Did you say... YOURS?

Ok people, honestly. I'm tired of this. Before I begin, I'd just like to say that you own nothing.
NOTHING.
N-O-T-H-I-N-G.
N O T H I N G.
Need I continue? Based on how many asshats I've had to deal with on this issue, apparently so. But due to complete laziness, I'll just stop there and assume you get it. Please say you do.
So I'm in a party in nyzul, and the mob count is getting a bit low. Pretty soon, there aren't quite enough mobs. I head out for the next pull, and after I hit my ranged attack macro, I see the other puller try to elegy the mob I was targeting. Notice I didn't say it was mine. Just that I was targeting it. See the difference?
Bard>> {Excuse me...}
...you can't be serious.
Venlo>> N - O - T - H - I - N - G.
Bard> wtf?
Venlo>> Nevermind.
Venlo>> May I help you?
Bard>>well
Don't say it...
Bard>> You pulled my mob.
HULK SMASH
Venlo>> "your" mob?
Bard>> yes
Venlo>> So I claimed "your" mob,
Bard>> right
Venlo>> Oh fuck.
Bard>> what?
Venlo>> I think the system might be glitching.
Bard>> whys that?
Venlo>> Try having your party send a bug report after the party, I'll have all of my members do it too.
Bard>> what for?
Venlo>> Didn't you just say that I claimed your mob?
Bard>> well, yeah
Venlo>> So then what's the confusion?
Bard>> it isnt a bug, you pulled my mob
Venlo>> Wait wait, let me get this straight.
Venlo>> It isn't a bug, and I pulled "your" mob.
Bard>> right
Venlo>> So you didn't have claim on it?
Bard>> well, no
Venlo>> And it was your mob?
Bard>> yes
Venlo>> ...words fail me.
Venlo>> I'm not going to pull some sort of insult and say that your parents must have dropped you on your head as a child--
Bard>> lol
Venlo>> because it's quite obvious they punted you across the room.
Bard>> HEY
Venlo>> Until that mob's name turns red, you have no right to say it's yours.
Bard>> SHUT UP
Venlo>> So unless you want to turn this into an all out claim war,
Bard>> I SAID SHUT UP
Venlo>> I would highly recommend pulling your computer out of the wall immediately.
Bard>> STFU
Venlo>> SHIFT KEY FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WIN
Bard>> STOP THAT
Venlo>> CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL
At that point, the staging point turned into one massive landfill of douchebaggery. Our DD were all running around claiming what they could, their whm tried to claim with holy, I stole just before he could cast, they voked our aggros, we claimed their mobs that had been pulled but slept, and it was all around madness for who could get the mobs.
Pretty soon, one of the other parties left, so more mobs became available from the lower shelf, but I'm not one to kill the spirit of good sport. Having some extra mobs around, I decided it was time for somebody to learn that sharing is caring. Except replace sharing with pissing Venlo off. And replace caring with suicide.
Anyhow, I decide to drop a gift on my little bard friend, seeing as how I stole his mob and all.
Venlo's ranged attack misses.
Venlo uses Steal.
Venlo steals a Colibri Feather from the Greater Colibri.
Venlo fails to mug the Greater Colibri.
Venlo: Hey buddy, I wanted to make it up to you for stealing your colibri earlier.

Bard: oh you bastard
1 of Venlo's shadows absorbs the damage and disappears.
Venlo uses Perfect Dodge.
Venlo dodges the attack.
Bard: you better fucking not...
Venlo dodges the attack.
Venlo dodges the attack.
Venlo: Here you go, have fun!
Venlo dodges the attack.
Venlo hides!
Bard: shit shit
I couldn't exactly tell what happened after that, I was laughing too hard to look at the screen. I think it had something to do with his entire party being ripped to shreds. Something like that, anyway. But please people, remember: Don't be retarded. You have rights to nothing until you're on that monster's hit list.

Shadows of the Mind

So I'm spending my day in whitegate lfp on THF as usual when I see a particular shout that catches my interest.
Paladin: ISNM {Jade Sepulcher} {Do you need it?} uncap 1/6
Fuckin' sweet, may as well make some cash since it doesn't appear I'll be getting an invite before I have to log.
Venlo>> {Please invite me.}
So over the next couple minutes we manage to find a RDM, BLM, RNG, and MNK.
Everyone gets ready, we head to Jade Sepulcher, and begin the carnage. The plan was for when it uses boreas mantle; red mage casts sleepga, black mage thundaga3s them, we continue with the fight.
The first few runs go fairly smoothly, with an unlucky death here or there, and a few mild screw ups, but all wins. Particular notice went to the ranger, who didn't seem to speak very much English. And when I say speak English, I mean have an IQ high enough to not be considered handicapped.
As my luck would have it, I end up getting lotted for last fight. No problem, right?
(Venlo) Everyone ready?

(Venlo) ...what?
No the fuck wonder the Paladin died, the sleepga wasn't even in the area.
And guess whose fault it was that he wasn't.
Here's a hint: He doesn't speak very much English.
At this point, all I could see was a blinding light of rage and fury. And MPK. Oh, so much MPK.
Venlo uses Trick Attack.

Honestly, I don't mind when people make small mistakes. Shit happens, and humans make mistakes. But only complete tards do shit like this. And that's where I draw the line.
Except replace line with moron. And replace draw with kill the shit out of. Yeah, that sounds about right.
