hey,

dunno where this should go, or even whether or not it should be posted..... but ive been away for a while and have returned but im noticing a growing problem i didnt notice when i was last on here.

far too many people are experiencing what i call the "holier than thou complex", now ive mostly been experiencing this on the deception board because of all the speculation... what i mean by this (and my example is only an incredibly mild one, there are far worse examples of it on there) is like this -

outworld222 posted a thread speculatin that the guy with the pony tail is fujin, now i dont see a problem with that, its speculation on a game thats only had media released for what... a week or two?

and blackcyborg_the_original replied with this little number

"Its sub-zero, you fucking people are ignorant.

And the person with the glowing eyes in the trailer is Baraka...man, you people are fucking clueless!"

i dunno what the hell crawled up his crack hole but ive read a few threads where hes reacted like this, it seems whenever someone speculates something he knows is wrong he doesnt just kindly correct them, he jumps down their throats.

now i know hes not the only culprit, but hes possibly one of the biggest ive seen so far.... so please! this game has got what 6-8 months of speculation left? and still more after the games come out, i (and im sure many others) could do without this kind of reaction every time an incorrect speculation is made.

again, sorry if this is posted incorrectly/inappropriately but i just needed to get it off of my muscular manly chest wink

Well, blackcyborg_the_original has no reason to believe he's better than anybody, but I think there are a lot of people here who aren't even at the same level of intelligence as others.

I fucking hate that. If someone's being blatantly ignorant, then perhaps telling them so isn't out of the question. But to verbally attack people because of stupid reasons like that makes me gag. I think I'm going to go punch someone in the throat.

It takes a bit of intelligence to reply in a calm and digified manner. Flaming is too mainstream to be cool...

It's a sad, but very real part of our human nature.

I will not lie, I allow myself to do this sometimes. Everyone does at one point or another. People have a tendency once they form an opinion on something to treat it as the Gospel. Having an opinion is somehow considered good enough to deem it holy.

But the truth is everyone has different thought processes and experiences, that brings them to their conclusions. I think the majority of things come down to perspective, hence noone will ever be completely "Right", or completely "wrong". It is all a gray area.

It would be much simpler if the world was black and white, it would. But viewpoints are the key. If someone disagrees with you, they are not malicious, and chances are, they probably think the same in regards to you.
People are self-centered at heart, and it is probably our first nature to see things through our own eyes. And in our own eyes, we already know the reasons why we hold the opinions we do already. The problem is others do not. But we get offended when others do not see it the same. 'Surely you cannot blah blah blah'. People neglect to think over the fact that this person is coming from a different angle. A lot of times people also fail to explain their thoughts and opinions, and will just throw them out there, expect total agreeance, and damn the skies should anyone dare to disagree.
I am not putting blame on anyone in particular. EVERYONE does this at some level.
