You gotta love the sales crowd. Its easy to forget that GOIO is a sad exception to the way online communities generally are.
I did overhear this great bit yesterday.
Guy makes a ridiculously sexist comment (can't remember what but the c word was used), and the whole lobby, which had been loud previously, just goes quiet. Someone finally broke the silence.
"We don't do that here."
"Oh, well thats actually quite a relief."
And the jerk turned out to be not the most horrible person after all.
Sometimes just the expectation of good behavior is enough to enforce it.
Richard LeMoon:
Absolutely. Crowd mentality at its best... and worst. I have been in lobbies that were completely full, and some jerk started making comments against either race or sex, was told it was not acceptable, continued, and the entire lobby just picked up and left. And in the spirit of such things, a parting shot from a lady as we all left a 3v3 lobby:
"I hope you enjoy playing with yourself... I am sure you are used to it."
Tanya Phenole:
I remember, that on previous sale in beginning of March, i was bulliued quite often, and I changed my name to Nicolas Phenole. Being a young boy is less judged than being a woman. Actually, it is a bit creepy how much people liked me as a young boy >.<
