Well I don't see how the server owner can be sued and forced to take away every players ability to express theirself "in a good manner" through sprays. Only thing he really can do is ban them from that server. I really do not see any grounds for him to be sued being that he has taken action against them by banning them.

I totally agree - doesn't a multiplayer game involve social interaction? Why would the same rules about normal social interaction not apply? Why would the fact that you communicate and interact through a game environment across the internet rather than face to face change the normal rules of etiquette, sportsmanship and politeness? It is because some people like acting like thugs - and in this environment they can get away with it. And let's be honest here - the chap is talking about CHILD PORN sprays. Which of you think that behaviour like that is acceptable in ANY circumstance? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of stalker333 Sent: 16 October 2005 09:33 To: [email protected] Subject: [hlds] Re: Child porn sprays are out of control Whisper, I agree, this "it's just a game" excuse crap is about as lame as it gets! Its the same thing as when you call in to get help with your credit card, computer, etc, and they act like assholes. They do it because they can get away with it, usually, and love to be idiots and mean to others. It's a mental issue these people have. Don't get yourself worked up over it, just ignore the idgits. -TheJointChief AKA StonedSmurf Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2005 16:08:44 +1000 From: Whisper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] Child porn sprays are out of control Reply-To: [email protected] -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] How does the "It's just a game" statement justify any of the mulitude of transgressions one can accomplish in these games, just because they can. Why is acceptable to do something online that would not be acceptable offline? I am aware of why people do it, but there is no rationale that I have seen anybody put forward thus far, that can possibily justify any of it. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds -- No virus found in this incoming message.
