It is my cultural upbringing Ma'am it is for me considered an insult to not adress people formally.
So if I ever neglect to adress someone formally then I am in fact insulting them and subtly showing that I think they are a total idiot. XD

With respect Ma'am why don't you keep to the pointless idiocys of your culture that others find laughable.
And I will keep to mine. XD
Hmmm, this gets a little more suspicious each day. If addressing people in a video game forum in an informal or familiar way could actually be considered one of the idiocies of American culture then I would find THAT laughable. It is, in fact, equally if not more insulting to refer to people formally when it is so obviously contrived and disingenuous. Suggesting American culture is laughable and insinuating that we are rude due to the lack of a few misplaced "sirs" and ma'am s" is asinine. I have seen some of your posts before, you always struck me as someone who meant well and was trying to be overly polite for the sake of credibility. I don't see any problem with calling an idiot an idiot; lord knows there are plenty of them contributing to these forums. I do have a problem with a misguided sense of cultural superiority being used as a way of subtly insulting people who are just participating in a casual discussion about a video game. It just seems silly. If I have misunderstood or misread your words then I apologize friend, American bashing just always cracks me up. Good day sir =)
By the way, my worst moment happened on Ascension. I had just dropped down, grabbed the rockets and bumped up that grav lift thing. I turn to see all 4 of the opposing team at the top of the big tower protecting their sniper. I can already hear the killtacular call coming through my speakers as I fire the first rocket; its going to be beautiful! At the last second I decide I had better let go of the second rocket to clean up anyone that happened to live through the first blast. As I pull the trigger for the second time you can imagine my disappointment when instead of killtacular all I hear is "suicide". Those stupid revolving bars got in my way. It was bad enough that my first rocket didn't kill anybody in the tower and the only one I managed to actually hit was myself, it was far worse when I did the exact same thing again later in that same match. Every time I drop down for rockets since that day I have used the portal, its far more idiot-proof.
