Simply rejoin his game.

Ya huh. Ya huh.
You’re still misunderstanding what I’m saying.
I’ve been saying all this time that even in the few cases that we could be wrong, who cares?
"They’re just funny pictures showing people being poor sports. You’re making too much out of it. "
A man’s life =/= Online disrespect
It would be a big deal if someone was convicted of murder without 100% certain evidence.
It would not be a big deal if someone was placed on a blog of people that disconnect without 100% certain evidence.
But I’ve been saying that this whole time, so although you probably won’t understand my rephrasing, maybe you’ll understand an example:
Let’s say you have a little brother. Let’s also say you have some delicious leftover Chinese food in the refrigerator that you’ve been waiting all day to much on when you get home. However, when you get home, you see that your Chinese food is gone and the box that contained the food is in the trash can in your little brother’s room.
Now are you going to completely ignore the fact that it’s gone due to the fact that you didn’t see him eat it himself and you can’t be 100% sure that he did?
Or are you going to use deductive reasoning based on reasonable conjecture to determine that he ate your Chinese food?
See how the mystery of the missing Chinese food is more equivalent to the disconnects than a man’s life is?
Apples and oranges, bro. Apples and oranges.
And, man, you sure jumped on the ad hominem bandwagon in a hurry! But if you still don’t get what I’m saying, I’ll keep looking at funny pictures of people being bad sports and you can keep making too much out of it.
I noticed that “guys” in your post is plural. Don’t worry, I’m just arguing towards a point. I argue with friends of mine all the time, and at the end of the day, we’re still friends. It’s Cap’n High Blood Pressure here that’s getting heated.
“Idiots on SRK”? I’m wounded! :sad:
Ha, well at least one person seems to get my point!
That’s how I see it.

It isn’t just about SF4. There’s a bigger social issue here.
I’m not sure you’re the kind of person who should be arguing about social issues when you verbally attack someone who wants to have a calm, intelligent discussion with you. Telling someone to “shut the flying fuck up” and stating that reading more of their posts will lower your intelligence rather than just sticking to the issues shows a definite lack of social grace.
I’ll agree to this. Quitting, poor sportsmanship (particularly in cases of threats of violence) and in the more extreme cases, cheating, is indeed a larger social issue, and which is why in principle I am totally down with social exposure/ostracism.
That said, it is also important to bear in mind that there’s really only so much that you can do, and while infuriating, chances are for this particular instances (in SF4) these particular individuals are probably not going to change/get better simply because of the systemic nature of these problems.
…it’s also my guess that aside from the legit net-drop, or the “refusal to continue due to bridging/cheating,” edge cases, it’s very likely that these individuals live life the way the play SF4,… unsuccessfully.
…and since I’m baiting and being deliberately inflammatory, I’d be willing to bet money that the vast vast majority of these people probably don’t have very much that they earned themselves as unrepentant monuments to mediocrity in their personal and professional lives, and/or (if they’re lucky) are simply riding the coattails of having successful parents/family who’s singular failure was passing on their work and moral ethics, or somehow someway “know someone,” or married into money.
So fine, let them go on boosting, cheating and rage-quitting, because if that’s the only way you can be “successful” in something, then they’re going to need all the help and “ego boosts” they’re gonna get lest they wake up one day in their late-30s, early 40s and realize just how much of their life they wasted.
…and everyone will still laugh at them.

(and no, this is not auto-biographical… but I’m sure that jab/joke is on it’s way in a subsequent post. 
)
Just wanted to add to the Abel pics you posted with this one.
A Ken I was playing against DC’ed during mid-flight…looks like Abel is taking off into the sky with a red blurry cape.
Actually, the dead giveaway for which version someone’s using is the font used for player names:
PS3/PSN: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e114/MugenSC/IMG_3320.jpg
360/XBL: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/Seminasuke/zehdrop.jpg
360 player name font has thicker lines and thinner letter lengths, looks sorta like Arial/Helvetica.
Social grace =/= social issue. I had more to say, but it would have lacked “social grace.”
I agree, wholly, that poor sportsmanship and cheating are social issues that need to be dealt with. Quitting, however, is fuzzy. Let’s assume that Capcom Japan did what they SHOULD have done: when a player disconnects, he’s awarded a loss, and the other player awarded a win (this is how it works in most HDR matches, and in Kongai, just to name a few examples.) In this case, quitting (whether due to “rage” or something else) is equivalent to forfeiting. And forfeiting a match, while questionable given the ability to make comebacks in a great many 2D fighters, is hardly wrong.
The big issue is a poorly thought-out online framework from CJ. They’ll never change it, but relying on social ostracism, especially when the potential exists to ostracize someone not guilty of the action they’re accused of, is not a viable answer. Especially since BP and win/loss records mean absolutely nothing.
I’m thinking he’s saying that your “lack of social grace” gives light to another “social issue” that you yourself are advocating and therefore aren’t in a particularly favorable place to point out harmful “social issues.” That’s just my interpretation, though.
A proper display of forfeiting would consist of someone standing there and getting beat up on so that the battle point change could be made. Maybe it’s done so that points are given to people in other games when you disconnect, but this is not one of those games, so the comparison doesn’t stand. Unplugging your cable quite obviously shows other intentions.
It’s kind of funny that you think that way, since that’s kind of been the basis of my entire argument. Battle points mean nothing. These pictures mean nothing. The fullest possible extent of “social ostracism” these people are facing is that a few people that visit a website just might see them on that website, recognize their screen names, and avoid joining their lobbies in an online game.
And yet somehow that’s supposed to carry as much weight as a man convicted of murder being locked up with circumstantial evidence?
It’s just a website full of funny pictures of people being poor sports, man. You’re making too much out of it.
I agree there.
All your disconnects are belong to us.
