[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 9006283, member: 5142"] If you wanted to call out condescending posts by people who opined that referees as BadWrongFun, there were far better candidates to choose from in this thread than the one you picked. But because you picked [I]that[/I] post to pick on, you rightly IMHO got warranted pushback. There was nothing condescending about people who prefer to referee in [USER=6925338]@soviet[/USER]'s post, which explicitly said that many people who have counterfactual experiences are referees themselves. This latter point is what the "Mind Blown" GIF is about. [I][B]Nowhere [/B][/I]in his post did he say or imply that referees are bad or unnecessary. [I][B]Nowhere[/B][/I]. Choosing to read that into his post is [B][I]entirely[/I][/B] [B][I]on[/I][/B] [B][I]you[/I][/B]. The author of the post even came out and clarified their intention in the best interest of maintaining good faith, which was notably ignored and treated as if it was both sides were engaging in rhetorical circling. Ummm... no. That's not what transpired. FYI, these first two sentences convey what [USER=6925338]@soviet[/USER] was saying in the post that you marked as being "condescending." Does that you mean that you are being condescending to people who prefer GMs with more restricted authority? I don't think so but your opinion obviously varies about what constitutes as condescension. 🤔 [/QUOTE]
