Starting a post with a 4chan meme, this is going to be fun.danpascooch said:1.) Old thread is old, old post is old.

By, as you can see, your very own John. Now as I scan your XBLA profile, which you conveniently put on display for everyone on the Escapist, I can see you happen to enjoy titles like Halo or L4D. This is good and all, but Johny here, thinks that you are so low on the food chain that you can only enjoy " mindless corridor shooting action games that only require you to press the X button over and over".ResiEvalJohn said:Gamers today are just exposed to mindless corridor shooting action games that only require you to press the X button over and over. There's no depth or atmosphere to games like there used to be.
It doesn't need to have your name on it to be directed towards you. When I say that every Asian is a small **** douchbag(which is completely untrue, mind you, but still, an example is needed) you will see a hoard of Asian men trying to defend the size of their manhood, would you blame them? You don't think this is enough of a provocation? It was an attack geared towards a whole group of people, Heresy decide to answer to the provocation. Now I would probably say that John didn't intend to do that, but his following responses weren't that great either.
I just want to mention that Johny boy could have gone in a lot more civilized manner from the get go, he didn't, he got called out. Was Heresy "smug, arrogant, and insulting as you can get"? Probably, but I seem to value truth and sincerity more than false courtesy(in a discussion at least).
In my defense, the thread was on page 1, I rarely check dates. If I knew this was several months old, I probably wouldn't have bothered. Someone probably necroed.danpascooch said:I don't know who you are, but you could probably be contributing valuable opinions to relevant topics rather than scanning four month old arguments between strangers.
So you used the second part of your post to disprove the first part?danpascooch said:Before you try to tell me you're not new based on join date, let me tell you that no matter when you joined, you only have 200 posts worth of experience on these forums, I think it's idiotic to judge opinions based on post count, and I'm not doing this here, my numbered reasons above are why I disagree with your point, I'm only using the post count as a reason to offer you advice above.
Keep in mind that you are defending someone who attacked a whole group of people, this tends to attract more people into the discussion.danpascooch said:Damn, people think ANYTHING will start a flamewar nowadays.....
No, not really. You have so far been polite and kept things in a civilized manner (4chan memes excluded). The difference in opinion seems to stern from the difference of perspective.danpascooch said:Anyway, you probably think I'm a total dick right now, but that's not my intention, I'm just really sick of people telling me off for defending those who are groundlessly attacked, especially when I'm not rude doing it.
Anyway, the thread is old, let it die, if you think we need to continue this discussion further please PM me about it, I would much prefer to let old threads stay dead.
