[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9764216, member: 6790260"] All I can say, then, is that it is self-evident that (a) this is a practice, and (b) this practice is fairly widespread, even if it is not universal. Further, I think it's blatant rhetorical trickery to insert things like the concept of a "crisis" or "gaming is facing a problem" or the like. That's 100% your invention and has nothing, whatsoever, to do with anything I've said, nor what [USER=42582]@pemerton[/USER] has said. I won't discuss along those parameters, because they're patently ridiculous. Railroading happens. It is a widespread practice. One does not need to look hard to find evidence thereof. [I]On this very forum[/I] we have had multiple threads, and railroading has absolutely had its diehard defenders. Some even balking at the very notion that the term should be allowed to be a negative, and should instead be reclaimed as an entirely neutral word. If that is not enough evidence for you, nothing ever will be. [/QUOTE]
