Here is a true story that happened to me about a year ago, in Asheron's Call.

Evey once in a while when I was bored, I would go to a newbie area and twink some newbies (cast spells on them, give them items, tank monsters for them,... to help them level).

That day, the area was almost empty except for a guy. I spent almost 3 hours helping him, and used up almost all my spell components doing so.

Then we got a little bored and went to a safe area to chat a little. This is about the conversation we had, as far as I can remember it:
Quote:

(some useless chat)

guy: "So, where are you from?"
me: "Oh! I'm from Montreal, Canada."
guy: "lol. Canadians are idiots. The french one are all fags."
I've seen lots of people bash Canadians. But I mostly see it as some juvenile crowd mentality. They are just saying that because it's the "cool" thing to do, but that one guy from Asheron's Call did offend me. I just spent an afternoon helping him. He could have showed some gratitude.
