WOTC ad - insulting to gamers?

[The Persian]

Just answer the question in order for you to defend your point that the advertisement was offensive.


WHAT WAS OFFENSIVE ABOUT IT?

Quit hiding, come on out here, and tell us why it hurt your feelings.

Don't have to, and by and large that's not the facet of this issue i'm focusing on.

You missed my point, i don't want everyone to agree that it's offensive, i want everyone to at least accept another person can dislike it and not be "thin skinned"

I can conceed that point.

IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHY YOU FOUND IT OFFENSIVE!!!

How many times do we have to explain it to you? It's not the fact that you found it offensive that is getting you so much crap, it's your avoiding why it was offensive to you.

If you're going to complain that you are offended by something and someone asks you why, you should be able to at least give a rational explanation. By not doing so, you look like someone very thin skinned and are offended "just because."

Be offended all you want, but don't go shouting it in public and not expect to have to defend your position.

Wow, Persian. You joined up yesterday and you've already made so many new friends. Good job.

Thanks man!

Right, because a momentary slip in grammar defines one's intelligence.

No, calling someone "boy" does.

So i guess to you, an opinion is something to be labeled in truths and falsehoods. False. False. False. I rest my case.

I was joking when I mentioned the glue earlier. But perhaps I was nearer the mark than I imagined. Or perhaps it's copier toner. Hmmm....

Anyway, I think this post shows a pretty clear transition in the thread from you babbling incoherent garbage at us to sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling "na na na na na can't hear you!"

Probably a good time to put you on my ignore list.

Thanks man!

It wasn't a compliment.

Oh yes, the ultimate arguement of world class debaters. Often heard during heated debates engaged in important issue confrontation.

"I don't have to. NYAH!"

Yes, it is important.

How can we understand why it may be insulting if you won't say why it was insulting?

Like I posted above, this reminds me of all the crying about the Jason VS Olympic Runner advertisement that people snivelled about.

Why? Just so it can get ripped apart? My view on why I don't like is not the standards by which other gamers wouldn't like this, and other advertisements as well. I'm not going to falsely depicit that so you can have a good laugh over *it*. I started out fairly mellow, you ramped up the tension in this discussion and i've responded to in kind.

It sure was from my point of view.
