Idk. I think the guys that throw tantrums here are the same guys who would throw tantrums in real life. Doubt it's all tantrums all the time, so yeah, mainly indistinguishable from all of us everyday NPCs, but if you can't handle a forum without having a freak out there's no way in hell you're managing normal life, either.

It really depends on the person though. It takes a lot more to have a tantrum in real life versus having a tantrum online. I am going to guess most of the tantrum throwing people would be too awkward to do it in real life.

When you work in the service industry you learn pretty quick how being awkward doesn't stop you from throwing a tantrum.

That is fair. I worked at Safeway all through high school and some people are just dinks. I think everyone should have to work retail for 2-3 years when they are young.

Exactly, holding it in so they can let it out here anonymously.

We need 6 more exemplary d bags to round out a 32 person bracket. There’s so many posters I’d love to nominate but oh well. If we don’t get the volunteers I’ll dig through some of the banned peeps.

Anonymity tends to bring out the worst in people, though. You can throw a tantrum online and no one knows who you really are most of the time. If you throw a tantrum in your office then everyone knows you're an #######.

I think we do filler nominations for the last 6 spots instead of banned posters lol. I like a little chaos though

If we get a moderator to approve it, I’m 100% in. MRC what’s your decision on that?

CorsiHockeyLeauge wants to win badly, which is really annoying, but also makes me vote for others.

Definitely need some hot current contenders to fill in the last six spots. I think we’ve probably captured the banned posters to the best of our ability.

pylon, dissentowner and zamler I believe would be the top 3 for that.

I liked a lot of the banned posters, Peter12, MMM, and Polak too hopefully that guy got his sink figured out and is doing OK.

There’s one guy who would be a great contender but might be too scared.

Could probably win it. Wait, are we allowed to turn up the d***** level after the contest starts or is that cheating?
