| Seece said: blah blah blah blah I don't care. You think highly of yourself, we get it. I wasn't commenting on your content, just the fact it's there and not the original source. And you're absoloutely right, not everyone thinks highly of my opinion, that's why I don't make it my OP. So people can skip it. Take a look up though, I don't see much support |
lol I don't think highly of myself I just have some self respect and defend my actions. I do pride myself on journalistic integrity but really its not that I think highly of myself at all. I just don't think to highly of some other people like Pachter and in some cases other individuals. The fact that I disagree doesn't make me high and mighty or full of myself. Plus it was you who suggested that you could get me banned at any time because you were staff. That sounds a lot more high and mighty than anything I have said or done, look I can have a different opinion then you, I can write different then you. Doesn't make me any worse then you or really you any worse then me.
I look up and I only see a couple posts supporting your view. I also don't have that much traditional support on the Sony board so I really am not shocked.
P.S since you are classified as a writer I just assumed you were a writer. Reporting the news is something writers do on news based websites like VGChartz. I actually haven't read what you write I just assumed you actually did report news, if you don't what purpose do you actually have at VGChartz? Not trying to insult you but I am confused how someone can be called a writer and not post news or include personal speculation or opinion in articles?
Looking at some of your other threads it is sorta weird that you don't actually have a writing style. As I said people don't read threads on VGChartz to hear the news from Eurogamer. They read it to get the opinions of the community to get the perspective of VGChartz. If everyone here just posted a link to the source or plagiarized the source material why bother coming to VGChartz at all?

Yah I see your point. However your point sort of contradicts what Seece said. Seece said not to write an OP at all just give the direct source material. Fact is people aren't reading Seece's threads or material because it is Seece, they really don't give a crap about what Seece is saying.
My threads people do still read them. Yes they say "Damn its from JoelCool, I'm skipping most of this one" They skim they go to see what others are saying and comment. That really is no different then what Seece does, people see the topic they discuss the topic. Only thing is with my threads their is more for users to see and read.
I really don't mind many saying "Oh no wall of words" because they still get something out of the thread. They contribute to the discussion and make the thread successful. But the few or growing number of users who actually do read the threads get more out of them then say a direct qoute.
I may be working hard, mainly because I hate not reporting. I see the need to report and I write as if they are reporting articles in say the news paper I wrote for. That might be a turn off to some but some like it, either way its not like people actually skip the topics altogether because I post them. My topics all get the views that any other topic would get they get the responses that any other users topic would get. So I don't see it as an issue, just that I have some users who like what I report but don't want to read my wall of words and others that like what I report and do want to read my wall of words.
