Guys, I don't know how many times people need to reiterate that this is just a GAME. What is the ego boost from winning a flame war going to do? Brag about it to your friends, your significant other? I'm sure the majority of them don't care and are just being respectful by agreeing.
Can't you see that when the flame war ends, nobody wins? The results are a loss of respect from the community, friends, and perhaps even bans/infractions. Is it worth it? From experience, I've had my share of flame wars, but I realize now that it just isn't worth it.

It is my understanding that you're young, but being grateful to help that is given to you goes a long way. People don't make it to the top using a jetpack. They utilize others who are willing to help them. The least you can do is be grateful to them. If not that, repay them for their time and physical investments. There is nothing wrong to admitting that you had help. It doesn't make you lose ego and others don't look at you differently because of it
@True
I understand that you've been wronged by many. The best solution is to talk about it to the person privately. If that doesn't work out, request assistance from a higher power. I say this because all you have to do is look around. What's happening? Another flame war. Why? Because of personal disagreements. Just PM it out. It's what I've been trying lately and trust me, it helps.
@Doogy, The English statement was a bit out of line. You could tell by his attempt to add punctuation that he is familiar with the language, but it's not his first language.
