It is really shame that people go this much length for these silly things, not like it can change your life. Sometimes people think that their character is based on what they do and how they act, which is wrong but people think that. Like how a "lawyer" is just a lawyer in many people's eyes, nobody talks about if he helps the poor, or if kicks kittens or whatever bad thing, it is just lawyer and that's it.
Same goes online, people just want to be "that" guy (in this case forum thingy) and suddenly that becomes a big deal but they do not realize that while they are fighting for that spot, they are also doing stuff that is hurting their image as a whole. I rather have a person who failed but nice over a person who succeeded but a dick. This has to be taught in schools so that kids would know that even if they fail the class but treat everyone nicely, they are good people.
