Our community should give this a try. I benefit from meditation as well from practicing compassion but I can be better. I should consider this the next time I find myself angry with fellow players of this game, because I'm not immune from the occasional attack of toxcity.
Keep an open mind and give it read.
Martensitic3 votesI fully believe in being compassionate towards others.
However, I also believe in banning toxic morons who make this game a living hell for others, because compassion is not something that any sentient being is automatically deserving of, its something that is EARNED, same as respect.
La Belle Sauvage3 votesI fully agree with you. My intent wasn't to negate the punishment system.
La Belle Sauvage3 votesJust looking to foster civility and looking for ways to help suggest how we as a community can lessen toxcity overall.
elduris1 votesGreatly appreciated! Your efforts do not fall on deaf ears, friend.
HalcyonDweller2 votesRespect is earned, however common decency is owed.
Martensitic2 votesDecency is owed to those who are decent themselves.
I do not find it decent to punch people in the face.
However, if someone attacked me on the streets, I would punch him without a moments hesitation.
HalcyonDweller2 votesPhysical violence should not be compared to verbal violence. Especially when you have a mute button.
Yes, it's shitty when others are toxic to us, but retaliating and fighting fire with fire is out of line.
Martensitic1 votesPhysical violence should not be compared to verbal violence.
I am not. You are missing the point.
Decency is, similar to respect, dependent on the actions of more than one person.
It is not something that can be taken for granted.
HalcyonDweller2 votesIf we do not set an example for those less civil than us, how do we expect them to ever know better?
La Belle Sauvage1 votesEven though I've failed meaning I retaliated I agree with you here. My goal is not to respond, because during a competitive match is not the proper time to try to correct toxcity.
All measures are reactionary in game. But I can take the initiative by posting my ideas here.
HalcyonDweller1 votesI understand you

Martensitic1 votesIf we set a civil example even in the face of people who intentionally do not, we open ourselves up for defeat.
Its the same with tolerance, and I quote Benjamin Franklin: "In defense of Tolerance, Intolerance cannot be tolerated."
HalcyonDweller2 votesI understand your point.
However let me clarify; I think common decency is owed, until disrespect has been shown by the other party. At that point I think that they shouldn't be engaged with and instead just muted and reported.
My point is it is owed at the start, and can be lost. Just like any privilege.
