I was responding to an OP. Therefore, you started it. Chaos theorem, dependent on initial starting conditions. Maybe if you didn't come off as such an elitist, and I as such a dick, we might not be here screaming abuse at each other. I disliked your attitude, I responded in kind to my dislike. You disliked my disliking, and so you responded with dislike. I then proceeded to respond with dislike of your dislike, thereby inciting you to reply with dislike of my dislike, before I stated more dislike built upon my original dislike of your dislike of my way of playing. All in all, I think we dislike each other. You need to earn my respect with your OP, before I give you any shred of mine. You wrote the OP: it is YOUR job and YOURS ALONE to ensure that nothing you say comes off badly, and where it does you should cover for it in post in a manner which amicably solves the problem between the two, despite the other person insulting you. Backwards-rationality doesn't work in a forum scenario, as it doesn't work in real life. First impressions matter, therefore the quality and general non-inciting-to-rage-ery of the OP should be taken into consideration. From this analysis, I can glean that you wrote an OP in a manner which sounded unbelievably elitist and whiny to the opposite side, and as such I replied in a manner contrary to elitism: elitism is undermined by being talked down upon, not the other way around. An elitist will laugh in the face of anyone who goes "Well, I think this and that", therefore I opened with something guaranteed to get the attention of an elitist (aside from the obvious calling you an elitist fucktard). I might have been a bit of a dick to you in my first post, but at least I didn't right the elitist OP. If you weren't an elitist, you'd have tried to backup your posts by saying that you thought the other ways of playing were equally viable, although you disagree with them on a moral basis (which is what you do, there is no objectivity here at all). Instead, you act even more elitist by talking down to me as though I am a child and unworthy of your mighty presence. You asked for a proper analysis, I've given you my analysis. Now give me yours from a relatively unbiased and much more unelitist standpoint. EDIT: I forgot to mentioned, I actually agreed with a lot of the OP. I did not agree with your manner of approaching the subject in a way which is generally and DELIBERATELY downtalking to the opposing side, to discourage them. This isn't allowed in a real debate, it shouldn't be stood for on a forum debate.
