As if it would be about you. So you don't like the way he writes and argues, fine. I am much finer with that than with bloggers thinking so highly of themselves that they feel like telling others how to write their blogs and coming along with the "right of humans to free speech".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196085318857030703.post-77666394317286862412014-03-08T06:53:38.893-08:002014-03-08T06:53:38.893-08:00Not to be crude, but your article reads very aggre...Not to be crude, but your article reads very aggressively. Saying you are going to take things as a direct personal attack, just for questioning the integrity and history of someone is ... bizare.<br /><br />The premise of your article is basically that bloggers can't articulate issues they have with a game. If we are only allowed to say good things about games, then games can never truly get better.<br /><br />If I'm paying for something, you can bet your ass I have the right to say whether or not I like it.<br /><br />If someones trying to sell me on a game, you can bet your ass I'm going to analyze the game to see if its for me.<br /><br />This notion that we can't criticize stuff runs contrary to our rights as humans to free speech. If you can't handle negative reviews or previews of games you want to play... don't read them.<br /><br />You made the comment that complaining doesn't change shit. You'd be wrong. I've seen and witnessed countless hundreds of thousands of posts by gamers that were directly taken into account and implemented in a game.<br /><br />Go look at EVE Online for relevant RECENT examples. Bloggers carry a lot of weight with that community and some of the more prominent ones are part of the Council of Stellar Management. If you need an example to refute your inane arguments that complaining doesn't lead to change you can take a good long gander at that program.<br /><br />I don't mean to criticize your post as much as I feel like I am, but your entire post rambles from one topic to the next and reads sort of like you are going to reach out and punch people for not agreeing with you. I can't imagine that type of complaint having much impact or carrying weight with any of your target audience. Me for example? I would happily disregard your "threat" and criticize @nicholaslovell if I knew who the fuck he was and if he wasn't relevant for your discussion. Fortunately I don't even know what his quote was intended to highlight in this article.<br /><br />Take the criticism for what its worth. Sometimes a kinder, more organized approach might yield bette results eliciting the type of change you are writing about.<br />Screehttp://www.scree.orgnoreply@blogger.com
