Why is everyone throwing salt?

I'm not the greatest at this game, I'm not the worst at this game. I play with friends after work and later at night to shoot the sh1t and knock back some beers before bed. I've done the whole iron banner thing, ([i]twice to level 5[/i]), I've done VOG normal & hard, I've done Crota normal/hard, I've even got necrochasm. Even after all that I can still honestly say... I'm not the best at this game but I'm not the worst. I know I'll be getting all sorts of hate thrown my way because of my stats, which leads me to my question: [b]Why is everyone so mad?[/b] "You're trash" "youz a scrub" "get guud". Every time I check a forum topic I see these responses. I see guys with 32s across the board and they still get salted. I see people with 3.0 k/d+ and they're called lagger noobzzz. Are these incendiary statements just indulgences of a generation hiding behind a thin veil of anonymity? or is it that these individuals need constant reaffirmation that they have accomplished something of value after investing so many hours? [spoiler]sorry, but I don't think Malcolm Gladwell's "10,000-hour rule" applies here...[/spoiler] Maybe some think themselves genuinely special because of their achievements. So, why are [b]you[/b] so mad?
