So, today I was doing an Eye of the Storm battleground, minding my own business, guarding the blood elf tower against various hordies trying to assault it. It was me, a hunter, and a disc priest against an arms warrior and a tree and some other DPS that died fairly quickly. I made a bad call in that was busy mana burning and dispelling the innervate on the druid instead of healing the disc priest who was getting wailed on by the warrior. I did check on him occasionally and I saw that he wasn't dead yet. The tree got blown up and then our disc priest died, and then the warrior hit me a little before the hunter shot him full of arrows and he died. We'd won.

Then, this little message popped up on my screen

[Thachurch - Sargeras] whispers: you fucking suck
[Thachurch - Sargeras] whispers: pvp isnt hard

And I realized that this was from the disc priest who I didn't heal, and I realized that it probably sucks to die when someone's there that can save you.

[Me]: i'm sorry, i was busy mana burning and dispelling the tree
[Thachurch - Sargeras] whispers: you should have healed me it would have bought you more time
[Me]: i know, i should have healed :(
[Thachurch - Sargeras] whispers: you should just leave
[Me]: i feel really bad :(
[Thachurch - Sargeras] whispers: stop wasting my time
[Thachurch - Sargeras] whispers: if you dont know how dont pvp i have a way higher rating than you im sure and pvp isnt that hard

And then I /afk'd because I had a meeting to go to, and clearly my tactic of trying to make him feel bad for picking on someone nice was failing because clearly he was a festering anus blister.

So on my way to my meeting I was busy steaming and fomenting plans for revenge, or at least trying to rationalize to myself why he had a 1700+ rating whereas I did not, and I came up with various comments such as "Oh, I'm sure he's a total dick and he's probably 14 and acne-ridden and lives in the suburbs and is full of nerd rage." But then, I realized, I visit home frequently to see my mom in the suburbs and have acne sometimes and was, at the time, totally nerdraging.

"Oh, but I'm sure he's totally bad at school and spends all his time in arena, which is totally dumb anyway." But then I realized I spent most of my time raiding and not doing homework, and raiding takes much less brainpower than pvp.

"Oh, but I'm sure he's a totally unattractive lout with no social skills and has no friends." And although I have friends, I know for sure I'll never be a Cool Kid because of my woeful skills of social anything, and I'm borderline Pleasantly Plump (but not quite).

"Oh, I'm sure he has a small weiner."

"Oh, I'm sure he's never kissed a girl." But, then, I haven't kissed much of anything either.

And thus, after an annoying string of realizations, I conclude that being socially crippled by video games and the internet and by being gay is sort of too much for one person to handle and that I lag behind the average greasy straight 14-year old wanker, and it sort of sucks.

But at least I'm not an asshat.

A question to the folks reading this, do you believe in the idea of qualia? It's the difference between schoolin' and doin'--how would you compare learning about being kissed, and actually being kissed? Literature, literature, literature, a kiss that sucks the air from your lungs: transmutation to fire; a kiss that's so soft you wake in the night looking for the ghost that grazed against your skin. A sloppy, wet mess.

Anyway, if anyone was wondering, this is the dillhole that probably deserves a cement enema: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Sargeras&n=Thachurch
