Are we adults? Or sniping 13 year olds. I'm fairly sure my ocular filter will need cleaning now.
Ugh, even I am doing it. Reminds me of the old Minmittar Legend. You know the one, about all the trolls writing lewd phrases all over the forest.

Yeah, I use that excuse too.

Emotions do run high sometimes, which is not always a bad thing, but I agree that some exchanges are just farcical. _____________________

They have got to stop recruiting middleschoolers into the pod-pilot program. *shakes head*

Back when I started out being a pod pilot meant something. Now it appears they let anyone through.

At least in the State, age is not a qualifier for induction into the Capsuleer program. A candidate's Intelligence and Perception are the attributes most highly-sought. As with most things in the State, selection for the Capsuleer program is based entirely on the displayed merit of the individual, regardless of other circumstances.

Although I do find children abhorrent and obnoxious, one would hope they have enough redeemable attributes to spare them from target practice.

Since most capsuleers graduated from their respective academies only a few years ago or less, they still feel the need to argue like college kids instead of like interstellar spaceship captains. |

Why would you be frightened of your own ability? I'd be more frightened of the fact that any other capsuleer with a dreadnought or titan could devestate the surface of a planet at whim. |

Believing that one is infallible should be grounds for revocation of one's pilot license. ____________________________________ Caldari by birth, Minmatar by citizenship.

There are many things that "should be". This is one of those "should bes" that are not.

Have I wanted to punch certain people in the face who've angered me? Yes.
Am I afraid that I might destroy billions of sentient beings with a single thought? No.
I've seen the shattered world of Starkman Prime and cried. You should visit there whenever you fear that you could commit murder on a planetary scale.
To the original question; being in our profession has a corrosive effect on our psyches, even the most well adjusted. Over time we can become jaded, narcissistic, arrogant. Those traits don't lend themselves to civil discourse and can lead to some of the bickering you've witnessed. |

IGS is the best soap opera around,
Hilarity abounds. SideA: "You're really someone else!" SideB: "No I'm not" A: "Yes you are, you're C" B: "Nope" C: "eh, wot?" A: "C, you have no honour, because of B, I challenge you to duel!"
Should win comedy awards, really.
Yes. Yes, I am. |

In the old days a serving of laser to the bridge would silence an enemy.
These days you can put down your enemy a thousand times and see them return each time claiming victory. It's like an eternal game of "whac-a-fedo." Truly maddening.

Welcome to the capsule race, where everyone is a douchebag by default until they make a conscious decision not to be.

Just as every society is at its own level of moral maturity, so to each individual is at their level of moral maturity. Moral maturity, in this case, where so many humans with so different a background cluster together to communicate freely, mandates intolerance in those less mature while mandating tolerance in the more mature.
To me, tolerance is beneficial. ______________________________ "Irpom ignopom ifosis."
