I was on Game Ranger today, for reasons of my own, when I was messaged out of the blue for this little gem of a conversation:

Quote

Stryder: whats sundered mean?
Sundered Angel: Shattered, broken.
Stryder: hahaha
Stryder: so your a broken angel?
Stryder: you poor baby
Stryder: hahahahahaha
Sundered Angel: Indeed.
Stryder: lame
Sundered Angel: Unaccountably so.


It certainly makes you wonder about the calibre of the people online gaming services attract, doesn't it?

I find them an endless source of amusement. Being the sadistic manipulator that I am, I often find it fun to spin intellectual and psychological circles around them until they're chasing their own tail.

Well, as you can see, I was beginning to set up double meanings. Unfortunately, he must have caught wind of my plans, as he stopped there.

It is indeed unfortunate that such folk waste the internet chatting with such stupidity and ignorance. It does amuse, though. It can be entertaining toying with them.

I find "chat" to be a place of mistakes, lies, cheats, and (unfortunately) bad grammar and spelling. Posted Image But it's very amusing overall.

This isn't anything to get annoyed over.

Indeed. It should be regarded as a source of amusement. Or, more likely, bemusement.

You don't seem the person who gets into many fights and I don't think yoru manner conveys an agent of 'insult me'. So getting insulted must be quite an impact for you.

I on the other hand almost REGULARLY get insulted by bastards when I'm not using the Joveia nick.

It must be the fear he can inject into your mind merely by staring at his icon. People are too scared to insult him, unless they're too stupid to realize they're scared.

Annoying people on GR are easily dealt with, theres this thing, called the 'ignore' command. Completly unrelated however: I amuse myself by pasting 'heh' at different numbers of letters over and over again until a channel operator relizes I'm dodging the spam system, and kicks me off.
