Posted October 10, 2019 More often, rude players freely announce themselves. A pre alert is always helpful, as there are some we all could have avoided, yet found out the hard way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 10, 2019 I think it was meant as a joke and not an attempt to be rude. Ive heard this humor before when a person starts a conversation ends it with "stop harassing me" Maybe its an American thing. Easily misunderstood. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive heard this humor before when a person starts a conversation ends it with "stop harassing me" Maybe its an American thing. Easily misunderstood. Never encountered such conduct, and would certainly consider it rude. And any native English or American English speakers should always consider to be in an international game where most people do not speak English as their native language nor are familiar with all aspects of conversational speaking and writing, which even may widely differ between the US, Canada, Australia, and Britain. If that behaviour was not meant to be rude, it was highly inconsiderate and immature. And at least after Neville's last sentence it should have been clear that the joke, if it was meant as, was not understood. Every polite person would have apologized and explained then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2019 We need sirens (like those tsunami warning ones in Hawaii) in game for these types of alerts because by the time you post them here the person is long gone. Maybe add some mental (sp intended) detectors too for periodic admittance to the general use areas. =Ayes= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anyone takes a small convo like the one in the op this seriously, they are just looking for reasons to be offended or projecting deeper issues onto a scapegoat that deserves nothing further than being laughed at 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From that chat, I don't see any rude behaviour at all. Xrumx is an annoying troll on global Freedom chat, but this made me chuckle actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) The responses perfectly paint what online is today. It's almost passe' to even take offense, this is just who we've become, numbed by internet. It's good to see people laugh and take humor where should be taken. The one funny thing about it though is it's funny always when it's someone else. The same taking laugh, do not when upon them. This I've seen over n over and gives a good chuckle too. It's all akin to standing inside one of those felt belted car wash machines with it on, and not in your car. After a while you just feel nothing. Edited October 12, 2019 by Bloodscythe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 13, 2019 Maybe the owner is a douche.. maybe not.. maybe we are, maybe we aren't. No problem to solve, as he stopped harassing you at that point and you didn't need to know he exists in the first place. - no harm done Today's internet 'people' are sometimes turning into trolls or just learn a phrase or two.. that they eventually want to use, be glad you made his/her day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
