Starcraft is indeed unblockable.
Since my hiatus, I have tried to learn how to better manage how I deal with internet discussions. I hope that one day I can be on the staff but I still have a long way to go as far as being diplomatic about things. I've had plenty of my own heated arguments in the past, and that is something that I continue to work on.
The best way for me to accomplish better diplomacy skills starts here and if I allow myself to get so worked up over someone else's words, then it makes me no better than the person who started it. I'm still going to have my moments, but this time I can be more prepared and put more thought into my response vs just me flying off the handle as I've done in the past. Doing that never really resolved things and I'm sure there were quite a few complaints about my attitude.
I'll be 45 years old next year and if I hold on to misplaced anger, it doesn't do anything other than stress me out and piss me off. That surely has never gotten me anywhere before. I'm constantly a work in progress. The field I'm going into, will no doubt throw me into discussions with many diverse personalities. I have to learn how to handle myself accordingly.
