The intended discussion happened, because some people were willing to look past the strawmen. People who perceived your thread as flamebait weren't wrong, because if I were to write a troll thread, that would be the one way to go about it: Generalize an entire fanbase to the most outrageous statements. I mean, "company X is the only one to innovate, ever", even if you combine the worst people of all fanbases on this website, you won't get to ten who push such a line. Your OP gives me the right to mock you. I am not the only one who did it either. |
Frankly, I'm more concerned about the opinions of those who did participate than those who take potshots from the sidelines. The fact you resorted first to public mockery tells me pretty much everything I need to know about the value of your input.
I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
