Dundradal: dedicated thousands of man hours of your own time for free and then let it by attacked
I agree! An April Fool's update that has absolutely nothing to do with you is obviously attacking your thousands of man hours of work!
You decided to take something that had absolutely nothing to do with you and get offended. Sadly, I don't feel particularly sorry for people who go out of their way to feel offended.
I quite seriously can't comprehend how there is anything in that particular update that you could even presume to be directly attacking you or anything you've done.
Of course, after you decided to get offended, you felt it would be prudent to come and confront someone you don't know about something that has nothing to do with you on a public message board, with an inflammatory subjectline. You then proceeded to be rude to the regular board participants. You called for respect in your initial post and showed absolutely none, yourself. You sir, are a troll, and an ass.
The last one can be done in a civil manner - you are not acting civil. Go away
You're not exactly a shining example of civil behaviour yourself there, pot, so it'd probably be better if you didn't go around calling the kettle black.
maybe LOAF should follow that advice - burning FreeSpace CD's because you blame them for something they didn't cause (but you claim they did) is a little extreme - whether they actually did it or not
No, but burning and otherwise destroying CDs, media and packaging from other 'competition' space-sims makes an entertaining filler article for a Wing Commander themed website. Who the hell is stupid enough to think that destroying a CD is somehow going to get back at a game franchise? There's not a single piece of software that's been destroyed in the name of vaguely entertaining articles and fun that at least one person at the event didn't enjoy playing. I also like how you go and throw in random political comments that have nothing to do with the subject at hand, for some reason.
LOAF needs to justify his accusations logically - not just "oh they used it as reference for their possible product which they cancelled! so it caused the cancellation" -- that's a non sequitur
LOAF doesn't
need to do anything.
Also, you've gone and misstated his previous assertions so that you can point out that they don't logically follow. It's also nice how you've decided to try and continue an argument with a person who isn't even here to debate.
This thread will probably end up getting closed in the near future, but it's mildly entertaining at the moment. However, the next person who decides this situation is somehow comparable to politics is going to get a good solid smack in the head.
