Be responsible.

There are always posts about how people don't want to be insulted, how they shouldn't be flamed, etc... I agree with this; however, while you're trying to have fun other people are trying to have fun too. Some people, myself included, have more fun when winning. Thus, if your bad play is influencing that, it's ruining my enjoyment just like me flaming you would ruin your enjoyment.

Thus, if you expect me not to flame you, I expect you to apologize and state that you're having a bad game. It happens, we all have them, but own up to your actions. If you want to be respected, I want to be respected too. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

I actually do agree with what you are saying here. I think a lot of toxicity are the results of that. We all know that people have bad games, but at the current popular view of the community seems to be banning all of the talks cause it's toxic, counter-productive, and not going to help win the game, which honestly, is baby'ing people and allowing them to act whatever they want in games. everyone must not say anything.

I have used an analogy of someone hitting you with a car, and drive off. While we don't know if it's an accident or deliberate act, but shouldn't they feel at least a bit sorry for that? By lol's current logic, you get hit by the car, as they drive off without a word, you have to remember not to get angry about what they did, or the person driving the car may hit even more people with the car, and it will be your fault for speaking out in the first place.

I do feel like if everyone can own up to their mistake, toxicity level will drop by a lot, however it most likely will not happen.
