I think it *is* valuable to point out that this forum is about as extreme of a vocal minority that it's possible to be, and that based on my experience in the official discord server, the subreddit, and in the smaller communities and online league discussions I am a part of, the response is about as far removed from this forum as it's possible to be. You can think that "my discourse world" (whatever the heck that even means) is different if you want, but the reality is that this forum is by far the exception to things when it comes to OOTP, not the norm.

If your impression of me is that I always blindly defend the game no matter what and never have a bad word to say then I guess you don't have a particularly good impression of me. I have plenty of criticism for the game and ways it can/should be improved, and I post about them when suitable and when they come up.

Oh, okay, disregard. You just have a personal issue with me.
Oh no. Not letting you away with that BS.
And you DO know what I mean.
You have offered plenty of good insight/opinions/direction on multiple threads and much of it has been appreciated by the vast majority of forum participants, I'm sure. Myself included.
But anytime it comes to criticism of the game, I can clearly predict in advance where you will stand. And the deeper the debate goes, the more you dig in your heels......
....to the point where, IMHO, all objectivity disappears and, in the two most recent posts I quoted, there is absolutely no value. The posts are actually beneath you. There is no substance. They are just irrelevant responses to those who view things differently because you feel need to retort....or something. I guess.
They have no calories. They carry no weight. In fact, the second one is entirely factually incorrect. It has everything to do with Com2Us.
Let it go.
This forum isn't going to change a damned thing. Those who feel abused are justified, at least to some extent, IMO. Let them vent.
That won't change a damned thing either but hopefully they can get it off their chests.
Not every opinion needs to be countered.
