Listen in? Who said I listen in? People, colleagues, friends, they all complain to me about things that have peeved them off. You also have a choice in that you don't read their posts or just put them on your ignore list.

is that why you whinge here then? so tired of other peoples complaints so you just want to offload onto us here?

you could just as easily choose not to read my posts, or put me on ignore......why is it people full of such good advice never take it?

I am not whinging as you put it, I am just saying that people who bought the game and are unhappy with it have a right to complain if it is not working for them.

Why should I put you on ignore just because you disagree with me, it's not like I am bothered that you disagree with me. I suggested it to you because you sound fed up of people complaining.

I have exactly the same view on the ignore list thing as you, maybe you're not the classic example of the whiner I describe so I appologize for having said that, yes I am fed up of the whinier side of the complaining.

But......complaining becomes whining very quickly when it's just a repetition, I ask....if you said it once to 'everyone' does it need to be repeated?, why are complainers under the impression that complaining on this forum is going to rewrite history and make all things well again? so far the whining has achieved nothing but irritation to forum users.....this is the real point here, when you complain here it's not directed where it really needs to go (the devs) it's just forum bloating crap.

Nett effect of all this is just damaging to the game (I believe it's the intention) this couldn't have been illustrated more clearly by the recent moronic and fake 'Black Six' post, there is no denying there are people out there hell bent on causing damage to this game and that is what I want to counter.

I wouldn`t call it intentional. IMO it`s more of the plain too much time - moronism mix.

Yes, of course, but why conflate that with genuine critcism? Because it's easy and fun? Because you can grandstand and do the sword-of-righteousness routine? Because you can just lump everyone in together and make out it's all rubbish?

Well, yes, you can. But one runs the risk of looking like an idiot in the process.

As intentionally for damaging the game...well, there are many replies to this, but we'll forgo the easy pot-shots such as the devs got there first etc...

If you are intent on having the last word, it helps to have a first word i.e. something to say...not just countering every time for it's own sake. Your posts, and those of Carguy, Aces, Hayward et al... need substance, not just complaining-about-the-complaining. It doesn;' go anwywhere because it can't go anywhere - especially when the underlying causes for complaint remain valid.

Just sayin'

That just about sums up all your contributions

Well cooked...fries with that?

So youre saying my goose is cooked?.....as to suggest my time has run out and great peril is about to befall me, by your hand?

Yes, of course, but why conflate that with genuine critcism?

Doesn't happen

Because you can grandstand and do the sword-of-righteousness routine? Because you can just lump everyone in together and make out it's all rubbish?

Wow and you really can't see the hypocrisy in that statement?
You really can't quite believe that some people are genuinely annoyed by the constant 'entitlement junkie' culture breeding here, and are automatically categorised as 'fanboi trolls' should they let it be known.

Well, yes, you can. But one runs the risk of looking like an idiot in the process.

You illustrate this fact very well

If you are going to ahve the last word, it helps to have a first word i.e. something to say...not just countering every time for it's own sake. Just sayin'

I remember your first words on this forum well, it started with hypocrisy and has continued since.

I agree with this. I also believe you are absolutely the person to do it.

I know it may sound a bit over-cooked but if there's one post that encapsulates a sense of decorum and civility, this is surely it. I would go one step further, if I may be allowed, and say that it is posts like this that allow me to sleep in my 'virtual bed' (metaphorically speaking) at night, knowing that the forum is being monitored and patrolled effectively, by those with the best interests of the game at heart.

This is to be applauded by both devs and forum members alike.
