enough to be able to respect "smacktalking"....but its a place I'm okay being in...
Smacktalking is for idiots...I don't care if you are doing it to solve "world hunger" or "make the world a better place"...
This is a COMPUTER video GAME...the environment we create is the environment we are left to "live/play" in. Some imbecile hiding behind the safety of internet anonymity purposefully trying to provoke others or irritate them is NOONE to be respected or held up for adulation. I always believe you shouldn't type/vox something you wouldn't be comfortable saying face to face with an individual.
The reason we are only naming a few individuals here is because the rest of the community CHOOSES to be respectful of others and NOT conduct themselves in a selfish egotistical manner....and thank goodness for that...the game would go down the crapper...
I'll take a game filled with 999000, tatertot, corkyjr over a game filled with the names mentioned in this thread anyday...
We often hear vets who long for "the good old days" of early airwarrior...well i was there and folks "talked" with their skill and not their typing.
It is embarrassing to even have a thread like this because it will inspire other idiots to "be like Shane" etc...and that would be a bad thing in my opinion.
For the kiddies out there...RESPECT and REPUTATION are the easiest things to lose in life and hardest things to earn,,,
