I wholeheartedly disagree with this topic. Anyone that decides to hate people just for going to QCDN, or just the FB or whatever, without ever meeting the person ingame or some other means is jumping to some extreme conclusions, and I personally don't care what they think if they so happen to be so bullheaded as to jump to decisions like that without ever even meeting the person.
Yeah, some of us may be hotheads or goof-offs or generally act like PC+1 turds with nothing witty to say...but really, alot of the time it's those goofy posts that lighten moods when people get too worked up over certain discussions (especially major ones, such as religion or illegal immigration)
OP-dood, you're not looking at the whole picture. It's easy to say alot, or daresay all of us, are a bunchof rampaging morons. But the truth is, you only notice the bad instances because negative impressions leave a mark much bigger than the good ones. Hell, open up any history book: chapters dedicated to world wars, plagues, and inquisitions. You don't see some fifty-page section on how the pasteurization process was made or how small pox was successfully quaruntined.
It's an unfortunate fact many countries focus solely on drama and negative things, which leads to one of the worst morals that can be taught - "If you do something right, people won't be sure you did anything at all."

QCDN as a majority is brutally honest at times. This means when you say something most people think is stupid, you get knocked down a few pegs. Not that its a nice thing to do, but one would hope it would inspire people to do their research before posting falacies. Tough <3
There's an old story that I've heard ascribed to so many cultures I can't give it a proper source. Let's say it's an ethnic myth from somewhere:
----------------------------------
A young man on a journey entered a foreign village in the jungle. He was met by an old man sitting at the edge of town. Very concerned about what sort of people the villagers are, he asked the old man, "What sort of people are here?"
The old man asked him, "What are people like where you are from?" The young man replied, "People there are cruel and bitter. It was people like that who drove me away to look for something better." The old man told him, "That is the sort of person you'll find here."
Discouraged, the young man went on his way.
A little later, a second young man came along the same path, and asked the old man the same question. The old man asked him, "What are people like where you are from?" This young man replied, "People there are cold and determined, but not unkind. They don't waste time and they don't lie around. I came on a journey hoping to find people who are more laid back and friendly." The old man told him, "That is the sort of person you'll find here."
The second young man sighed and went on his way.
A little later, a third young man came along the same path, and asked the old man the same question. The old man asked him, "What were people like where you are from?" The third young man smiled and said, "People were very friendly where I was from. I'm traveling to see more of the world."
The old man smiled back and said, "That is the sort of person you will find here. You are welcome, please come in."
And the third young man went into the village.
---------------------------
I'm not a great storyteller, and I'm sure I'm missing a bit of the finesse of it, but I think the lesson here is very obvious.
Note also that the old man did not turn anyone away from the village; they left because of what they imagined was inside -- indeed, what they would have created themselves in a way had they gone in.
This will perhaps reinforce Mai Ikari's point of the last page or so regarding the OP's ability to create the kind of reaction they are targeting.

Look i know this seems bad and realy in some threads if posted how i thought it was stupid to complain about some things.. but shortly after you have to let the thought sink in....
This is a FLAME......BOOOOAAARRRRDDDDD (inteded sarcasm)
You're supposed to post here about some things that piss you off. Thats the whole reason its here. Saying people have no life and are idiots responding to topics on here only proves your just as dumb as them by telling them they are dumb for useing the flameboard for its intended use...
Cmon man if you dont like it, dont use it, its as simple as that.

We're more of a dysfunctional family than anything. A dysfunctional family with a few retarded siblings. We fight a lot on qcdn but I don't think it carries over in-game all that much. I've been pissed at people on the flameboards and then met them on game to find out their decent people.

Cheesy Poofs, like in Wes' avatar.
I currently suspect this person as being Crocker, who is on my LS, who always complains about his ingame situation on LS and never makes any effort to help himself. Constantly whines about being poor, while having a lvl 55+ BST and a 73? WHM.
I am not exactly quiet when I have an opinion, but that is the way I am, so when Crocker complained about the game being too "complicated" because the game never tells him who to talk to, (even though quest log and dialogue tends to give it ALL away, then when in trouble, check with friends and LS!) I responded simply. "If you want linear game play, go play an FPS" and simelar responces. Being one of the few from my LS who uses these boards, and the main one who makes these comments in LS, I think this is why I am getting the flak for this.
all I have to say, is GROW THE FUCK UP.
Crocker or not, I don't care, if you are Crocker, then all I just said counts for you.
If not, explain why you are flaming me.

lol Wolf, most of the time I have no problem with you, but when you say stuff like this I kinda wonder if you even read the threads before you reply. Sculli checked IPs and it wasn't Kink. It wasn't even the name of the person they said they were. It basically was a troll/someone being a dick. It wasn't Kink.
