That's a pretty myopic way of looking at it (he agrees with me, QED his post can't
possibly be rude) when his post is
by his own definition rude.
A. He finds the repetition of the phrase** irritating.
B. He decides to make a post deliberately repeating the same phrase
C. His post is intentionally rude.
If A and B, then C. Basic logic.
His choice was to intentionally be irritating in his post (by his own definition of what is irritating). What else would any rational person call that but "rude"??
And why would anyone be surprised to get irritated replies?? Smells more like a troll job than legitimate feedback anyway, since the **phrase wasn't dialogue or text as part of the story but simply a visual marker to differentiate between real dialogue and in-game DND character lines spoke by the MD characters. Maybe a graphic (icon) in the text box would have been "better"
BUT (a) that would have been more technically tedious to set up, and (b) some clown would have bitched about that too, so why bother?
And who freaking cares anyway? The DND scene is over, so complaining about it when it has no bearing on anything to come in future updates is a waste of everybody's time, no?
One last question: since you defend an intentionally annoying post, where do you draw the line? Would it be OK to complain that someone spit on you by spitting on other people to demonstrate that spitting is not nice?
