Poll: Why the hell, did I feed the fire?

[KitsunetheFox]

I went onto the Frumpy Mom's [http://themomblog.freedomblogging.com/2010/01/06/my-bad-video-games-are-not-from-satan/42829/] blog and well, here is what I posted:

I reckon everything I want to say has been said within the first 5 minutes of you posting this, soooooooooo, you are an idiot.
I am a teenager, I play video games (as much as I can without hindering the rest of my life. I also play an MMORPG), I have a large circle of friends and I do very well at school. One of my friends also plays video games (about an hour a week), he/she has a circle of friends the same size as mine and is about equal to me on academic intelligence. Video games has made no difference here. Let it go on record that I?ve been playing video games for about 9 years now, for a longer average period of time per day than my friend and I still have an equal intellect to my friend,
You have encountered what is known as ?the extremes?, which you appear to have accepted as the norm.
You deserve every harsh yet well researched comment you get.

This thread may seem pointless to you, but right now, I just needed to get it out of my system, sorry for this. I just have no idea why on earth I decided to give the retard any attention and I hoped (for some reason) that one of you wonderful people out there would have a clue.

Please don't flame me for my lapse of judgment and ignorance.

....You need to vent because you commented on someone who dislikes video games?
I can't imagine how you must feel when something that actually matters happens.
OT: I personally don't care what you do when you are on the internet. As long as it doesn't affect me personally, you can say whatever you want. That's partially why I don't mind "frumpy mom" in the sense that she doesn't do anything to me.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

Hooray, another thread about someone who's already getting more attention than she ever deserved. What joy. ಠ_ಠ

You're not a retard for reacting that way to her post. You're retarded for making a thread about it when there are already like five threads too many about it.

It's a reflex. It takes a long time to get rid of it.

Unless you have brain-surgery. Or hypnotism by flashing-ninja avatar.

... That will be $5

Fuckin' HUB and his flashy ninja >.>

I'd say it's pretty natural, mate. That's life, it's what all the people say.

I'm ashamed of those 12 people who voted 'yes.'
Can't you love your fellow escapist?

I have little tolerance for my own failure due to my general string of successes in academics and little exposure to "important" failures of my own. This leads to me having low self-esteem, being unable to cope with failure when it does happen, and me being overemotional at times.

Sorry if I've wasted your time people. My fault for being naive of the bigger picture. I realise now that I've given the retarded woman more publicity rather than actually help the situation, I apologise for this.

 

[TheZapper]

You're not retarded, you just need to learn to resist the temptation to argue with such people.

This and the majority of emails to Atkinson are doing nothing except adding fuel to the anti-videogame fire.
I have just had a fantastic idea for a short story actually.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Of course you are retarded.
The very futility of your attempt to get some minimal approval on a website proves it.

If you think about quoting this and asking about my unnecessarry and inappropriate hostility, stop it right now. Bad. Idea.

Well, I'm glad that my idiocy gives inspiration.

Side note: It's funny to see that while the majority who post in the thread say I'm not retarded, more than half the people in the polls say that I am.... irony!

Your friend is a he/she? Or has the brain-killing pew-pew robbed you of the ability to distinguish between genders?

I believe it's called "Saving my friend's anonymous-ness". Every little bit I can keep secret about my friends from this woman, the better. (She's probably the kind who axe-murders)

Um..I'm seeing certain flaws in your logic here, but as you wish. =]

My logic is always flawed 50% of the time.

I suppose that matches with the roughly 50% gender divide between human beings.

I have a feeling that quite a few Escapists are going to find themselves minor blog celebrities, used as prime examples of how video games are having a negative affect on the youth of today.

There's feeding the fire, and then there's driving a flaming truck full of ordnance right up to the enemy lines, only for them to extinguish the flames and use your own ammunition against you.
