@ Viper:
I understand you are trying to be down to Earth by participating in these kind of conversations. But I advice you not to.
1) Believe it or not, more people will dis-respect you no matter how respectable you are. When the King are too friendly to his soldiers, the soldiers eventually think they are in the same class as the King.
2) When you are trying to prove you are better skilled player than your competitions, you should do that by playing and not by talking. Because playing is your strength, while talking may not. So it may show the weak side of yours.
3) Through your talk, you show your personality. Some may like while some may not like your personality.
If you only play, people can not hate your personality but can only hate you because you beat them, which is definitely the hatred you want to receive.
4) By not participating in these conversations with the common folks (with regard to AOC), the community will miss out more than you miss out. And that is the community's problem, not yours.
So if i were you (a 2k6 player), I would just leave these folks with themselves and save myself the headache. If someone wanna talk, gain the rating or be in my friend list.
