There has been another "EA rules!"-type troll attempt ("Can't wait for EA F1"). Can we save a bit of time by ignoring it completely?

cmon man I dont even ***y know what a troll is! And its my real email. Why do you have to ignore my post, im just saying the EA game will hopefull simulate the e***ment of racing and that these types of games should not be labeld arcade just because theyre not impossible to drive. I didn't see anything in the press release about turbo boost and rocket launchers on the f1 cars did you? >There has been another "EA rules!"-type troll attempt ("Can't wait for EA >F1").

Berno responded, in part: "im just saying the EA game will hopefull simulate the e***ment of racing. . ." ------------------ That's not at all what you were "just saying"! Look fool, your ORIGINAL post resorted to name-calling and insult, before the discussion had even begun! I quote: "As for those ***y nerds that turned the last thread into an epic about how unrealistic EA sports games are and that the game is going to be an arcady pice of crap, well I think your using the wrong joystic... Stop playing with your***s idiots just because you can drive around the ring in gpl doesn't mean you would have the balls, strength or ability to get around it on a push bike." -------------- If you want to DISCUSS issues, be reasonable. If you want to engage in insult, take a ***ing leap . . . love and kisses, David

Look, when someone posts reasonable opinions and is civil in those posts, I wouldn't call it a troll at all. But when someone's original posts accuses those who prefer sims to arcade title as "playing with their***s" then I draw the line. Unfair? Rubbish.

Precisely. Certainly everyone has the right to post their opinions in a civil manner. Flinging insults is no one's privilege.

It's not the subject matter that inflames people, Richard. It's the style, which is devoid of civility. Unless they're visiting from another planet, these troll-types clearly realize that their random insults and unsavory language will elicit emotional reactions. Ignore them, until they adapt a modicum of decency, and they'll either modify their approach or simply go away.
Hey #33, you're slumming in here too? :o) mk

GPL is a sim yet it isnt impossible to drive, quite simple now if you ask me. Jesse
