There's too much of it on this site IMO

My opinion might be biased because I hate it when people fight, but, it seems like over the past 2-3 months people have just been getting meaner and meaner.

I understand that sometimes an argument will start because of some 1 post guy who comes in insulting people. But the best way to respond to this is either to take it to PM's, ignore the guy or calmly respond to them. Not to insult him back and start an argument that will ultimately derail the thread (9 times out of 10).

The big problem is that on the internet, people don't have to admit that they're wrong-And so they never do.

Let's take for example, a new member has recently joined, let's call him Steve. Steve posts up a Janna guide that revolves around crit and lifesteal. Don't post up "omg baddie janna gets nothing from lifesteal 100 elo noob". If you don't feel like proving yourself to Steve, just say "In my opinion, this doesn't work." or, if you have the time, you can actually prove him wrong (if he is wrong) with math and such.

This will prevent a lot of hate while also still getting your point across.

Considering we can't really stop the 1 post 'trolls', (hate that term, too general and accusatory) we should at least try to shut them down by not feeding them.

And it isn't just the one post trolls. A lot of people on this site have just become plain ol' nasty when people disagree with them.

My point? When you want to post something hateful, kiss a puppy or something, leave your comp, let the rage seep away, and when you come back you can calmly post on your thread which will probably save it from the lock-hammer while also making you look better and the site look better.

Worth a shot, eh?

Now I'm not telling everyone what to do here, (and I'm sorry if it came across that way) but I just am kinda sad when 2 people who I respect start bickering for no really good reason.

You have a point. There was a case a few weeks ago that the bor said that Trynda and Yi should be removed because they are OP.
I trolled first, but them I explained things nicely. But my post was still part of the 3 pages of troll.

Yesterday, I saw a thread saying that Xerath was OP, and people explained the situation without trolling, or "noob, ELO hell, wtf". I was really impressed.

No deep down a majority of us are arrogant ********s who would rather scream our opinions to the world believing them to be better than anyone elses, rather than stfu and listen to others for a chance.

I know I have my moments, but I can attest to reading some of the most arrogant lines of ********* EVER within this site. From people who usually help the community (or are meant to).

I agree though we all have been PMSing lately....HARDCORE PMSing from both guys and girls. It's never going to end though, it's a perpetual cycle that is continually fed, even when it is uninentional.

I would love to see this site work together better, but all our Epeens are wrestling for dominance. Somedays it's less, somedays more.

I'm not battling for any kind of dominance, nor do I ever intend too. O.o

But you're right a lot of people are :3

It's sort of discouraged me from posting anymore - Nobody wants to get yelled at.

I've taken to making majoritively legitimate statements with a bit of troll sprinkled in. I really don't care if someone turns a debate into a shouting match, all they do is make themselves look like idiots who don't deserve the rank of ve...I mean they look like morons. I can appreciate people sharing their opinion but at some point it turns into a one-sided conversation with a looped feed. People continually deny opposing opinions and make sure that those opinions which differ from their own are never heard.

People will attack each other on a semi-personal level to discredit anyone against them RATHER than debate like civilized people they turn it into a feeding frenzy of who can spew the most arrogant lines of ******** to drive the point that "my opinions are greater and you're a 2-faced lying sack of **** who has no ELO"

When I read "No you're dead wrong" on a difference of opinion I know ***** about to hit the fan. Either way, I cope by kinda trolling...Like I said. Deffinately makes me feel better.

Trolling is simply a way to inact some non-detramental agression. Most of the time it hurts no one (MOST). Makes me feel better when I make a comment that in 1 step shuts someone up and makes them laugh in the same breath.
