Let's assume your statement that "people pulled this shit a lot less often back then" is more than just something pulled out of your ass. Basically, you're saying is that (a) you get to decide whether the theft is justified by looking at the thief for a split second down the barrel of your gun and (b) your big screen TV is worth a more than a human life. Your definition of civil society seems more in line with the code of Hammurabi than with modern, civilized systems of justice.

I enjoy skulking here because the community is damn witty and I am often entertained and informed by what I read, but the editing of stories for any basis in fact has gone from inept to transparent troll-baiting and flame-generating. We all know some of the editors are idiots, but, come on Taco, I know you can do better.

Yup. This is exactly why I quit playing any FPS online after Halo2 (and, I get p0wned). My two sons play on Xbox live quite a bit, but neither one engages in much of that bullsh*t behavior. It might be because they're mature enough to know it's stupid, but it also might be because I play games with them and will often kick back in the recliner to "veg out" and watch them play.
