Her...</title><content type='html'>You want to know how to prove your innocence?  Here&#39;s a few tips:&lt;BR/&gt;1) Use proper grammar and sentence structure.&lt;BR/&gt;2) Scream in real life, but take your time composing your answer when you type.  Read what you have typed before you press enter.&lt;BR/&gt;3) Take your time explaining yourself.  Why rush?&lt;BR/&gt;4) Swearing at a GM or another player is a separate, bannable offense.  Why should the GM bother to investigate the truth of the original call if you&#39;re going to hand him an offense he can ban you for?  Follow the Shakespeare method for insulting someone if you have to; foul comparisons instead of foul words but better yet keep your opinions to yourself and stick to the FACTS.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Yelling at someone who is enforcing rules or supposed to be helping you never works.  It works even less when you don&#39;t have body language or vocal intonations to help decipher what is really meant. Rules are rules, and FFXI is a game, not a country.  You don&#39;t have rights, you get privileges, and those privileges are granted to you by Square and can be revoked at any time. Or in this case, fed to a dragon.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/114608376334548720/comments/default/114614497172571130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/114608376334548720/comments/default/114614497172571130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2006/04/gms-of-world-unite.html?showComment=1146144960000#c114614497172571130' title=''/><author><name>Meroduin</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/12449242505853125574</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://bannable-offenses.blogspot.com/2006/04/gms-of-world-unite.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-114608376334548720' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/25324432/posts/default/114608376334548720' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1825440796"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="6:36 AM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324432.post-114612629066235165</id><published>2006-04-27T01:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-27T01:24:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Dave, your posts are always funny.
