They are not? to you and everyone else here that criticises Maelstrom it is.

 

I'll take your words.

"Most of us find it grating; arrogance is difficult to stomach when it comes from a person who you don't need to listen to (and even when you do have to listen to the person). Additionally, calling your readers "idiots," "fools," etc. is not a wise way to get people to listen to you. There's more, but to summarize: people often have better things to do than listen to someone insult them or pleasure himself to his own written words."

 

1.You choose to criticise Maelstrom

2.You attack his manner

This is exactly what Maelstrom is doing, is not Maelstrom saying the reviewer is essentially 'whining to downplay an issue'?

You call Maelstrom's actions arrogant, Maelstrom calls a reviewers actions 'phony and whiny'.

No difference.

Just because Maelstrom elaborates on it more then you doesn't change this fact.

 

Review this thread. Point out where I disagreed with Malstrom's conclusion regarding this article. Then get back to me.

As a second assignment, tell me whether you think that I would consider Malstrom's article an insult to the readership.

Review my post, did i state you disagreed with Maelstroms conclusion?

The point is, you call Maelstrom arrogant, Maelstrom calls the reviewers 'whining to downplay an issue'.

I see no difference, and there is no difference.

You can extend everything further, Maelstrom criticises (anyone, this includes what you consider 'readership') and calls them (anything).

Its what your doing to Maelstrom.

Of course you've yet to really understand that Maelstrom's blog post, has no loyalty to any 'readership' he gets no funding from a particular segment of readers or anything like that.

Why Maelstrom should not criticize a segment of gamers, is beyond me.

 

Nor have you given me any links yet to this perceived 'calling his readers idiots'.

Go and give me a link then you can talk.
