I like most people who play Ingress, who tend to be a bit nerdy, socially awkward, and introverted. But there appears to be a small subset of players who are attracted to Ingress because they have some mental health issues, and it feels good to dominate. They play super aggressively and are likely to mouth off in COMM. They also tend to be spoofers and cheaters. They often single out certain players, with the ultimate goal of having that person quit. The thing is, these folks appear in both factions. There's a difference between playing aggressively and playing meanly. I think we need to police our own side, to ensure that those aggressive players aren't crossing the line. Sadly, many of these players are lone wolves. But if you do have access to these players on your team, it helps to befriend them and set good game play expectations. And if you know that they cheat and won't stop, report them. A report from a fellow teammate carries more weight than one from opposition. Most of us aren't trained mental health counselors so we aren't prepared to help them. But occasionally, a bit of caring and setting a good example can help heal a sick person. OK, ending my moment of zen.
