You are willfully ignorant with your attack. Nothing wrong with sundin13's post and he isn't saying what you infered. |
I don't see how you can literally end your comment with "and he isn't saying what you inferred" yet you start the comment with saying I'm willfully being ignorant to his intent? How can I be "willfully ignorant" to something if I genuinely inferred it wrongly? Even with harsh wording nothing in that reply is "willfully ignorant" or an "attack", so those are both mischaracterizations. What I said counts for any time these kind of defenses are brought up, not one user in particular, so the harsher wording was meant to critique the defense and not the defender.
I'll admit that after re-reading it I might have inferred wrong, but to infer something is "to deduce or conclude (information) and reasoning rather than from explicit statements", as you know. So to infer something always leaves you with the chance of being wrong in your conclusion. If I was, I apologize, although I really do not think the comment was as nasty as you're making it out to be.
To be fair, it's not exactly hard to see how I could infer his comment that way. In fact, one more sentence and he would literally be confirming what I'm saying. I mean read it again "If you don't like a blade, just don't use them... Theres plenty of highly varied designs so I find it hard to take the criticism that some of the blades aren't appealing to some people as anything more than a minor nitpick." That's literally one sentence off from being the generic, badly thought out kind of defense you see for any game with scrutinized side content. Even the attitude is the same, "If you don't like the content just don't engage in it" ... well the content is there so it should be scrutinized and in the case of blades, each blade is more or less useful than another so it could be a super effective blade that is important even if you don't like it. He even kind of just shrugs off the criticism which is exactly the kind of attitude someone would have when making such an argument.
So again, maybe what I inferred was wrong, but it's easy to see how I came to that conclusion. Also, what you inferred could very well be wrong. In fact, he just replied to me and hasn't made any point to contradict what I've inferred.
