Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Well, sure, I'd just like to slit your throat and pee in your butt.

"You get what you put into it."

When Legendary is too mainstream, you have Heroic. When you're the leader of the church of MLGeezus, have Epic in your username, and can't write 'About Me's' to save your life, what do you get?

This guy. And now, an side note: Most things I post contain lethal doses of sarcasm, so be warned, and try not to take me seriously.

Finally, a message to Bungie trolls everywhere.

Not in my opinion, but it mainly depends on the person on the internet forum.

You know what's even worse?

Since none of you are real people, yes.

Stop banning me please.

To an extent. But mostly it is a helpful tool for the anti social. An outlet.

Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

Not really.
I'd like to know your opinion on the matter, OP
EDIT: As max said, it can encourage Asocial behavior due to lack of interaction outside of the forums. I personally don't care, as i'm introverted to begin with, but it doesn't prevent me from talking to people.
Just my 2¢

Considering most people on forums are anti social I agree.

Antisocial or asocial? If the latter, yes they do. People on forums don't usually go out for real interaction, because they don't need to.
Is that true or just a repeated stereotype?

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

I use this forum to escape associating myself with losers.

It's a stereotype, however it holds some truth. Psychologically, people who don't have to go out for interaction usually wont. Forums are engaging and one can be on a forum for hours at a time.
Can internet forums truly replace real social interaction even from a psychological viewpoint?
