Is it just me?

XBL needs a little reform.

Now, let me just say, I <3 XBL...  $50 a year, and I have access to phenomenal games online, great matchmaking, and reliable connections.  I in no way shap or form have a grienence with the finances or maintnence of their servers.  However, my gripe is in the public domain.  If I hear that I'm a "fa**ot" one more time because I'm out shooting someone, I just might put my wireless controller through my LCD.  I know, I don't have to wear the headset, I don't have to have their voices come through on my T.V., but honestly, I've met a lot of cool people online, and I'm not willing to give up the chance for some "social" interaction while I play...  hell, online games are the reason I bought a next-gen (I know, it's the current generation at this point, but you know what I mean.  I would have been fine playing my PS2 offline if the new generation didn't have such amazing online capabilities.  I didn't play the original x-box too much, just at friends houses, and not much at that.  So when I got online a little over a year ago on my brand new (soon to RROD) 360, I pretty much lived with that headset on my head.  In that time, I've come to a conclusion.  There needs to be an application process to obtain a headset.  I don't mean a form you fill out, I mean serious face to face interview, observations in the home, and covert survalience 24 hours a day for a week. 

For example...  Little Johnny wants to communicate while playing Halo 3... so he calls Microsoft and sets up an appointment at his local Gamestop.

Interviewer:  *Holds up picture of a puppy*  How does this make you feel?

Johnny:  Awwww... how cute.

I:  *Holds up pic of tank*  And this?

J:  Cool!  how many hit points does can it take?

I:  *Holds up pic of enemy with aiming right at you*  And finally?

J:  #%@in mother%^!%@$#  c*&^*&^ *(*cking f&^(*&ot.

I:  Thank you for your time sir...  we'll inform you of our desicion... which will be 'No Headset".

Also, while I'm on the topic, I'll play top dollar if someone can locate on a street map the players who sit in silence the whole round, and pre and post game lobby, only to become the most irritating individual since gilbert goddfried when a loading screen comes up, thus making it impossible to see who the hell it is.  Stupid songs, vulgarity, racism...  what the hell?  I don't care how high you are, how hot your girlfriend is, how rich you are, because that the beauty of games... online, we're all just pixels.  We're all just sitting in front of a TV, mouth probably open a little bit, and if anyone were watching your face that didn't know you were gaming, they'd probably think you had tourettes.  no matter what you do day to day, online we're all the same nerd.
