[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6302184, member: 177"] [color=darkorange][B]howandwhy99[/B], you seem to miss the point. There are people in the world with real problems. Things, in fact, that we have board rules against talking about, because they are so important to real life that we become too impassioned about them to hold civil conversations. We are talking about pretending to be elves. If you insinuate that how you felt because some game company and some fans dealt with your niche leisure hobby game is somehow comparable to those real problems, you're engaging in at least a hefty dose of hyperbole, if not an outright major failure of perspective. I see this, a lot of getting personal, and several bits of what look like pretty solid sophistry going on in this thread. It looks very much like folks are engaged in trying to win, or push personal agendas, rather than in exchanging ideas. If this thread continues to provide a ground for entrenchment, and produces more headaches than it does food for thought, we will simply close it down.[/color] [/QUOTE]
