Read my first post again, as I commented Malstrom's about how HVS can emerge because of their mastery of the controls, together with other issues in that post.

And I do agree that the tangential issue of customization has been drawn far too long, but exactly why are you telling me to stay on topic of all the people who were conducting a civil discussion? That's where your defensiveness transpires.

Feel free to go back to the OP, comment it and let's talk about that if you feel the thread should focus on some of its aspects.

@Shanobi

I'm not obsessed with the issue :) . I posted an opinion about game design and taking further the customization of game controls - which proved quite unpopular, it seems, after which I simply explained my position to those who answered it.

@bolded

Uhm <_< don't try to claim I'm being defensive about anything just because you're (1 have derailed the thread for quite a few posts and (2 picked a stance that can be obliterated with facts, logic, and reason.

Don't get the superior attitude going please it only causes trouble... and it only creates headaches for you.

I'm only clarifying what is actually under the eyes of anybody who can read this thread. If you think

1) that the thread has been derailed, I several times posted hooks so the the issue could be dropped. After my very first post I'm as culprit of derailing as much as anyone who participated in the discussion that followed - you included. If it's a nuisance for readers of the thread, then the correct attitude should have been something on the lines of "let's move the customization and design issue to a different thread, guys, and let's keep this on this other topic". Telling me that I'm derailing the thread is unjustified, unless it's simply to shut up a specific voice you disagree with. That's my claim for your defensiveness.

2) that my stance can be obliterated with facts, logic and reason... it's something I frankly have yet to see and both sides have been argumenting. But I'm a very reasonable person, and I'm always ready for debate. That said, the actual content of my opinion has little to do with point 1) unless, again, it's just opinions you disagree with, that you think keep the thread offtopic.

And my head is fine, thanks. I'm not playing superior, I'm only asking you to keep the arbitration transparent and free from your personal stance on the subject at hand.
