[QUOTE="Tao, post: 4362372, member: 62326"] I am sure that you never react more favorably to people who aren't calling you "morons", and that you give a calm and rational evaluation to people who are insulting you. Most people, however, tend to respond better to respectful, well-reasoned statements than they do to insults. This isn't an insight into WotC's business strategy. This is the basic psychology of social dynamics that holds true across every strata of human interaction. I am genuinely surprised that there are so many people who seem taken aback by this statement. ::shrug:: Nope, but I've also been careful to preface my statements with "in my opinion" and "I can't speak for the rest of the company". I don't have any kind of special designation that labels me as a representative of WotC on this board. Morris is, however, clearly labeled as a representative of ENWorld. Additionally, I have tried to offer constructive targeted criticisms at specific issues, along with possible solutions and recommendations. I admit, that I was a bit defensive at times, but I feel that I have steered clear of any personal or professional attacks. You seem to be making it fairly clear that you don't have any interest in contributing to any kind of solution. You seem more anxious to shoot the messenger than to take anything beneficial out of what I might be saying. If that is not the case, then I apologize. No, but in light of these issues they seem to be more than willing to throw the forums under the bus to get there. DDI & Gleemax != the forums. One of the reasons that WotC has openly given for the recent issues is the fact that resources were pulled to work on DDI/Gleemax/Magic Online. It seems as though we may actually agree on something. Maybe. I'm not entirely certain as to whether or not you are being sarcastic. ;) [/QUOTE]
