Sulk, mostly. That or play Rock Band. Or hurl abuse at unsuspecting idiots on the internet... though obviously not on The Escapist because we don't have idiots here.
No idiots on the Escapist? I wish. You obviously haven't seen any posts by kukul or Anonymouse, have you? They're...less than friendly.
I ignored the first time I got quoted for that, in the hope that it was just a one-off, but since it's happened a second time:
Sarcasm doesn't come across well on the internet, does it? Of course there's idiots here, there's idiots everywhere so it'd be a bit silly to seriously suggest otherwise... though I do feel that they're kept under control on here to stop them ruining things.
Incidentally, I wouldn't regard the people you named as idiots, in fact they struck me as being among the more coherent types - maybe a bit trollish at times but it's not my job to call them out on that because (a) I'm not staff, and (b) it doesn't bother me because it's never been aimed at me. When I talk about idiots, I'm generally referring to the ones who can't or won't write coherently and add nothing to any discussion. No specific names because I can't think of any - they don't seem to last very long. Guess we're all irritated by different things.
