Sorry..
How else do you suggest to address such behavior? It's unacceptable, NO it's worse than unacceptable. It's internet terrorism imho. Bullying is just a step up from terrorism. Bullying on the internet or irl is the same damn thing.
I was being a bit extreme with what I said. Can you blame me? I'm pissed and upset right now. Angry people tend not to be rational or realistic. But no, I wasn't being serious however something should be done. Ignoring something doesn't make it go away and only makes it worse.
Just accept that those people are retards and go on with your life
^ Standing by while society implodes in itself while I'm caught in the crossfire? While these dregs of society systematically bring everyone else down with them? This behavior wasn't commonplace prior to the internet and the internet itself isn't responsible for such atrocious and immature behavior. This has been going on and only accelerated with introduction of the WWW and anonymity it provides. Nowadays such behavior and lack of respect is becoming the norm. We are either heading towards wiping out our own species i.e. complete extinction or at least the weak, weak minded and unproductive dregs of society being wiped out by due natural process. Alternatively we are heading towards a state of idiocracy and not like is exaggerated in the movie.
So acceptance and burying our heads in the sand is the only way? Afterall, these are the kids of our future *shudder* the doctors, engineers of today into tomorrow.
Well.. I'm going to take a break and try calming down. It's best for me to avoid this thread for now until discussion moves on to something else. I should know by now not to post anything controversial that goes against modern PC mindset or not involving my personal feelings, frustrations and experiences here. At least posting at Ngemu was more forgiving, folks there are more level headed and easygoing.
Jesus Christ, literally the only reason these people act like that online are because you cannot punch their face. No one knows who you are, why should you care what would happen

Because creating a separate subreddit for Dolphin stuff is a stupid, useless idea (/r/emulation exists for a reason, and so does this forum). Then you advertised it as a new official thing because you added me to the moderators, when your only content on that subreddit was "omgz it's delroth's birthday!!1!11" (quality post there). Please piss off.
Note that as of today, your sidebar still says this. Salty much?
Quote:(Delroth doesn't like this subreddit any more because we wished him a happy birthday. We have since been declared to be unofficial, so don't expect developers here)
That says a lot about the aim of your subreddit.
EDIT: Oh sorry, it wasn't the only content, there was also one post saying "don't use shall not be named". Much quality.
There wasn't an official blog back then, and your birthday was the closest thing to news announced on the forum up to that point. Practically  no-one else was subscribed, so I was the only poster, so a 100% hit rate on 'news' was pretty high. If I knew any CSS, I'd do a more professional job of making it look pretty, and if anyone else offered to help I'd graciously let them. The sidebar mostly still says that because I had a powercut last time I tried to change it, and didn't want to type everything out again, but it originally said that as a disclaimer in case we ended up with loads of attention and either people started trying to give us praise we didn't deserve or a load of pirates started requesting support faster than I could deal with them and a Nintendo lawyer decided it was cause to punish official Dolphin stuff.
Anyway, I really don't intend to hijack the discussion when there are much more important things going on. Out of curiosity, was there any particular reason other than being 4chan that they were complaining about Neobrain too?

And your response to this terrible breakdown of society as we know it (lol) is to beat the immaturity out of them?
You can't pummel someone smarter - even if it looks like someone beat the crap out of Stephen Hawking, I'm pretty sure that's not how he ended up in the wheelchair.

You can't expect too much imo from 4chan, where mostly immature conversation is going on. I was disgusted too by what was written, but i don't think you will get any mature conversation there. No i don't think such stuff should be tolerated in general, but some common sense should apply. As you wouldn't go talk with a serial killer about the value of life, likewise you can't go to an immature conversation forum in order to have a mature conversation. You just stay away from such places.
People do some really cruel things when they feel like they won't get caught or punished. Being anonymous on the internet gives them this power.
On the flip side though, it's one of the best things about the open internet (when it isn't being abused to post harmful things towards others)
