PS3: It Only does Disappointment

Yeah you got me with that last comment. I am obviously not a team player. I know it is probably going to be a tough concept for you to grasp, but I don't follow orders, or take my lead from the crowd. I speak my mind, and I stand up for the truth as I see it. I am not some kind of bit player in your proxy pseudo console war. I am actually a person that speaks his own mind whether it is the popular thing to do or not. The truth is my only agenda.

I would like to compliment you on side stepping my point, and going for a change of subject. I would like to, but I won't. It was painfully transparent, and frankly it was a bit disappointing. Granted you didn't have much of a point to begin with, but to double down on a point that was already discredited. That is just plain sad.

As for the authors article. Your right I do think it was well written. It was a structurally sound work. Overall the narrative was cohesive, logical, factual, thoughtful, and wasn't hyperbolic in its presentation. Not agreeing with the argument he put forth. Doesn't justify dismissing the way he made his case. You need to learn a little bit about respecting other people. Even if you do not respect their point of view. You can attack the argument that he laid out, but that doesn't mean it is right to attack the man.

There was nothing particularly obscene about this article. Had it been any other subject. I am reasonably certain that a lot of people here would have treated him with more respect. It wasn't even as if he were promoting some kind of dark ideology, or adopting a terrifying stance. He said he was going with this brand, and these are his own reasons for doing so. The way some here were acting you would think he was promoting the idea of launching cute little kittens out of a catapult.

There is something to be said for being dispassionate when presenting a argument. The obscenity is in your head. We need to stop feeding into this whole zealot mindset on these forums. There is a actually a difference between light banter, and trying to inflict serious harm. Nobody rushing to his defense isn't a cue to you to give into your baser instincts. Your still accountable for your own behavior. Even if nobody is calling you on it.

He obviously put a lot of time, effort, and careful thought into what he was saying. The least you can do is pay him the respect he deserves for putting himself out there. Like I said you don't have to agree with the argument he made, but you should practice a little courtesy when considering or debating the points he made. Do you like to be treated like you were a joke. I think you probably wouldn't care for it. So why treat someone else like that.

If nobody else has the decency to defend the man. I sure as well will. I don't like bullies, and I sure as hell don't like lynch mobs.
