It's not a conclusion based on my own opinions. Once again you blatantly ignore my statement explaining how I came to that conclusion.
So let me get this straight: He made an incorrect claim about one thing involving game balance, so you use that to support an assertion that they know nothing about game balance? they might not know what's right in this case, but that doesn't make it true for all cases they have discussed game balance. The way you said it was as a sweeping generalization applying to them as a person and not to this one instance of argument.
No you don't know what I said, and if that was your point then you would have just said your point instead of wasting time like this. You are changing your argument when I called you on your bullshit. I'm pretty sure you've done this before.
When I miscommunication something, that's not the same thing as my idea being bullshit, that's me representing it poorly. As I begin to see how we misunderstand each other I rephrase my argument to better represent what I'm trying to communicate. The more ways I phrase it the more of it gets represented and eventually you will understand what I mean. Or at least that's the idea. But it looks like you're only here to pick fights.
ALL I USED WAS AN ATTACK OF CHARACTER? DID YOU MISS THE PART WHERE I BACK UP MY ARGUMENT AFTER YOU DISAGREED WITH IT?
No what you said was, 'you know nothing about game balance, go try making a game before you make claims like this.' I'm talking about your initial response to Magewick, not our apparent argument with each other....
Yeah he didn't change his mind when I called him on his bullshit. He got super defensive and relied on insults so I disengaged with him the moment I knew he was just a troll incapable of forming an argument.
You chose to trade a few insults with them before stopping. Also I don't really see mudslinging as being 'incapable of forming an argument' it's more an issue of a person not being mature enough to avoid fighting fire with fire. You kind of did the same thing. That doesn't mean you're incapable of forming an argument, just that you are quick to fight back against a perceived threat.
Last I checked your discussion didn't change his mind, you hit the post limit. As I previously stated, you guys were just jerkin each other off with making long-winded arguments where the content you actually provide is dwarfed by the words you put down on the page.
We stopped when we reached an understanding. Sure if finding common ground and beginning to understand each other is jerking one another off then call me a circlejerker! :) I'd rather understand and be understood than pummel the other side into submission. That's the gladiators form of debate, and is unhelpful to convince others or solve problems.
And I'm glad to see you aren't so high-and-mighty to engage in your own hypocrisy.
Thanks! I try :) It's hard to remain patient when someone repeatedly disregards your points and instead clings desperately to a high horse.
