I disagree. To me, growing up implies increased self-reliance, not expecting laws or goodwill or luck or help from others will suffice. It's just good fortune when they do.
You're not being nice at all. Saying things in a verbose and faux-polite manner is not being nice. You implied at least one member was a psychopath who lacked empathy and compassion in the real world due to how he plays his video games. Another member you told "your a special kind of crazy". How is this nice? You can't make personal attacks in one paragraph, then claim the olive branch in another.
You've been repeating things we strongly disagree with in slightly different ways, and then seem to imply we are being unreasonable because we continue to disagree despite these slight phrasing adjustments.
Let me make it crystal clear. We are not in agreement. I have no opinion on you as a person, but a very bad opinion about the points you've made in this thread. I kind of wish a mod would lock this already, it is going nowhere.

oh its hurts >< have i missed something here?
i said '
yup. think its called growing up'
in agreement too:
''Most kids, at least the ones I remember,
expect to have to be able to take care of such situations themselves. There was always a tacit understanding that if you knock down someone's sandcastle that they'll knock down yours, or build their second one on top of you. Peace through implied violence, not the appeal to non-existent higher powers.''
you say you 'I disagree' then agree ;

>< what is happening to the interweb, is this why no one can hold a conversation
..and no i'm not being 'faux-polite', i tried the nice way before the quips

as for lacking empathy, its a well know condition of something i wont mention here, it's not to be ashamed of, and makes life very confusing for the people that suffer with it. I think its important to help explain to others, how such people see the world. In-fact, there are government campaigns in place to help such cases.
A lot of the upset and misunderstanding is due to people know knowing how others see the world.
The people getting blown up not understanding how the ganker see the world (not all ,some), and calling for them to be stopped.
But that we need to understand the gankers a bit better. Their motive for what they do are not the same as if i a 'carebear' was to do the same action.... but when someone gets ganked, they project their reasoning onto the ganker, who has a very different outlook on the world.
This leads to misunderstanding and unfair blacklash toward such gankers, who see the world different.
believe it it or not, i'm trying to help the gankers side (not the griefing parts, ship crew and such,that's naughty) but they seem to think i'm against them >< (not all, some understand what i'm doing)
Now start reading what i'm saying, which its evident you are not, from the opening of this reply
