A letter to Square

Edit: Ah i'm falling into the angry trap!! Must get out.

I had to delete an earlier pre-post twice and just step away from the thread. Since then the hypocrisy has become as tangible as a Morbol's breath attack.

Hopefully, the opinions on the OP have been fully discussed by those interested and the thread can pass on...

You're assuming that people respond impulsively. I see no impulsiveness here, nor "ill mannered debate". It's actually more civil than usual. There are no insults or mudslinging and the personal attacks are milder than the average.

Sorry, it's not information control time yet.

Wanna know what's really detrimental (and frowned upon in any discussion environment)? People that come in improvising themselves self-elected moderators without adding absolutely nothing to the discussion.

So my original opinion means nothing to you. And at no point did I "self-elect" myself as a moderator! I was just making a suggestion A way to make a more civilised debate!

If you can not see the lack of civility in the comments in this thread you are not understanding a lot of the posts!

For example your original post after the video was to say "what a waste of 30 minutes" and then depict everything that was wrong with the video. A civil way to respond would have been to say "I do not agree with that video and here is how I see the current state of the industry."

Maybe I'm wrong. If I am just say "I don't agree" and we can agree to disagree and leave the argument there without any more discussion!

I'm glad i'm not the only one. This is also the reason I don't post that often. No matter what you do you are told "You are wrong get out of here!"

There's a lot I've wanted to say regarding this topic and FFXIII in general, but yeeeeahh.....rather not turn this into a 30page argument over semantics and "opinions" and all the other nonsense a certain someone is spewing.

So ya, you're not the only one lol.

Ì don't agree!

Edit: Ok you changed your post. But ya I'm going to leave it there anyway. Happy fighting folks!

(this is not meant as an insult in anyway, but maybe the reason people seem to get defensive in your conversations is you come out very aggressive in how you post.)

Some people enjoy sugar coating, some people enjoy blunt honesty. I'm a fan of the second option.

I believe there's a difference between aggressiveness and honesty. The first is a deliberate act of aggression towards someone, the second tells things as one sees them without compromising with needless sugar coating. Granted, not everyone can stomach it. But discussion on deep topics does require a nicely solid stomach.

It is the glass half full or empty question.

In your analogy though,

I have a sweet tooth

You're quite right. I've always been a "glass half full" kind of person, which also extend to my appreciation of video games (or any other form of entertainment really), to get back on topic.

If had fun with a game, then it's a positive experience. It may not be perfect or even near to perfect (and I definitely criticize when it's due), but if it provided me with entertainment, I see no reason to condemn it as a blight upon humanity as some do.

I believe due to that I have a lot more fun that many do, mind you

[shane239]

I consider myself a glass half full as well. Unless it is only a quarter full of course! :P

Hey Abriael are there any points that Skye has said that you actually do agree with?

I don't think so. And I don't see why there should be.
