You guys care too much.

I don't have a problem with MLG.
I have a problem with what it has done to gaming and the people involved with it. And also to the people who think their opinions are better than others strictly because they play MLG (really) or in a MLG playlist.
You have somewhat of a decent point here. MLG helped to bring out the hyper-competitiveness in a lot of people, and in turn brought out the idiocy in a lot of people. However, I think this would have happened regardless of whether or not MLG picked up Halo as their flagship game. People have been douches online, and have thought they were a better person simply because they were better at a game, since Al Gore created the internet. MLG didn't start the fire, it was always burning. It just so happened to enhance it.
Now, regarding the 2nd part of your post, there are some instances where your skill/proficiency at a game has a bearing on how much weight your opinion holds in a discussion. If two groups of people are discussing what sort of changes should take place within the Ranked Slayer/MLG playlists, the better, more experienced group's opinion should carry a slightly higher weight, IMO. These are the people that know what they're talking about because they're probably playing those playlists more than the other group. But I probably shouldn't delve too deep into this part of the discussion, for fear of starting another "stats should be available to use for/against someone in a discussion" thread.
