Turn off your local and team chat channels. Anybody who doesn't is really just asking for it when in RA.

But in all seriousness I'm not whining about it. I just asked a question. The person who posted right after you is right, it does get back to them in the end when they're 35 and living in a basement.

There you go again making incorrect assumptions about people you know nothing about but for some reason get the best of you, you ignorant fool.

IGNORANCE. Even worse than kids cursing in RA. Learn your place, you worthless tool.

So does that annoy anyone else? It annoys me and also makes me feel sad for these people who do it because they're obviously mentally unstable.

I wouldn't assume it is only from those who do not yet pay taxes. Expletives not-necesarily-deleted are a standard and eternal part of male speech as well, especially the more hard working blue collar types. That is not going to change no matter how many sensitivity classes you send them too. Also, expletives are much better than putting one's fist thru the monitor. (Though I occasionally glance at the shotgun when a microshaft condition occurs.)

Being realistic about the above (as I am degreed on communications practices and theory), there remains a quesiton of objective. The objective of the expression can be resocialized while the necessity of the release of stress, frustration, and tension cannot. There is a difference between swearing against a person and swearing against a situation or thing. Those who do the latter want to see change or improvement in self, in suroundings, in event. Those who do the former lack respect for their peers, and therefor lack self respect to consider as a base of comparison. That is not an easy form of emotional abuse to change, and it is a primary reason I do not bother with PvP play.

I have long stated that before every match the contestants should meet (after skills are set) in central transfer chamber and salute one another (bow in oriental contries) before being transfered to the match. Then when the match is over, a final salute/bow of respect for one's opponent also take place. During this, No vulgarity, No Boasting, etc. would be allowed. Players would only be able to compliment one another on game play - or have compliments automatically stated as an example (at least in RA).

People cussing on the Internet is not a new phenomenon. Closed for nonconstructive discussion with no potential.
