| Moneybags said: Serious question for Starcraft: As an up and coming, intelligent young man put on this world to flourish and enjoy all the pleasures of life while being created equal to all his fellow man why on Earth are your facts and logic constanly refuted by others? Why are you always in constant stuggle; battling up and down across these sacred boards of vgchartz? Why do your words of wisdom fall on deaf ears then turn to flames? It would seem that mere disscussion is what these men seek but when from your lips you speak they are driven to more than a simple critique. Answer these wisely my friend for the true heart of a man can be found among his words. Words of self righteousness, scorn and mockery lead to that of a fool's while futher questions, silent retreat and hiding to a coward's; ahhh, but the words of sincerity, humility,simplicity and honesty will reveal, as through the clearest of windows, a noble man, wise and of good stature. Fully deserving respect and the listening ears of others. You must ponder these things awhile first, Craft. The answers may not be as easy as you may think... |
I suspect that my logic is regularly refuted by others because discussion involves mutual communication. It is my recognition of this that prevents me from lashing out at those who simply disagree with my opinions. It is regrettable that a few members of these boards, fortunately a minority, do not extend to me, or others, the same courtesy.
Early on in VGChartz life there was a small contingent of hardcore supporters representing one of the gaming industry's consoles (I leave it to you to speculate on which console I refer too) who vigorously, and unfortunately viciously defended that console's interests with little rationality. Fortunately they quickly settled down to become well-meaning and pleasant additions to VGC's "sacred boards."
As time wore on however, the console in question started to make something of a modest comeback. Fortunately, the console's original supporters maintained their composure (for the most part) however VGC was suddenly inundated with a small, yet apparantly unstable group of fanatics, who seem to have smelled the blood of victory on behalf of their console.
What motivates their viciousness and instability remains unclear, but they do not maintain that admirable composure that their more seasoned counterparts are capable of. Regretably, they regularly take to personal, cruel and unfounded attacks to try and demonise those that see the realities of the console war more clearly than they do.
There is always room for discussion and opinion on VGC, but one can only hope these recent additions to our prestigious boards can quickly find the composure that most of their fellow console supporters are capable of. Apparantly more than their VGC memberships are at stake, as one member of this vicious contingent recently resorted to asking God for my removal, so that his opinions may stand unchallenged. I have come to fear not only for these young men's console, but their very mental wellbeing.
starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS
