Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crazy Jerome" data-source="post: 6113202" data-attributes="member: 54877">There is a line of thinking, apparently taught heavily in Universities these days in place of logic, that goes:  That if enough people A assert often enough that other people B aren't doing what they think they are doing.  Even when people B have been doing it for years and can talk about it amongst themselves, while A can't seem to even talk rationally about the concepts. And people A are self-confessed ignorant of the basic principles involved, lacking in any meaningful experience, and unwilling to change this.  Yet, somehow A's opinions on the subject are worth listening to. A's only useful function in such a subject--outside this strange, irrational but learned behavior--is to either make a real effort to engage the discussion on its own terms, shut up, or (ideally) go get enough experience to participate in the discussion.  But the history of internet forums shows that if A talks enough, they can eventually achieve their purpose of drowning out all discussion of the subject--which in my more cynical moments I attribute as their aim.  Someone asked me not long ago where I had been.  The answer is away from this insanity.  If you guys ever find a place where the mods don't tolerate such nonsense to talk about gaming, then I'd like to converse with you there.  Congratulations As.  You turned the place into enough of a garbage pit that I'll leave you alone now.  You win.  Have fun in your echo chamber.When you are up against the hard fact that a mod belongs on your ignore list but can't go there, it's time to leave.  Sorry pemerton, Balesir, Abdul, Nemesis and the rest of those who know who you are.  I can't stand it any more.</blockquote>
