User blog comment:Fistful of Force/Insults/@comment-5230261-20120708200046

I'm going to be brutally honest: This game is not, in fact, a privilege. Sorry. Nor are we brothers (and sisters) because we play it. Trying to spout somewhat religious nonsense on a wikipedia page is, let's face it, worthless. Less than a moldy bean.

However, insults are not good either. I, for one, do not much enjoy being insulted for an off game, and I consider myself to be a fairly good player, if not even close to ranked potential. The fact that you are alright with people swearing at you disturbs me, especially since you don't like people calling someone else trash. Let them defends themselves, report the player, and try your best regardless.

I'm happy you know who you are. If you have reached that point, really and truly, great. Enduring insults helps us to get that far, and denying others the right to hearing insults is harmful to their growth. I, personally, don't insult, but I don't shelter others, usually. I will help boost their self esteem to counter the insult, but the reality is simple. Insults happen. Everyone who plays this game is allowed to say nearly anything they want.

Get. Over. It.
