[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7769264, member: 85555"] Isn't this post itself also dismissive? Obviously this isn't what I meant by quality. What I meant was I got a real person's opinion in the article, rather than something that was written to please everyone. I don't have to agree with everything in an article, or feel everything in it is correct, to enjoy it. It had a strong point of view and that point of view started a conversation. If it was insincere, and done just to provoke, I would have been less interested. I didn't get the impression it was written that way though. Just seemed like his honest take. If you want to correct something in the article, I think that would be a great contribution. More information is always good. But again, a lot of it is opinion and perception. I get people reacting strongly. On the other hand, people say negative things about old school play all the time. Personally, I don't think there needs to be a big divide between more new school and old school approaches, I don't see them as mutually exclusive. But I can understand how online conflict around play styles leads to dismissive tones now and then. And if that is how someone honestly feels, I'd rather they say it, than not (so I at least know where they are really coming from). [/QUOTE]
