weak-willed, spineless, brown-noser, sycophant, ass-kisser. there is a reason someone like this is called a 'tool'. you're there to be used when needed. there is an inherent lack of self respect in this that even so called 'friends' recognize. they won't respect that trait in a person, even if they cultivate it. hence the reason once a difference of opinion arises, the friendship is called into question. never compromise your own ethics. if you lose a friend over a legimate difference of opinion because he/she requires you to disregard your self-respect, then that person was never a friend to begin with.
jsp is full of little cliques like this. I see them on the ladder slasher forums and on the trading forums. some kids idolize the 'bad boys' and want to be just like them, so they follow along, because they think they can be cool. a high warn level is sexy because it makes you a 'bad boy'.
the other side of the coin are the ones that function under the guise of doing good. there was such a group, whom I considered to be nothing more than a bunch of thugs in sheeps' clothing. they dominated the forums with ego-massaging, post after post after post. they essentially controlled the item market. they shared items in the name of 'teamwork', which allowed them as a group to rise to the top of the ladder, while the rest of the players could only look on in amazement. we saw what happened to a couple of that group who dared disagree with pack's mind-set. they were shunned and cast-out by their 'friends'. many of us 'outsiders' applauded their integrity. eventually the disagreement became so strong that this group seemed to fall apart. how weak the strands that bound this group, because it was based on lack of respect for each others rights and opinions within the legal limits of these forums.
this is just one outsider's view of the past month or so within these forums.
ON the fucking spot dayum
