No, it's hypocrisy to decry name calling, while calling people names. Nerd for example, or in Sales instance, Drama Queen. But yeah, glaze over that if you like, makes total sense. You're entitled to your opinion about parity, that's not what I was commenting on, which is clearly iterated in my response. |
And here's why this is not hypocricy. There's a difference between name calling and over the top/uncalled for name calling. I was referring to the latter. You can call them unprofessional (that would be name calling), but "mother fuckers"? That's way over the line for not offering better graphics. Had the game been unplaybale and they didn't release a patch for it for weeks, dahuman's comment would make more sense (despite how rude it is to begin with).
Had he respectfully shown his distress over the graphics, Sales' comment would have been out of place and uncalled for. "Mother fuckers" is crossing the line. Again, had Sales called him a "mother fucker" (or anything out of line) and I agreed with/quoted him and complained about him name calling Ubisoft, then I would be a hypocrite.
