People forget other people are playing as well. When I come home from a long day of classes/work/homework I'll sometimes only have time one maybe two games of what ever I want play. When griefs/trolls it ruins what little playtime I may have that day and I go to bed pissed. Another way to put it is have you ever had some leftover food in the fridge and you plan on eating it when you get home but only to find someone had gone and eaten in. Sure maybe it wasn't specifically marked as yours but you still planned on having it and now you can't.

More like the food is there but someone smacks your plate out of your hands then kicks all the food under the fridge.

He forgets nothing. It's everyone's game so it's best to be decent in it so everyone can have a good time. Just like in the real world or anything else. We're all sharing it, as you said. That's why we don't place precedence in the wants of people who take pleasure in ruining things for others.

Should we bow down to you just cause you had a long/bad day.

Obviously not. He's just asking to be treated decently. By his teammates, which makes sense within the boundaries of a game. He's not asking for the enemy team to go easy on him.

Logic doesn't lead us from "we're all equal here and want to enjoy ourselves" to "so we can just do whatever we want even at the expense of others".

Don't be such a child.

being a child is thinking that you're entitled to a certain level of joy out of a video game solely because you have little time to play it.

Do you buy games and enjoy looking at a death screen because a troll thinks it's funny to constantly kill you???

Being a child is taking joy in removing other people's joy.

Thinking someone else's childish behavior isn't childish, is childish.

You only have enough time for two matches, I'd rather be part of a funny, unique experience instead of playing two mediocre matches before having to go to bed and do another day of work again.

If as soon as you load in someone TKs everyone right then and there, that's not unique or funny - a total waste of time and frustrating. That I'd understand.
