[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6240194, member: 59082"] I guess I should have realized that some would misunderstand what I was saying. The only thing I'm surprised about is that you continue to misunderstand what I am saying, even after I've clarified it a couple times. Again, I think you misunderstood, and somehow still misunderstand, what I mean by "failure of 4E." You refuse my definition of failure--as if there's one proper usage of the word, rather than contextually shifting meanings. Wow, this is just flat-out misleading. My original response to you was mainly in reference to your statement that "Any other talk is nothing more than opinions on whether the person [I]liked[/I] the game or not." This was seemingly in reference to my OP. I was pointing out that you were mistaken, that what I was saying was not, in fact, based upon whether I liked 4E or not, that my usage of "failure" was not about liking or disliking 4E, but what I perceive to be a failure to thrive and be sustainable. The bottom line, Defcon, is that I hear you being defensive about 4E and all of this hullabaloo is seemingly because you feel slighted about what I said, which is based upon a misunderstanding of what I said. Until you are willing to relate to what I [I]actually [/I]said and meant, you're going to continue having this beef - because you think I'm slighting 4E. So if you are content with being outraged based upon your lack of comprehension, that's your right. But that leaves us at an impasse, so maybe its time to move along. [/QUOTE]
