Some of us take our fun a little too seriously, I guess. The solution: Quit talking about games and just play games. You'd be surprised how much you love your hobby when people aren't always there to tell you how much everything sucks.
We just have too many people (myself included--but I'm pretty good at catching myself.....sometimes) that just can't resist the urge to impress strangers with their knowledge. They tend to express that knowledge in a condescending "I'm so smart and you don't know shit!" sort of way. Unfortunately, many lack that little thing I like to call "tact". They come off as abrasive assholes instead of intelligent and respectable. Add the anonymity of the internet and the world can be a very cruel place.
