The bitter cynicism isn't productive by any means, regardless of what one's views are.

It is in the hope of finding progress and compromise that some participate in these conversations. And many people, on both sides of the argument, have been able to maintain an air of civility here.

Attempting to be short and witty does not adequately get one's 'point' across, nor does it speak well of the community to refer to its people as a generalist, crass insult.

I'll reiterate that the general agreement here is we would like to see the game improve. The only differences is how we would like to see that come about.
