    A. Set aside your differences, get over the guy's attitude, accept the suggestion, and save the tigers.

    Or

    B. Refuse to support the plan because you don't like what the guy says about the country and all the tigers die.

    Pick. It's not about real life compared to the game, it's about the principle.
    This is a disingenuous comparison. It implies the OP is 100% accurate despite the initial claim being widely exaggerative and unsubstantiated. A better example would be that same foreigner presenting a theory they believe will benefit tigers yet doing so in such a ill perceived matter people are either skeptical or entirely dismissive. You can have the best idea in the world, if you present it poorly, you lose the audience's trust and barring absolute evidence, many will tune you out.

    Once again, if the OP wanted to actually discuss customization in good faith, why not show humility, acknowledge the faulty start and try to sheer the conversation towards it? She didn't. She doubled down repeatedly and blamed everyone else, thus people continued the derailment. Is it just the OP? No. We all have contributed in our own way, but that happened long ago.

    I mean, if going off topic is report worthy. Couldn't we have reported you for derailing your own thread about the proper citation etiquette? That lasted seven pages in a thread supposed about... Eureka, was it?

    Just because you state it doesn't make it true. Some of you here have a habit of making accusations without proof, it really speaks volumes. Furthermore, if your personal vendetta is that strong that you need to look into other topics to avoid talking about the topic then that actually says more about you.
