Yeah, I went through puberty too, and no, it isn't any fun.

In my day though, there wasn't anyway to hide behind an avatar and a screen name. I'm not saying I was a perfect teenager, or even that I'm a perfect adult now, but if I did something rude to someone it happened it the real world and there were consequences. The back of my dad's hand or my mother screeching at me for starters, but some of what I've seen goes well beyond that.

Let's take the spitting example, which was generated because someone else decided it was IC to hate me for my race. Do you know what they call spitting on someone for racially based reasons in the real world? Aggravated Assault.

Or the Douchebag who freaked out my ex so bad. Imagine walking up to a woman on the street and saying "I'm going to rape you". That's considered assault too.

But because as everyone says "It's just a game" these things are considered all right. They're even encouraged. Personally I don't think the spit emote should even exist.

So all you rude teens out there...yeah, puberty is a special time for all of us, but there's nothing fictional about being really rude.

I am sure I have written this in another post somewhere, but anyways...

It doesn't matter if it's real world or WoW world, there are nice people, and some that no matter what you do, are just complete idiots...WoW however does have a good advantage in that you can simply put the idiots on ignore list...would love that feature IRL...LMAO!!!

But as the Mad Russian (LOL) said...feel free to have yourself and your GF join us on the Dunemaul server for some fun WoW times...

honestly even if its just a game, you don't say your going to fucking rape someone, thats serious shit!
im a teen and in RL if you said that to one of my friends who are girls id take a baseball bat and beat your fucking head in 
thats no cute and it sure as hell ain't funny, rape is a serious offense and is no joke. that can ruin ppl's lives. so if your a dumbass, teen or adult, don't say your gonna rape someone its not funny
