I agree TA can be nice people, especially to each other and if you KNOW them, or you and Mafia would never have joined TA in the first place. I've heard this from many sources who stand by them once you get to know them well. This does not necessarily apply to outsiders though, and thats what makes the TA bond and group identity stronger. If you're in their group, you are treated well whereas outsiders are treated differently, theres that exclusivity. I understand there isnt the need to be Mr Nice to everyone but it doesnt hurt to let others know that good side of you as well. Btw i obviously dont speak for ALL of TA, just a few of the members involved in this thread. I personally like EdgE and riichard alot.

However, i disagree anyone offended by them = pussies, especially since these "pussies" rarely get offended by anything else. If i felt i was getting offended too often by everything, I would stop and think and re-evaluate my behaviour, because there would mean theres certainty something wrong with me. However, if it was not just me getting offended, but others as well, and by the same constant people I would be confidant in my belief that it was those few members have crossed the line in that instance and of course, naturally people got offended and not because they are "pussies".

Is KJH a pussy for being offended by zannoku? For those who interacted with Zannoku before can you honestly say you haven't being offended by him? I certainty dont think you are a pussy if you were offended cause the stuff he says is downright vile and hes just very offensive and confrontational whenever he speaks or has a different opinion. So no, I don't think you can ever use "this is the way I talk so deal with it" to justify bad behaviour. As for those 3-4 members i've talked about in this thread being in the same clan as them, you can rationalise and understand that they are actually nice people (to you and their group) and hence its only right to support your friends and let the world know they are nice (to you) but remember, outsiders are treated differently.

Update: For clarification, im not at all comparing Zan to TA i was trying to illustrate the point that offensive behaviour cant be justified by saying others are "pussies who unable to deal with it", as in the case with zan, it doesnt make any of us pussies, it makes zan offensive.

Lastly and ironically, i feel pinder should apply his own advice about "hardening up" to himself instead of rage quitting sc2sea and that parting shot left at baka was unnecessary, baka didn't even ban him out of respect for his past contributions, it was just an infraction. There are times when he has went out of line but he has also made many good contributive posts on this forum in the past and I hope he returns when he thinks about this and cools down.

As for the moral high ground issue, yes I tend to take it whenever i see the forum environment turn into something which isn't my vision of sc2sea and I will do my best to prevent this site from becoming the battle.net forums or cg where these behaviours are tolerated.

Thanks for your comments light and I hope to see you back for SEACL!
