Didn´t play any victim card, now where did you get this one into your head?


Nope, no victim card at all,

Totally in my head.


I guess you can (mis)interpret that sentence as such, but the way I meant to relay it was more along the lines of "pessimistic realism" than "poor me" - if you now understand.

That's fine Runic, just play that victim card.

Clearly everyone is out to get you, and is in no way related to how you carry yourself on these forums.

Have a nice day.
Hey! Maybe I am out to get him!

Ever think of that?! Hunh! Hunh!

*Looks again*

No, sorry... my mistake. You can keep him.

One other thing about a low post count - it can indicate somebody that has not yet learned how a forum plays together - if RunicFIN came from 4Chan then he is being quite restrained, but for here... not quite so much.

It is possible that he is used to being on forums where the volume of argument is paramount over quality of argument - that when pressed for proof he takes it as a request to increase the volume.

Though how someone can try to argue that GW hasn't claimed to do no market research....

The reason I bought rules and became a real wargamer was because I wanted a properly thought out structure to govern the action instead of just making things up as I went along.

I merely dropped that as a sarcastic one liner because I find it hard to believe that someone knowledgeable about the game could make such insane, illogical false equivalencies.

I had originally intended to address your post piece by piece, but then decided I'd rather not spend the time to attempt to get you to understand other peoples' positions when you would basically just go "NO U!" and stuff your fingers in your ears.

Funny thing is, I had originally intended to address his points piece by piece, but then I realized that I could spend probably half an hour doing that and have him ignore or willfully misinterpret things, or I could drop a snarky one-liner and go do something else with my time.


But you instead went with an outrageously unlogical claim, acting like you know anything about a person you´ve never met and blatantly stated I don´t play Warmachine?

Just like most of the anti-GW folk have been doing in a couple of threads now. Sticks and stones. Again.

Gotta admire you guys for persistence, I don´t know what you´re after though.

Same.

Anyway, what are you guys trying to do or achieve here?

So, I explicitly say "post count does not invalidate an argument, but the argument you were making is typical of low post count users, and was done badly" and you somehow get "you have a low post count therefore your argument was bad?"

You fail at reading hard.

We find comfort among those who agree with us - growth among those who don't. - Frank Howard Clark

The wise man doubts often, and changes his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubts not; he knows all things but his own ignorance.

I don't know, what the hell are you trying to achieve by coming to this forum and attempting to force everyone to agree with you by being ]abrasive, condescending, illogical,and stating your opinion as fact while simultaneously dismissing everyone else's opinion?
