New Miyamoto interview (must read)!

[Nintendarse]

I needed to mull over this whole thing. And I have reached a conclusion that we never reach closure over arguments because we refuse to recognize that some things are too subjective, like the amount of innovation in a product. Perhaps I am getting frusrated because there is no common ground to start from, nothing that we can agree upon at the outset.

I come from a life experience which tells me that I should not judge another human's thoughts, emotions, interests, and feelings. Everyone has a right to think what they think, get angry when they get angry, get sad when they get sad. Only when the action inspired by these feelings conflicts with the rights of a human/animal/environment should I judge the actions of the individual.

As a part of this feeling, I must be willing not to judge someone because they think they have a right to diminish the value of a person's opinion. However, when someone says in a public forum, "I may be impressed by different things, but the reasons behind my being impressed are worth more," that is taking an action. The action there is to degrade the value of the opinion of another sovereign human being. While this action is legally protected under the first amendment, it is also disrespectful. This is a relaxed forum where people are ecouraged to share their opinions. I hope that in the future we can have more respect for each other.
