That it is rediculous to do so. I do because I feel I want to, you don't b/c you feel you don't. I find nothing wrong with either action.
No.. you're correct... If you want to thank them... then thank them
I am the person who started the "2.0 excitement" thread that Yoshi personally posted in...
I definitely try to be positive, and I'm excited about this game... I'm no complainer (most of the time)

But this comes to mind
I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
And its true.. People have a right to complain... Complaints and bad reviews are what got Yoshi this gig in the first place
It wasn't numbers... The game did over half a mill at launch...

I think some people compare us to other cultures... And say we are selfish complainers.. but free speech is ingrained into who we are...
we don't stifle opinions... even opposing ones
In fact... wanting to block/censor posts that don't agree with your position is contrary to our entire way of life in North America (Except for maybe Fox News)

If people want to vent and complain... let them... Yoshi is a grown man... I am sure he can handle it...
