[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9083522, member: 7023840"] I think that's the exact reason for the EnWorld maxim, "I double-dog dare you to describe how totally awesome your favorite (game/playstyle) is, WITHOUT comparing it to any others." I know that it seems en vogue in current society to just trash things, but there's a reason that people have always said that you get more flies with honey than vinegar. I know that you are not alone with your negative feelings about certain things due to the way some people feel it is necessary to constantly trash the things you like. I am not entirely certain where the idea that "If you tell someone that the things that they like suck, often and repeatedly, they will bow before your wisdom and repetition" came from. But from my perspective, that idea does not seem to be effective. Or, as Mama Snarf used to tell me, "Snarf, life is tough alright, but it's a whole lot tougher if you are stupid. Now shut yer piehole and get yer Mama some laudanum and a few bottles of Night Train at the packie." [/QUOTE]
