    Did you not expect anyone to say a word about your comments ?
    Oh wait , we are on a website where positive comments are allowed but when a blog that misconstrudes isolated incidents into a label for the entire gaming community results in "being ashamed" doesnt condone blacklash from the readers.

    Your readers are gamers. Of which you said your ashamed.
    Perhaps I should ask you what your point is exactly ?

    Are gamers a unique species and we are the only genre where isolated incidents speak for the whole of the group and everyone who doesnt like that Idea should stfu ?

    No thanks.

    Humanity as a whole has a pretty bad reputation when it comes to abuse of fellow homosapiens , I should weep for the species but I would hope that the entire race doesnt consist of douchebags. So I rest my case , You cant say youre ashamed of gamers and defend yourself without having a viable point to make. If youre ashamed of a certain class of Gamer then be specific , saying youre ashamed of the group as a whole is retarded , youre writing for them and now youre ashamed of them ?

    Gotta agree with Kerby on this one... I must say this article paints gamers as a sad, pathetic bunch..

    Its not gaming, its anonymity. You find this behavior everywhere on the internet.
