Did you read what you wrote at all?

"The only way to be a successful game critic is to be as neutral as you can, and don't you dare give it anything more than an 8 or less than a 7, or fear the wrath of the internet!"

just because I made a vague and inconsequential reference to number grading doesn't mean it was in any way important to my point.  The 70-89 range is about average for major releases.  That's the extent of that point.  Talk about extrapolating.  This almost qualifies as a strawman fallacy on your part. 

And that's my point, why the fuck would you say 70-89 is mediocre when 40-69 exists?

ALso not to mention you then start talking about how you grade like old school (which is a damn lie otherwise there wouldn't be as big a skew) reviewers.
