Even after it was pointed out to you. And while people supporting the strike at least have a "it's a bigger thread than most others", you have nothing at all that ties numbers of forum posts to numbers of FF players.

I would have accepted either "I don't think you can extrapolate what goes on in the forum to the wider playerbase" or "I think you can make assumptions about the wider playerbase based on what goes on in the forums". There are things to be said for both, that is why I never got into arguments about the forums being representative or not before. But attacking the strike over it, and then doing the same thing in the same post, is just silly. And doubling down on it, after it was pointed out, is worse.

And again, you're not listening, And then you double down because instead of trying to listen to what I'm actually trying to say, you like others attempt to twist the narrative because my viewpoint contradicts your own. I have already addressed this.

Ah, there must be a misunderstanding. I'm not assuming that the only people who share these viewpoints are those that appear in this forum. That would be mathematically impossible. I'm saying that the threads seen here can't be used as a representative to indicate the audience as a whole, because they represent too small of a numerical value to reflect the majority of the audience. Hence, the topics seen here express a very small minority of the gaming audience as a whole. AKA, there is nowhere near enough traffic in this thread to state the feelings expressed here represent how the majority feel within the gaming bloc.
The point being, the traffic used here represents too miniscule a number to be a determining factor in how the gaming bloc feels. The 0.001% statement was to represent a closer correlation than page traffic but neither ratio is accurate in determining how the gaming bloc feels. Just like how it's not accurate to state your ratio was correct seeing as this thread would largely be viewed by those that contradict my opinion and support the Ops opinion.
