What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

It is nearly impossible to reply to five or six people arguing with you at once without either over-summarzing everything into walls of texts, or overly-quoting.

Especially on THIS platform, which limits the amount of posts you can make for day.

I'm not saying that everybody who comes here to argue with the consensus has excellent points or argues in good faith. I'm just saying that it's not so much that the forums are better, but that this thread has been quarantined, whether you see that as a good or bad thing.

Then respond to one and stick with that. Multiple people responding will often take a different angle on what they found to be lacking in said posters argument. Just choose one to continue with and stick with it. Address the others later or completely ignore them.

I mean, in that case, you're agreeing with me. Basically, to debate, you're forced to argue with one single person and ignore the rest. Even then, it often devolves into a case of that one person who was chosen to be argued with starting to absorb the arguments of everyone else on their "side", which still leads to the other person having an endless exhaustive parade of arguments to trudge through.

And even then, forums posters tend to get annoyed when two people have a private argument back and forth that ignores the rest of the thread.

I don't see the problem.
