[QUOTE="Nichwee, post: 5381298, member: 84242"] Fair point - feel free to reread my comments as "ranting at, and about, a company not present on that board". And as I said I do not condone, or comdemn, his behaviour, or those of anyone on this board as that is not my place - I just pointed out that he showed no case of hypocrisy. He merely said, in paraphrase, "If people can post rants, I can post mockery". This is not hypocrisy. It is not polite either, but you accused him of hypocrisy. I agree with him that a lot of needless hyperbole is being thrown around (his posts included) but hyperbole is something almost everyone on this board is guilty of at some point, so I don't expect any amount of ranting or mockery to stop it. People tend to 'overstate' on boards, I assume to compensate for the lack of the emotive expression one has available in speech but not text. Personally I am rather ambivalent about the new CB (it does the job ok, but definately needs work), non-plussed about the VT (I play with friends in person) and enjoy the hobby itself. As long as the last remains the case I have no mayor complaints tbh. Worse case I end my DDI sub. [/QUOTE]
