[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6327581, member: 6698278"] It's a fact that there is an element of edition defenders who will flay the flesh from your bones for making any statement of preference that is not surrounded by profuse apologies and qualifications. I think RJSs blog was pretty tame. The fact that even something so innocuously couched brings out the piranhas says something about how defensive certain people have gotten. Did you really think that the devs were any different in their opinion make-up? It may shock some of you but behind closed doors I'm sure the edition wars rage at game companies just like they do here. If they happen face to face there is probably a bit more politeness. I agree with Mistwell on the human race overall. I believe though that the internet attracts and encourages brutal verbal combat. Personally as long as you don't ingest too much all at once and let it depress you I find such frankness far more conducive to understanding than the social niceties of "real" life. I'm going to write a blog soon on what I'll call world first gaming. I don't have the time for it just yet. I think it may though relate to this debate. [/QUOTE]
