My favorite is:

“Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

Rather, that's why people stopped arguing with you ;]

Maybe, but i use this philosophy when i see posts that are raging over balance. When i say raging, i mean like calling everything that exists in the game cancer.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I actually remember seeing a george carlin special that had something fun concerning this. I forget the exact line, but he was referencing the whole iraq oil stuff and said something like:

"Everyone in life has had a scapegoat for their problems. The ancient egyptians had the jews, to help build the pyramids -talks aside- this isn't the first time the jews have been scapegoated, and probably won't be the last -stops-. The americans first had the blacks, remember that? Bunch of lazy pricks they were back in the day, so much so that they decided it'd be EASIER (puts a ton of emphasis on that word) to brave the seas not once but TWICE (again, emphasis) just so they wouldn't have to do an honest day's job. Now the americans are using the middle east as an excuse and I find it rather hilarious. Too many people claim that they want to put in a hard day's work -talks aside- remember, this was a nation built on the idea of people working hard and getting sh't done -stops- yet when the pressure is on many of them choose to just stiff someone else with it."

My grandpa used to always say "never argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience"

Maybe people make excuses so they don't look like they did wrong. It can be so wrong in fact they still make excuses to lighten it.

I think that's more accurate.

please tell me you didnt come to league boards to "think"[slayer-jinx-unamused]

I think you have gotten lost sir XD

IPromiseTomorrowNov 21, 20162 votes

Will it's something I have yet to make sure of. I have to press some people for answers, which is uncomfortable for some league players lol.

S H A Y C 0Nov 21, 20162 votes

which is uncomfortable for some league players

because they dont have any, lol!

IPromiseTomorrowNov 21, 20161 votes

But have you tried pressing for "why" did some do something. Then receive the honest answer?

It's true, but only if the onlookers are fools as well.

This post was really meant to apply to all the people of the Player Behavior board who cry about being toxic with the excuse "But my team started it" without realizing that they are being judge solely on their words not what their team said

It's pretty damn impossible to tell it's aimed at that, and regardless still applies to other things.

Maybe it's just me, but flaming someone who is flaming himself and flaming someone who didn't insult you in any way are two very different things.

I've always hated the attitude of the the player behaviour boards where if you aren't literally jesus you don't just deserve to be permabanned but also hanged.

But If Someone is flaming the flamer who flames the flamers flame,would that not instead defeat the point of flaming

No, that guy would be the worst of the bunch.
