There's been a steady stream of this kind of crap from several people here in the last month. I'm tired of it.
But you don't seem tired of Stabbey spewing out the same crap, since the beginning of the alpha, do you? To me his "what a load of crap", "that's a ridiculous idea for any game to have" and others are on the same page with erra's "dishonest argumentation."
This is a rhetorical question.
Awesome. Now I disagree with someone on what "rhetorical" and "question" mean, too. Better and better.
Let me clarify the part that "I" "seem" to have miffed you about.
Stabbey is pretty damn blunt with opinions, and can be an ass when provoked. Same with me. Same, apparently, with you.
But I haven't seen Stabby do any of these things, unlike some I could name:
- dive straight into frothing attack mode at the first hint of disagreement.
- insist on escalating things when the provocation stops.
- condescendingly explain to other people how they think, what they want, and that their idea of fun is wrong.
And over the time period I can comment on - wasn't here for the alpha - Stabbey's contributed a *hell* of a lot of information, perspective and constructive ideas to the discussion to balance the occasional bullshit. Way more than you, I or Erra, that's for sure.
Erra launched into the noise right off the bat.
Stabbey met fire with fire.
You can tell me those are the same thing all you want, of course. This not being Fox News, and you not being Bill O'Reilly (probably) nobody's gonna cut the mike for you as soon as you're done shouting, so I don't have to look like I'm convinced.
Raze can get tired of the crap again and shut us all down, of course, which would pretty much be justified at this point.
