[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7605807, member: 85555"] It always goes both ways, but only when both sides are pushing a playstyle. I've been in a lot of these threads, and not everyone is always pushing a playstyle. Frequently people are just defending their own against an attack from another poster. There is a difference between pushing a playstyle (which is what Hussar seemed to be doing) and expressing an opinion about what you like. Just go back and look at the entire discussion involving performance and things like how to play dwarven characters. There was push back because he was characterizing other approaches as less creative. These threads almost always boil down to some kind of playstyle dispute (specifically discussions involving this group of posters), and the language and models that get put forward almost always seem like a way of making that playstyle prime. And I would argue that is what Hussar was doing with performance. He eventually backed off, but he continued to push for the playstyle in question. That is why I am so resistant to adopting the language and models put forth in these threads (they don't usually seem like an honest attempt at objective analysis of play). [/QUOTE]
