Game Design Concepts that the Devs and Playerbase has Forgotten

[SwadTheFrog]

I'll give you the same genuine challenge I gave Shurrikhan (who apparently can't back up his words?) - please prove what you just said. Show me where I've used a strawman fallacy. Interesting that you tacitly acknowledged that because of your (false?) impression from other threads, you did put words in my mouth here.

I think something that might help with your perspective on me is my intentions, though. I'm not generally expecting to change people's minds here. I'm pretty confident I know the kind of echo chamber that's been set up and the type of people that push it. I've also seen what happens to people who post positive things meekly. I know the biggest thing that certain kinds of people aren't used to is having someone they're pushing around actually push back, so I do.

And no, a couple of people going into a deluge of negative posts to say a couple positive things is not equivalent to a deluge of people trying to take over and wreck any rare positive thread that dares crop up. Little squeaks in a giant sea of negativity are not equivalent to a chorus invading a positive thread to drown it out. The group that has the immense numerical advantage bears the brunt of responsibility there. If your post is an attempt at being genuine, please, please take some time to learn what the concept of a metaphorical "echo chamber" refers to. Asking for one or two positive threads to stay positive in a sea of dozens of negative threads is "literally" the opposite of an echo chamber.

But I'll leave my challenge to you again - please show me where I have set up a strawman fallacy.

I have no need or desire to go hunting on your post history. Your attitude is very upsetting and dismissive, and it saddens me that a far more friendly and reasonable approach doesn't get you to look at what you're saying and realize that "Hey, maybe the people I disagree with aren't all in a magical echo chamber". Sadly, you clearly just want to stay in your own corner and lash out at any and all ideas or opinons that conflict with yours. I hope you eventuallly grow as a person, but I cannot hold a dialogue with you when you are so adamant about how everyone is wrong.

You said it yourself, you're not here to change minds or have a discussion. You're here to agressively state a point you will not budge on. There's no point in having a conversation with you until that changes.
