If I was prone to that (and at rare times due to other RL stress, I have 
been), I wouldn't post at all. After all, my style of play is one that was

and still is to a great degree heavily looked down upon by most who post 
online. People insult in passing because everyone knows it's inferior play

style. So I see it more than most.

That btw is one of the main reasons people tend to react worse to me than 
anyone else. Being seriously 'in the flow' with most posters, they just 
flatly don't expect to see an opposing view. Encountering one injuries
them 
more, and causes them to viewer the 'attacker' in a far worse light than 
they deserve because he is very much 'the other'.
