The victimization part probably. Aren't you one of those who cries "you can't even be positive about the game here" while also countering everything with: "you are in the minohritey!" Well guess what: if YOU are in the Mah-Joh-Ra-Tey than YOU are not the "little victim" or whatever you think you are

What are you talking about? I never said people I disagree with are the minority. The complaining here is the majority of posters. I've been pretty consistent with this point of view.

There is also a distinction between a being a majority here on the forums (complaining and complaining sympathizers who swarm the few people enjoying the game) and the general playerbase not part of these forums.

Quite simple. You have made repeated inferences that this has in fact always been the case, that critics present themselves as victims, etc. Yet, if you look back at the history of these forums, you will rather quickly realize it is only fairly recently the proverbial tide began to turn. Some posters do still go out of their way to ridicule those whose opinions do not align with their own, but the number engaging in that behavior does seem to have decreased. This is something you dismiss as well, instead behaving as if there is some completely one-sided attack on people that are enjoying the game, despite the vast majority of people bringing forward criticisms doing so in a thoughtful, constructive, inoffensive, and well-mannered way.

I'm sorry, but this has nothing to do with your attempt to insult me, which is "self-awareness". You can claim I am not aware of the history of these forums outside the times I'm here, which is true. But that has nothing to do with self-awareness. I also disagree that negativity being widespread is only "fairly recent" unless you consider years of this to be "fairly recent." Also...simply LOL at the majority of people being thoughtful and well-mannered in how they interact here. If you are vocal about enjoying this game, the number of people who ridicule and insult has not decreased whatsoever. I'm insulted every day I post here.

Speaking of actual self-awareness, was it not you who just compalined in the positive thread about being insulted, when that's what you do here? Now THAT is a lack of self-awareness.
