[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6626553, member: 177"] [color=darkorange]You are relatively new here, so I am cutting you a bit of slack. In general - don't argue with the mod in-thread. Please take it up in e-mail of PM. I will clarify a couple of things here, but beyond this, please take further thoughts out of the thread: The fact of the matter is that, whether your were trying or not, you achieved offending people. I might suggest that your aim should now be to avoid that in the future, rather than to try to justify it. The real point is buried in that "like I see it". As a gamer, you are incredibly unlikely to have a wide enough experience to speak to the *MILLIONS* of gamers out there. This is basic statistics and representative sampling. So, how you see it probably isn't good enough to support casting aspersions on others. Presenting "how I see it" as "the trust" is a common failing of logic, and I suggest you avoid that going forward, especially when it leads to you saying things that are so uncomplimentary.[/color] [color=darkorange]Ah. Right. You know, that "But it is Teh Troof!" is one of the top defenses we see for rude behavior? If you are really that correct, your correctness will shine though, even while you are being considerate about how you present it to your fellows. If you need to tear down others to make your point, then your point probably isn't nearly so solid as you may think. And claims that you have some end-all, be-all understanding of gaming that others somehow lack is going to come off as condescending and arrogant. It will come across that way because it *is* condescending and arrogant.[/color] [color=darkorange]...the need to insult people to support their own playstyle as superior to others. Please stop casting aspersions on how others choose to play. EN World, overall, does not accept the existence of One True Way to play, and claims of the form, "You don't like it the way I do, so you are somehow lesser" are not acceptable behavior. It is, simply, rude. So please stop.[/color] [/QUOTE]
