I expect this out of gaming journalism.

I do not so much expect it from a man who's been the premier cinema critic in this country for like three decades

A man who doesn't like videogames. It's difficult to talk about something that you don't like, I guess people is really overacting this a lot, I've seen 4 different editorials from gaming sites about this, and they tried really hard to look intelectual and serious........ but then I remember that some days ago they're sparking flamw warz over the Internetz so that actaully took some of the credits from those articles.

So... it is okay because it is difficult? I don't like rap. I don't have much to say about the topic. If someone asked me, even if someone pressed me for my opinion all I could say is I don't like it. I suppose I could even say why I don't like it or say I don't understand how it is concidered music (this part is not true, I get the musical qualities and talents in the genre.)

But now let's say I am famous and everone reads my comments about rap. Fans of the genre want their voices heard as well. They want me and others to know that rappers are musicians.

Some of them make personal attacks at me. That is inexcusable.

I attack back and call the whole lot of them ignorant and stupid... but it is okay because I couldn't tell you the number one rap single this year?
