Exactly. Your interpretation was so far from the truth it wasn't even funny. Everyone who agrees with you just doesn't get it. The only person who does get it is the OP; but rather than accept that the OP found no offense, and took no offense, you and the other people in this thread won't drop it and see the error in your interpretation. You spend post after post trying to derail this thread into a flame war, rather than respect this thread for what it is. Read the OP's responses to me, read my responses to the OP, and you would not find any ill will or bad intentions anywhere! I just don't get why you guys are pursuing something when the OP clearly is on a different page. There's no reason for it other than to argue for the sake of arguing, which is ironic for people who respect the thread so much.
Me and the OP know exactly what I'm talking about. We have had this discussion before. I know what he was trying to get across in his post, and he knows what I was trying to get across in mine. None of you *do* know, because you weren't apart of the conversation. Do you see me arguing and exchanging flames with the OP? No! We're having a good ole discussion. He understood.
If you want to know what I meant I'll explain it, but I dont think itll do any good because people on the forums are naturally contentious and thrive off of creating flame wars. I should have ignored the first one, cuz obvious troll was obvious. But since you seem to be reasonable, ill explain it to you. At least your willing to believe you misread something.
I wanted to congratulate him on his experience, because its a rare experience to have. The rest of my post was reminding him that not everyone shares that experience, so they are not necessarily missing out on anything by PLing. On the contrary, sometimes they avoid a lot of pain and frustration. His post *was* a subtle argument against PLing, encouraging ppl to not PL. I picked up on that. That is why I proceeded with the rest, instead of just ending it at congratulating him for his experience. I reminded him that even if you PL, you can still share similarly wonderful experiences. All in all the exchange between him and I was a discussion about PLing. In no way did I invalidate his experience, say he did not have fun, claim my experience was better, or any of that. I dont see how people got all of that from my post.
Again, Zaaku understood it, and hopefully now you do too so this silly attacking can stop.
