The Metroid ZM impressions/reviews thread

[A Black Falcon]

Actually, you tend to give off the impression during an argument that you believe the other person shouldn't be thinking whatever they are thinking. Also, you give off a strong impression that you don't respect the other's opinion at all. Yeah, I know you say it's jokes or whatever when you call them idiots, but it's not readily apparent. Tact is important. Perhaps with some tact it would be more readily apparent, as in this case, that you don't actually think someone is stupid or has bad tastes for liking something else.

Exactly. And as this arguement proves it's not just with me, OB1. You do it with everyone you argue with and it's REALLY tiring. Insults for "humor" aren't funny in any way. And when you say them it does not look like you are trying to be funny...

OB1, the way you do that all the time is REALLY tiresome. I don't like how you insult me so often. I know I don't deserve it and it's wrong. It also does not help you in your arguements one iota... it makes arguing with you very tiring and ... well, almost not worth it.. because I know you will instead of thinking of what I said and writing a response based on what I mean you will just read off the top, insult me, and absolutely refuse to actually consider any of my ideas. You just restate what you said with insults. As I've said before, that is NOT how you conduct a discussion worth having.

But as OB1 says you're hardly perfect either DJ... between making statements that are argumentative and bring counterpoints that you never defend (how you think that is okay I will never understand)... yes, OB1 does that 'insult your opinions' thing ten times for each time you do it, but you do it too, definitely. I can think of some examples... other than what he mentioned. It makes your complaint of the same against OB1 somewhat hypocritical.

How about that WoW thread? I think it was that one anyway. Where we were discussing Warcraft III. ASM made some points about the current game balance. You then mocked him for using Warcraft-fan terms and 'just copying what you say elsewhere'. Then you left and never returned to the point when ASM and I said how stupid that was (to me your position there just shows that you are not a hardcore Blizz fan -- a Blizz fan would know those terms and would discuss game balance because it's such a big factor in the game! Oh but even if you aren't you should understand, given how you claim to be a nerd -- you care about so many things on that level that insulting someone for caring about another one is just stupid...)... that to me is cowardice -- running in, insulting someone, and running out. Worse in many ways than OB1 because you just leave.

Oh, you did defend yourself in the Enlightenment thread but again you attaked some... I mean, you almost made it sound like history didn't matter much and because you hadn't heard of the Enlightenment it didn't matter and you didn't really need to know what it was which is again quite dumb...
