[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 7560982, member: 5142"] Here is the way I see it: You are missing the point. In fact, you are even doubling-down here on the objectionable problem in your "clarification" here. I did not construe it as an attack on a poster's character nor did I think that you were saying that players are youngsters. The problem is your crass characterization of an entire generation of people. Let me spell this out for you then so you will not repeat this mistake. In your clarification above you seem to be under the false impression that my main issue with your statement quoted here is that element [1] gets compared to the decidedly negative element [2]; however, I don't even care about [1]. My problem is that element [2] alone is utter unsubstantiated crap that needs to be removed from not only the discussion but also from the thinking of your hopefully moral person. Trying to mischaracterize these "youngsters" as overly sensitive and?or holding a belief "where everybody is special, talent..." is discriminatory, fallacious garbage meant to malign an entire generation. And it is to this garbage perspective that I responded earlier (and now reiterate with greater confidence): If Pemerton bestowing XP to this other person really perturbs you that much then this forum graciously affords you the liberty to ask him about it yourself like a functioning adult would without dragging others into it.
