I just don't think you understand what I tried to say or how I tried to say it, kinda hard to understand you attacking me for taking up for those that criticize games and in return are picked on by people who think they should just shut up, kiss *** and not voice their opinions. Which is what we have here in a way. I don't think I offended anyone on ZAM by saying that I've seen people that I refer to as "idiots" lash out at people who simply ask devs of games to add patches for simple things such as walk or holster. Yet you keep threatening me, sigh. I've posted on Zam for years, and have seen many more heated posts than the ones I make. I think you took offense to me calling them idiots. I'm sure people who post more get more lenience, I've seen people get called worse on this very board, but your attacking me for defending honest gamers. First time for everything I guess.
If you can't make your point without ad hominem attacks, you can't make your point.
You can state and defend a position without attacking the people who disagree with you. Use facts, not insults. Talk about the product and not the people.
For myself, I'm extremely critical of most new games. But I try never to be unfair about it, and I never go after the people who disagree with me or my positions.
If you want to be critical of something and have anyone take you seriously, you have to do so without making it personal.
Btw...

Not saying you're lying or anything, but this seems like an odd claim with the facts at hand.
