Of internet and fights

Ok, I agree that online fights have their own advantages over oral altercations. Internet fights may still make sense when they support/disprove an issue. But its plain rubbish when the fight is out of personal disagreements. The brighter side of it is that you could say whatever you want without fearing the *consequences* and shit. But look at the darker side. Ok here

- You're having a heated argument over whatever little issue. The other person has slandered you enough and the score is loser vs bigger loser : 1-0. Your turn. And just when you're about to press enter, well you get disconnected. Final score: Loser- 1, bigger loser- 0, internet- 1000

- *that orgasmic feeling when you've sent a carefully crafted insult flavoured with abuses you came up with*. That. Well, now obviously you're expecting the other guy to behave in a certain manner. By certain I mean either typing a bigger insult than yours or saying 'hhmmmm......ffuuuuuuuuuuuuucccck you' and going offline. But but but, to your amazement he/she sends 'Hey i gtg, ttyl sweets. Bye gn sd <3 :*'. Its like, none of your actually made an impact. And even if they did, there's no way to know. Sad indeed.

- We all must agree that the disparity bet'n typing speeds do exist. And its highly possible that you might be the slower one. *Loser is typing a message*. After one minute, *Loser is still typing a message*. After 3 minutes, *there's a reason why he's called loser*. Thats it, the other guy's patience has been tested, So while you're typing/ checking for typos and grammatical errors for the 3rd time, the other person sends the message 'what a retard!' and goes offline. Embarrassment could have been averted had it been a verbal argument, no?

- Again, suppose you feel triumphant after typing a 100 word insulting reply. But alas, the feeling is short-lived. Under ordinary circumstances, you expect a longer reply. But all you get is 'Mail me the precis tomorrow.'. Irritating, no?

- Also, the online fight ends the moment the other loser spots a grammatical/spelling error. You're pwnd, live with it.

- Now you're wondering why the person you're fighting with isn't replying back. For the heck of inflating self esteem, you presume that he's got nothing sensible to offer. Well yea, pretty much. But little did you know that your opponent wasn't even paying attention to your messages (author's assumption). That's because you find yourself tagged in a picture as a result of some retarded facebook application. Typical abeyaar moment.
