Calm down Freud, I'm pretty sure smoking won't fix anything. There's people who write even worse shit who I even have in my friends list that are just fine after you talk to them for a while. Again, online posts don't mean anything, all you can do is assume, just like I assumed your troll friend is a degenerate IRL, I could also use your circle-jerk group as an example of people who don't have anything better to do than annoy people online (which I wont since I don't know you), same as those guys who regularly make Kaladin lose his shit in the salt thread for no reason.

"There's people who write even worse shit who I even have in my friends list that are just fine after you talk to them for a while."

That's how all angry people are. After enough time, they calm down. Just because you can become calm after some time doesn't mean you don't have anger problems to speak of. Becoming comfortable with your anger is a good thing. It means you can better manage it, if you're the right person, of course. Surrounding yourself with people that write worse shit than you, of course you don't see yourself as an angry person. You see this behavior as normal, almost as though there's nothing to observe, which is why you believe there's nothing angry to speak of.

On the topic of Kaladin, he's over 30 years old and since the creation of his account, he's been posting in the salt threads. I've checked. He makes himself a target because he acts incredibly silly, is almost always posting his salty behavior and believes that he's right about every conversation he includes himself in. When people aren't agreeing with him on something, he usually defaults to "Well I guess we can't have a conversation/discussion then." He brings it on himself most of the time. Not trying to come down on the guy. I would just rather comment and respond accurately and honestly. This same level of honesty has fractured my relationship with Sherman, and I couldn't care less.

 Look Kakihara my man, I can agree to an extent with what you're saying and you really do seem like a reasonable dude, while I am stubborn as hell, I don't have actual issues and I'm sure there is nothing you can say to convince me otherwise, nor is there anything I can say to convince you otherwise unless we have a serious conversation IRL, so I think we should leave it at that. I don't want to keep spamming in this thread since we've gone far away from the topic as I'm sure most people here don't give a shit about our long ass posts, along with the fact that we'll forget about this conversation in a day.

That's just it. People are a fascination of mine. I've been studying people and their reasoning for about 16 years of my life. It is because of this that I mean to speak with people as reasonably as possible, to further the conversation and get to the conclusion the way I prefer, as best I can. We all have goals in life. I mean to understand you all more. That is my goal. So when you tell me you are a stubborn person, two things happen, the first being that I want to further pursue something, the second being that you admit to me something that is hard for many to admit, that you could be wrong. However, you have asked that this conversation conclude, and even though it is not what I want, I'm not wanting to force anyone to do something they aren't willing, and you asked politely.

Regarding my study of people, I will not forget this conversation or you after a day. I will see this conversation of ours as a success, as a secondary goal was accomplished. Lastly, this conversation is somewhat off topic, considering the thread's focus is BM.

Have a good one.

 You should go into politics man, people who know what others want to hear are great at pandering. Even better if you hold no real views on anything yourself.

I only BM if they BM first.   

Like recently, playing against an aggro deck, forget the class, where he gets off to a good start and he's emoting the threaten emote and looks like he'll win on turn 6 or 7.  I drop a couple of taunts and then Reno, them he starts roping and playing his card at the last second.  So when I get lethal I rope and emote, turn let him have another turn because I could.  I roped him again.  Nothing made me more satisfied. 

RNGesus commands forgiveness, for he givith luck and taketh it away with the never luckiness. Blessed peace be upon you, by his prophet the Holy Brode.

Only time I BM is when I'm playing with/against a friend. After all I need to assert my dominance by showing how I ruthlessly defeated someone in a children's card game.

Admittedly, I do tend to bicker like a weathered Politician, and I try my best to keep etiquette in mind while gunning for that raw nerve that people tend to expose. I also like to punish foolishness, incompetence, dishonesty and outlandish behavior that is uncalled for given the present tone. I'm not one for pandering, though. I don't believe in Idolatry, but I do believe in the Meritocracy. It's a system I preach and attempt enforcing with the conversations I have and my general treatment of people. As it is, whenever I deal a compliment to someone, I like pairing it with "Compliments are given where they are due." I'd like for more of us to take this sort of approach and live life by principle.

Who knows. I could be a Politician one day, or a Blizzard Community Manager as I had intended upon some time ago. More than anything, I wish for people to treat each other correctly and appropriately.

The worst people in this thread are the ones who say they don't BM unless the opponent does it first. What a bunch of scumfuck virtue signaling liars. You guys know you BM sometimes for no reason just like everyone else. Either that or you try to make the tiniest thing into something the opponent did to you like take 3 extra seconds on their turn. No need to lie to yourself when you're behind an anonymous name. 

Yea I BM every once in a while. Sometimes for no other reason than I hate the class the opponent is playing at that particular moment. Emotions get the best of all of us sometimes.

So it is wrong for someone to act in retaliation with a harmless act that the opponent has stated clearly is fine by them? I see no reason to view people poorly that act retaliatory. You believe them to be children? The people here are only just serving the BMing opponent their just desserts. Surely you wouldn't want the trolls to starve, would you? This place needs not such harsh punishments for the trolls, for they are sweet, sweet angels.

Well I can't speak for everyone here, but as I mentioned earlier in this thread the only times I really BM other than if the opponent does it first is during times that I beat a streamlined ladder deck with meme (simply because I get a chuckle wondering how my opponent feels losing in such a way, sometimes with a very unexpected deck), or I'm facing Kingsbane Rogue or Pirate Warrior in wild.

Other than that I do just BM if the opponent does it first, and there is always an excess of these people, even players in casual who aren't playing tier 1 or 2 decks will BM me by tossing out seemingly random hello's mid to end game when I haven't roped, emoted, or played a popular fotm net deck. Some people just want to get under your skin and for those people it usually means that you can also get under their skin easily if you just BM them back. All is fair in rng and clown fiestas.

I appreciate your efforts.

I guess I’m a scumfuck virtue signaling liar. Although I must admit I used to do it sometimes in the earlier years of Hearthstone. 

Nowadays I just greet and send a “well played” whenever I’ve had a game I enjoyed (whether I’ve won or lost the game).

I do, however, BM the fuck out of anyone who uses greet/oops/wow several times in the first few rounds whenever nothing interesting happens. I also rope when my opponent consistently ropes.

I BM sometimes, when something happens that I find funny :P or a lucky topdeck. As for people BMing me, if they rope me IDC I usually watch streams while playing Hearthstone so they are only wasting their time. As for emote spam I just mimic what they are doing and see it as an extra game. 

 Not spamming 'Wow' when a Big Priest gets Barnes from Shadow Essence is borderline sacrilege.

Question: Does anyone here have small conversations with their opponent through emotes? Some emotes act incredibly as responses to emotes, allowing for a small conversation to play out. I'm tired, or I'd supply some examples.

Honestly, as long as the banter is low, if both players emote in a fun manner, it's more like FM/GM/HM, or Fun/Good/Happy Manner.

 Your first sentence and last paragraph are in agreement. Glad you are self aware.

If I ever emote it's usually accidental.  Occasionally I'll well played after a long game that I'm not sure how I won.  But that is really rare.  

99% of the time I don't emote at all.   Now, I will say, that I've done a salty not conceding exit(just turning off my phone), so to say I've never bmed would be a lie.

And my lack of emoting extends to not saying well played back when people say well played to me after they lose. 

I guess I just think not emoting at all is more polite.   It's extremely rare, to the point I would say I almost never encounter someone that doesn't emote at all during the entire match.  

I do think people bm wayyy too much in this game, but I also grant that it's easy to misinterpret people's actions.   There almost should be blatantly rude emotes just so it's a bit more clear to figure out the asses from the people just trying to converse with you in the only way the game will allow.

I don't usually BM but when I do it is because

My opponent BM or spamming emote when he/she is ahead of me. 

My opponent knows that he/she is going to lose and takes the entire turn doing nothing hoping me for disconnecting.

My punishment for that: attacking them to 1 health, spamming emote, wait until the rope almost burn out and kill them. Those people deserve BM. They waste my time so it is my responsibility to teach them not to do that ever again by doing the exactly same tothem.

Nice way to dodge what's being said to you. No wonder you have this view of people who emote in retaliation. You have the audacity to insult people who act in return but can't reason an explanatory question and answer appropriately. Question, do you have a small skull? From what I understand, pressure on the brain makes it hard to think, so I'm just trying to figure out what your problem is.
