Title: Is this about you?
Writer: UsR Jason
Date: 2nd September 2010
It has happened a few times now. I write a blog entry and someone takes it personally.
If I wrote a blog about how paedophiles have a disease and should be kept away from children, logic tells me that the only people who would take offence at that would be paedophiles.
If I wrote a blog entry about people who murder people are monsters, the only people who will complain would be the murderers out there.
So if I write about someone who cheats on their partner, fucks hamsters or can't cook, the only people who will moan would be cheaters, people who fuck rodents and people who can't cook.
This brings me to last nights entry. I was basically aiming it generically out there to people who do anything to hold an advantage. It was actually prompted by an online game I play where I felt someone was trying to take advantage. It does apply to XBL however and so I decided to write it.
On C&C, no one wanted to share the Scrin teleport glitch but when they did, I suddenly won every game. Last year in FIFA, no one in single player showed me how to do free kicks but once the UsR lads showed me, I was banging them in quite regularly. With COD whether a map glitch or Forza with an epic tune, the people who helped me out were people not scared to give me equal tools for equal opportunities.
Much like I will always outfit anyone I play with to be the same as me. Because I thrive on competition. I need to know my opponent has the best tools just so I know if I beat them, I beat them and if not, then I got something to aim for.
Now it is fair to say using the logic applied above in every example that the only people who would be pissed off about last nights blog would be people who do not want equal footing with their opposition.
Does such a person exist? They would do well to keep temper in check if so and maybe realise before reacting that the only people who take offence to such blogs are the people who feel threatened by the blog.
I think if there is one thing I learned from this, it is that you do not need to lead a horse to water if you just make it rain. There is food for thought.
