No, you weren't.
If you actually were you wouldn't have posted a response, let alone one with that much to say.
...
I love when people use the word fair without understanding what fairness actually entails, including people being able to freely respond to things they disagree with on whatever basis, as well as presenting proof through explanation, example and evidence of why someone's opinion is wrong.
Fair, is not whining or acting the victim when you can't handle opposition to your opinions.
Since we at least switched topics, I might as well bite to your bait, though there isn't that much to say as, ironically, I agree with a lot of what you mentioned (after disregarding the fact that you directed it at me, and instead taking it as a generalist statement).
I posted that response because he was factually incorrect (as per what's shown in the game) but most importantly because he resorted to straight up insults. I'm only human, felt the itch to answer. Note that despite that, I didn't insult him back directly though.
As for the other generalist claims I actually agree with you
completely on everything, and stand by what I said. I disagree with it being directed at what I posted though. In specific:
I'm not sure what you meant by acting the victim there, to be honest, because I dislike that a lot too. What I did was acknowledge the low level postings of snarky and passive-aggressive comments and memes. It's their right to do whatever they want, and I never went "waaah", but I acknowledged them in passing through a generalist statement and mentioned how instead of simply letting go, they instead posted those things that add nothing to any conversation and do nothing other than create animosity.
As for not handling opposition to my opinions - I disagree with Rehwyn and Skylaroo in what was discussed here at this time, for example, but they illustrated their points well and I can see where they're coming from (even if I ultimately disagree) - I respect that. But look at most of the others who took an antagonistic stance to my posts and observe how they behaved very differently. I didn't bother to reply to most of those - and wish they'd have done the same if what I was saying was simply a conversation that they were unwilling to engage in.
I think what I said was fair because I drew parallels, gave examples and sustained what I said through things mentioned in the game, and from there made a justifiable extrapolation. Seems fair. It's still a subjective opinion that anyone can disagree with though, and that's fine.
Now, I hope that you don't think that anyone defending themselves of such claims is just someone who's "just whining". Cause by your own logic, if you do think that, then it'd be
fair to say that you would be the one who can't handle opposing opinions.
I'm sure that's not the case though.
