People Calling GG for You...

[TheEconomist]

-when it isn't in fact a good game, there isn't the slightest doubt that the winner is being rude, and it just telling the losing player that he should leave now = rude, and not the slightest bit arguable

I've said that I no longer care about certain things and I said that I was going to leave, yes, but I never said I was done.

It's like you both are trying to prove my point. Am I being trolled? It's been so long since I've been at a good trolling forum that its possible I've gotten out of practice.

edit: nvm, if you're not done, I am.

[TheEconomist]

Why doubt? Why interpret? Guilty until proven innocent, huh? Is that how they do it in Tunisia?

Well, here in the West, the best of like to assume that comments like "GG" are noble unless we find a reason otherwise. You, apparently, have to analyze each and every 'GG" to see if it's legitimate and you start with the assumption that its offensive until you find that it is not.

@Hammy: It's the personal insults which get me back. Put an end to them and this will stop.

You want to make this political now...

Cherry picking doesnt suit your argument well.

"-offensive gg = rude
-it's possible the winner would say gg to genuinely express it's a good game. In that case he's just being clumsy.
-when it isn't in fact a good game, there isn't the slightest doubt that the winner is being rude, and it just telling the losing player that he should leave now = rude, and not the slightest bit arguable"

The initial statement is that the offensive GG is rude. The secondary statement stating that offensive GG's are fine when it is a really good game. The final statement saying that when it isnt a GG it is rude.

There are no statements in regards to the loser saying gg first as it isnt what he is arguing.

The result is that offensive gg's are fine when it is true, otherwise it is rude.

PS: Thanks for commenting on my nerdy physique, nice to know you have to try and insult me via PM's.

If it weren't rude to the readers of this topic and destructive to the forum as a whole I'd say it right here. DO NOT mistake my respect for the forum as some kind of shame towards my words or need to be secret with them. You've insulted me so I'm simply doing the same. You call me an idiot who cannot read so I call you a nerd. That's how it goes. Don't get all sensitive now. If you can dish it, you should be able to take it.

I read the rest but immediately forgot it. I think it's best if we just go back to "agree to disagree" or whatever we last left this as. I have no intention of continuing this so if you're as done with this as I am then do not respond.

No I don't. Just trying to understand the mentality of "This guy is an asshole that deserves to be punished .... until I find that he's actually being genuine."

I have not once insulted you. The closest thing to an insult I have said is that you need glasses because you tried to be clever and named me roadkilldeer (which in and of itself is an insult). I am also not being sensitive, but I think its pretty silly to insult via PM because of frustration in a thread. I can take it just fine, btw...

There is no mentality there. Its common sense. Not necessarily the punish part, but the feeling that the other guy is an asshole. Did you ever play sports competitively? Even as a kid?

[Hammy]

No I don't. Just trying to understand the mentality of "This guy is an asshole that deserves to be punished .... until I find that he's actually being genuine."

I think the guy who offensively GGed had it coming. It's not like it was truly a good game, so he was just being rude. A well deserved punishment!

So I didn't mention it was obvious he was being rude?

And then, if you aren't trying to get into political statements, why say that?
Because you felt offended by something else I said? It was 'revenge'? You were just flaming for the heck of it?
That's a great way to keep things from escalating. Good thing we aren't both that way.

I read the rest but immediately forgot it.

Now your attitude makes more sense, but remains as irritating and offensive.

[TheEconomist]

How can it be revenge when nothing I said was offensive. It's not like I said "You damn Tunisians" or whatever else. I'm curious to see how you were offended by "Is that how they do it in Tunisia". I bet it's more of that same "guilty until proven innocent" mentality that causes you to be offended by some GGs. I'm beginning to see why you thought the simple statement of my factual rank offended you and provoked you to flame me.

For the record, I have no problem with Tunisia. As far as I know, they've never bombed an American building so I have no problem with them. In fact, if you read some of my other posts elsewhere you'll see that I'm quite complimentary of countries of that region and type.

@Deer:

1) I play sports competitively now. And, in physical competitive sports, I prefer a bit of rudeness. It motivates me and gives me the adrenaline and testosterone boost that I need to better myself. I don't get wimpy and start crying about how it offended me. A non-physical sport is a bit different though so this doesn't apply so much here.
2) I'm referring to a post that Hammy removed after I posted mine. It's the one with the "nvm" edited in it.
3) You implied that I could not read. Therefore, insult. Simple.

[Hammy]

Ah, I see. Then in that case: no that's not how it's done in Tunisia. Glad you were educated by this 'exchange'.
