    Sorry, I didn't know the server was down, no one was able to get it back up, and no one told me.

    However, now that the server is down, and I was planning to move the server today (to a new better server), I'm just going to go ahead and do that.

    Well the ping is more like a connection thing, not necessarily a server problem :p (or does he want to move the server location too?)
    But we might get better TPS with the new server, can't wait to play again!

    You really need to go to an aggression self-help group Neon, it's not healthy for you to rage so much (in general).
    Well I'm not able to read your mind behind your screen (or in any other situation), so your post in context of the server move suggested to me, that you thought that the ping was a server problem that would get resolved when Sk moves it to a better one. So yeah, not my fault that I can't read your mind and see that it was a joke or similar.

    Maybe I'll go to a self-help group for my aggression when people stop being such moronic idiots. What my problem is, is people who take what I say and then explain it to me and make themselves seem correct by my comparison since I never 'elaborate' enough. I know what ping is, I never said it was a server problem but yet you still felt the need to make yourself seem right by correcting me. But even still, a person with half a mind should think to check the location of who he is trying to correct. Like for me, I live in ireland, and most people on here know that by now and thus know that 200ms of ping is good for me with my internet. But it doesn't cross your mind.

    Whatever, forget it. Good morning and shit.

    There are two different ways people approach communication:
    1. To get an intended point across to an audience.
    2. To say what needs to be said.
    Most people tend to gravitate towards #2, but you embody it. You just just say stuff that you think should be said, but you don't care how people receive it. In this case, people received it differently, but you are not concerned at all because as far as you care, you said "what you felt needed to be said."

    What's the downside with #2? People misread into everything you say, then you have to go "correct" them, just like you had to do above. Except correcting them gets the wrong point across too, so you just dig yourself deeper, and deeper, into a hole.

    And if you dig yourself deep enough, everyone thinks you're an ass.

    The only problem with #1 is that you have to put a lot more effort in figuring out your audience and saying the right words to make sure that, after reading what you've read, they have the exact idea that you want implanted in their head.
