When I started on KGS, I floundered around but got on my feet due to a few nice players. Sure there were some mean ones, but overall most whom I played were willing to give reviews and were polite. As simple courtesy, I gave them their due respect and politeness. It's even tradition in go to be polite to your opponent..... So when I got stronger, I thought it'll be nice to help out some new beginners, and I like going around seeing some 30kyu games and giving a few reviews and encouragement along the way. Generally I'm nice, unless you start pissing me off, which is rare......
Until now................. For the past three days on kgs, the beginners I talk to are rude and arrogant. When they ask a question and an answer is volunteered, they don't say thanks, they mock the person who has volunteered the information. Such as a simple correction on the ranking types - kyu, not kyo, was met with 'Shut up'. An explanation about handi games affecting rank was met with a 'That wasn't what I asked' even though that was exactly what the person has asked but wasn't an answer he wanted. Come on, a handi game of a 30k against a 9d? How the heck is that suppose to give you a rank, but of course the beginner just wanted to 'know' that he 'can' get a rank by playing against a 9d.......................
I'm finished with my rant...................humbug

Niflheim represents both light and darkness, of the celebration and distaste of life, of musings and incoherent thought. It is an outlet for personified angst and pessimism with chuckfuls of laughter and smiles.
It is Taka's way of drawing out all the little disturbing thoughts giving rise to nightmares, a way to self reflect, a way to seek solace.
