MW: It's less solving an individual's problem and more keeping the whole place nice and friendly.

Beyond wanting a 'nice place', there's also the factor of keeping the site free; google ads pay the server - but google ads do have some restriction on the content that may be displayed on sites that make use of it.

Somewhere else: I'd personally report stuff that goes beyond a (personal) line; someone occasionally using an expletive ? Meh. Someone making threats, spewing racists/sexist/pornographic insults ? Report.

Ah - none of you get it.

No one handles my problems for me. I handle my own problems. I'm not a child - I don't need an adult.

However, I'll agree with Whisper on one thing: Stuff I consider intolerable, I will report. Racism/sexism/bigotry, all that jazz. Because then the person is someone I'll want removed entirely from the website (or whatever).

But just because I'm annoyed with someone - say he flames or insults me, or whatever - is never reason enough for me to report anyone. I'm a gentleman in that way: You have a problem with me, that's between you and me. Not between you, and some moderator.

On the other hand, at my worst, I'm the guy this whole discussion is about. Someone said 'so long as you refrain from rulebreaking'. I mostly do. But not always.

Say in League of Legends. I'm a support main, right? I spend my time in that game trying to empower the rest of my team. And me - I don't mind losing. I'm fine with that, that's part of playing games.

But I've developed a set of reactions in that game. What will happen is, someone makes a mistake - overextends, for instance (I dunno if you're familiar with the game, and it doesn't really matter). Guy makes a mistake, dies for it, blames - and flames - me. Because of some fantasy where it was my duty to save him, sacrifice myself to do so, whatever.

In that set of circumstances, I flame back. And I'm much, much better at it, generally. Like I said, I swear like a sailor.

Not making any excuses, mind. Not saying it's a good thing to do, or that it's right. I'm well aware I'm making things worse for everyone. I'm just unwilling to let myself be treated that way. No one gets to do that, not unanswered.

So yea ... under the right (or wrong) circumstances - I'm that guy.

What a woefully childish statement.

Actually, since it's on my site, it's totally my business (literally and metaphorically) and ultimately my responsibility.

I'm not interested in allowing an internet tough guy to repeat himself over and over again in this thread so... closed.
