Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest This album is probably pretty well known on this forum. I won't say it's my favorite album, but it's really significant to me in that it really broadened my musical horizons. I didn't know the first thing about rap until I heard this in 2007, and from there a couple friends and I started frequenting shows and discovering a plethora of shit we loved, and still love to this day. It's got an upbeat, jazzy vibe. It's unassuming and humble, but still with lots of gusto - doesn't feel fake or over-construed at all. Definitely a golden age classic. My favorite songs on the album are probably Award Tour, We Can Get Down, and Electric Relaxation - but I could listen to anything on this album for days.

I've never got into a heated argument over pizza before.

Doesn't glow in the dark or have LEDs.

I enjoy playing with him. He's already pretty solid and would definitely improve over the course of a season.

I haven't played with him in any serious capacity, but he seems like he's pretty laid back and a good listener/team player.

1) What is your definition of cyber-bullying?
The same as normal bullying, but over the internet.

2) Have you experienced cyber-bullying?
Probably. I don't really care enough to be fazed by it.

3) In your opinion, how different is cyber-bullying from traditional bullying
It isn't. Other than that "cyber bullies" are more often (but certainly not always or even mostly) less committed. Not less committed in the sense that they won't go as far, but in the sense that when confronted with a consequence* they are more likely to back down - not necessarily because they know they are wrong, but because they are soft. Said demographic generally may want to bully or antagonize someone through non-cyber means, but don't because of fear of repercussion.

4) Do you feel that cyber-bullying is a problem in the community? (ETF2L/ TF2)
No more than it is anywhere else. Human nature is the same. We like to put things in boxes and say that X or Y environment/factor causes bullying, or that "cyber" bullying is a different kind of "epidemic" exclusive to the internet - but it's simpler than that. Cyber bullying and regular bullying are the same thing. Once one realizes that they are antagonizing someone, they make the choice to continue or cease. And while only some may do the bullying, others are thinking it.

5) If anonymity on the internet was removed, do you think it will effect cyber-bullying?
I'll start by clarifying that I think somehow removing anonymity on the internet would be a terrible idea, for a book of reasons. Would it effect cyber bullying? In terms of frequency, probably. In terms of extremity? No.

*A consequence could just be everyone turning on them and them not wanting to be ostracized; among other things

Most people who MGE are painfully oblivious to how the other person is playing. They love bitching about how they THINK the other person is playing though.

Just don't play passive and you'll probably get better/have fun.

Holy fuck. There is competitive FoF?

Team forming. High level. Banditos only. LFM, add me.

Are you fucking kidding me?

lol
