I agree people need to do less bi***ing and more playing while bugfixes are worked one. Less "I WANT A BUGFIX FOR MY PROBLEM BY THE TIME I SNAP MY FINGERS" topics would be nice, but let's face it, this is one of the tamest boards on the internet.
Then again, less topics like this - telling people what to do, then turning into a war about free speech and all-round pointless flaming - would be nice too.
I don't quite think "sociopathy" is quite the word to use.
This was my exact point. What kind of life do you live man? You amaze me.
I'm glad that you feel proud to wear the title of hypocrite. It fits you better than most.
I've also thought more about what you're saying; basically that unless I'm perfect myself, I have no right to say anything.
I'm not perfect. I'm not trying to claim that I'm not flawed myself, and I am also not trying to claim that I've never been vindictive towards anyone else before; I have been.
However, there's one other thing that I'm also aware of; and that is that if we wait around for someone who is perfect in order for them to be able to justifiably bring this up, we will be waiting forever. Just because I've done the wrong thing myself in the past as well, does not mean that I want to keep doing it, and it also doesn't mean that I want to continue to participate in a scenario where everyone else does it, either.
Again, maybe I am a hypocrite; but I choose to be one, because if I'm not, nothing gets done. Silently being completely uncontroversial and passively doing the lead by example thing doesn't work; it just gets ignored. I am not a hypocrite in the sense that I didn't call people names in the OP; you can only call me a hypocrite by on the basis of the fact that, yes, it's true that I *have* been offensive towards others myself, at times in the past.
Can't we all just agree to disagree? Just be happy and build cool stuff together.

That phrase is only offensive to people who choose to be offended by it. You aren't responsible for how people feel about every little thing you do or say. Best thing you can do is acknowledge that they are offended, apologize for offending them, and move on... but that won't stop whiney crybabys from being whiney or becoming offended over every little thing.

Classic rage post OP. I can practically hear you hyperventilating as I read it to myself.

I'm getting very tired of the degree of trolling, aggression, and sociopathy that I'm seeing around here; especially considering that this is supposed to be a moderated forum.
It's... the Internet. /shrug. Before that it was the same with Electronic Bulletin Boards, then quill and paper, and before that hieroglyphs. People never change. Never will.
Well, before the internet not everyone had the means to transmit their every thought to a large group of people. It was reserved for Authors, Television and Movie stars, Journalists, Politicians, Scientists, Scholars, etc. Now, anyone can do it.

Best just forget about it and think about how lonely someone must be to attack others over the internet wanting attention.

Honestly OP, you say you've been around the internet since 94(same here), then you should know thats how it was back then. Things havent changed at all, if anything, trolls have just got more creative in the years. Warcraft: Orcs and Humans forums had trolls when I played then (First MP game I played) and I have run into trolls on every single forum since then. Either you've been extremley lucky since 94, or have been avoiding forums. Nothing has changed, this forum is run how every other forum I see out there. Fallout's forums are almost exactly like this, same with League of Legends, trolls are there to sit and punce on people who dont use a search bar and create a million of the same exact threads / or ask a question thats clearly covered in the Newbie guide thats stickied. Its what trolls do, you cant escape em.

I prefer not to think about it. I just do my thing.
(My thing includes: Games, TV, Movies, Work, Sleep, Beer/Vodka, Stand up Comedy, bars/clubs, live shows, pool, poker, and females.)
When you have all of those things to fall back on; what some idiot says over the internet becomes rather inconsequential.
I definitely agree.

I think a large part of the problem is that the majority of minecraft players who register here are about 10-15 years old. Just check the "How old r u?" threads.
I agree with the OP. This is is one of the most hostile game forums I've ever been on. There is an elitist attitude particularly among the forum vets. It's bad and hurts the game. We should be helping noobs to grow the community. This leads to more sales and more resources for Notch to improve the game. It's pretty sad actually.
Then again, less topics like this - telling people what to do, then turning into a war about free speech and all-round pointless flaming - would be nice too.

That's what I was wondering. I just think it's an awesome picture.
