This is cut and pasted from an accquaintance's blog. It's a rundown of several bad cyberfighting habits that plague the internet. Read the list and ask yourself if you've been one of the following at one time or another...
*****
The Superwoman: Everybody should know this one. You hit them, you kick them, you shoot them, you set them on fire... and nothing happens to them. They are invulnerable, immune to any-kind-of-attack-you-can-think-of, they never tire, they are never scared or worried, they never hesitate, they can teleport at will around the fighting area and their punches are inhumanly powerful and unavoidable. In other words fighters that do NOT react to what you do, fighters that auto-hit and of course never lose. I have no problem with truly dominant fighters, those that takes an epic battle to beat, but anyone that ignores my moves bores me. Be fair or bust.
The Wolverine-girl: A tamer version of the superwoman. Unlike the previous, the wolverine-girl does suffer damage. Your attacks will hit her, maybe even drop her... possibly even make her bleed. But don´t be fooled by her apparent vulnerability, she is as powerful as any superwoman. She's just harder to spot. Instead of superwoman invulnerability, wolverine-girl possess a healing factor... and metallic claws! No matter how hard you hit her, she will recover (usually in the same post where she reacts to your attack) and strike back in a gruesome brutal fashion. She will escalate the level of violence of any fight until she has the upper hand, each attack more savage (and ridiculous) than the previous one. When desperate Wolverine-girl will pull out her metallic claws out of nowhere... or anything else she can come up with. Foreign objects will appear in her hands no matter the setting of the fight. Flower vases will fall on top of your head, parts of the ring will break and hay bales will bury you. Although they always end more hurt and bloodied than their superwomen friends, wolverine-girls never lose. Unlike superwomen, wolverine-girls don´t bore me. They make my blood boil!
The Painsluts: I have nothing against Jobbers (girls that fight to lose). It is perfectly ok to be a jobber. The world of fighting is built over the shoulders of these brave girls and guys that go out there to get their asses kicked. A truly good jobber is an artist. There are people that know how to go down in flames and do it with grace and more important of all... FUN. I know fighters who can wrestle a broom, lose, and make it look like an epic battle. But the painslut is not a jobber. She is just a superwoman gone reverse. Just like the egoistical superwoman ignores the efforts of her opponent and cares only for her own gratification by beating helpless dummies, the painslut cares only for her own gratification by being beat helplessly. Fights with a painslut quickly turn into torture session. Her posts are extremely short as she only wants to read what you are doing to her. She will answer with some guttural scream and an one liner telling how much it hurts. Not fun, not fun at all.
The Hi-Whore! idiot: Trash talking is a big part of cyberfighting. When done right it can be almost as fun as a fight itself. Bragging, trading insults, mocking, etc. All that is very entertaining. But everybody knows that there is a time to trash talk and there is a time to talk like normal reasonable people do. Everybody, except the Hi-whore! idiot. You know you are dealing with a Hi-whore! idiot when a complete stranger messages you and starts the conversation with a trademark "Hi whore!". Excuse me? Do I know you? But there is no way a Hi-whore! idiot would listen. All she wants to do is run her mouth foul over you. She will insult you even when she doesn´t knows you at all, she will call your friends losers or idiots, even when she doesn´t knows them at all! You will always find her each time you blog a victory saying you should stop fighting jobbers to battle the best, her. And if you tell her you are not interested she will call you a coward. Is there an insult more stupid in the cyberfighting scene than "coward"? I get tired very quickly people that can't talk to you like...erh... people. Their constant and, for the most part, completely uncreative trash talking can get me frustrated in very little time. The only good thing about a Hi-whore! idiot is that they are so easy to ignore ^_^ .
The No-limit Chicken: Now this is a very personal dislike. Those who know me surely have noticed how much I like to ask questions. Most of them aimed at to how my opponents want to fight, what they like, what they dislike and of course what are their limits. And a very common answer I get to this last question and one that always makes me suspicious is "I have none. No limits". Everybody has something they wont do, something they don' t like at all in a fight. Some are very simple, like no blood or no killing. Some are more specific, like no claws to the eyes. When someone tells me they have no limits I immediately begin to wonder it they would be ok with me beating them into a bloody pulp with an aluminum bat, cutting them in little pieces with a butcher´s knife and then bring a dog to pee and eat their carcass. But people saying the have no limits are not the one that really annoy me. It´s those who try to act tough by saying they have no limits when in reality they have lots. The worse case I have experienced was a girl challenging me to catfight, saying and reaffirming she hard no limits when I asked her three times, and then she freaked out and left the fight when I started to bite her shoulder. I know very well what I don´t like and I try to always make sure my opponents know where they can NOT go. Please do the same.

Is it just me, or do we suffer from a massive infestation of Hi Whore! idiots?
