[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7920070, member: 6785785"] I don’t think that was at all the tone of that post. It was more “I’m not going to defend my opinions against baseless accusations of attributing other playstyles as badwrongfun, but instead I’m going to focus on what I think is the relevant topic”. Basically, “I’d prefer to have a conversation about gaming techniques rather than a conversation about how to converse about gaming techniques”. It seemed to me that it was the use of the term “degenerate”. I took lowkey’s exception to the term being that it implied a certain playstyle was a degenerate playstyle. I took Manbearcat’s reply to clarify that what he meant was “a desired mode of play that has somehow become an undesired mode of play”. I think that was a clarified well. The point was also made that such clarification shouldn’t be needed as often as it seems to be around here, and I feel like that seems to be what caused the confusion. But a dismissal of the original post? Not at all. [/QUOTE]
