i hate flamers

When somebody talks trash to me or makes crass uncalled remarks about how I am playing my instinct is to respond swiftly and brutally - to escalate hard bringing a nuke to a knife fight just so the instigator knows who he's dealing with.

However, this sort of attitude doesn't work out too well since I am the bad guy all of a sudden for exercising what I like to call verbal self-defense and it's me who gets ban-hammered for fighting back against the bullies.

I actually wouldn't mind flamers at all if I was permitted to verbally rape them like I would under normal circumstances but seeing as this option is taken away from me I really really grow to despise them. I view them as entrappers - evil creatures who exist just to annoy me while trying to provoke a response out of me knowing full well that if I snap I am the one who will be punished as opposed to them.

These animals are beyond pity and I get so tilted when I encounter one of them I can't help but feel joy when I lose because no despicable fiend such as them deserves a win. If I go down in flames so that justice can be served so be it - it is a noble sacrifice.

What I want to know is when did riot developers become monastic ascets to place such lofty expectations on the players of their game? It's really quite a feat worthy of any religious celibate and, I must admit, does boost my ego a bit. Through hatred my will is made iron.

Thanks riot, I guess.
