Many people are guilty of this, but I believe you are certainly one of the most guilty. You redirect criticism and sit on your high horse rather than self-reflecting. Sometimes I agree with your actual arguments about the nature of Garlemald, sometimes I do not, but your manner of delivering them can often be passive-combative and far more likely to provoke annoyance than reasonable discussion. In threads only tangentially related to Garlean issues and morality you bring up this topic again, and then go out of your way to lambast "some people" for holding different viewpoints, and for using arguing techniques which you yourself use. It's hypocritical.
The fact that you (because more often than not you are the instigator of the discussion) repeatedly do this is one of the things which has really soured my enjoyment of reading this subforum, which I used to count as the best community discussion board for this game, official or otherwise. Now I don't want to just target and abuse you, because there are others who also contribute to the unpleasantness, but as you catalyse so much, I beg you to self-reflect a little on the way you approach this.

I do not bear you any personal ill-will, and I hope you don't bear me any, but these feelings have stirred in me for awhile as I've browsed these Lore forums.

- How the Garlean Empire is never as bad as they seem.
- How the Ascians are not as bad as they seem.
- How our protagonists are even worse than the previous two.
And this are the reasons why I don't even read when i see a post reply with his name on it...
