Dramatic admonishment for daring to speak in my own defense on my own website as I've done a thousand times before. Leave the fool to his foolishness, then. Defending yourself within reason (e.g. you aren't disproportionately escalating back) has always been allowed here and always will be, and response to ad hominem is a necessary part of anyone's communication and debate toolbox, especially on the internet where every other person is an angry bag of hot air - with a minor in women's studies - like our OP here. You're creating an arbitrary set of standards (that I can't ever speak in my own defense or NeoGAF's or the other users here for that matter) and then having me fail to meet them to your liking. I don't know what world you're living in, but on mine it's not faux pas to throw a retort in at the occasional internet shitbag's unwarranted personal attacks whether you're a CEO or a politician or a writer or anyone else who deals with this kind of nonsense on the regular.

n/m, disaffected millennial with useless degree and probable student debt. You clearly have zero self-awareness of just how foolish you look trying to wave around your history degree "with a focus on women's studies" as if that does anything to recontextualize your impotent temper tantrum. Sincerely, now's as good a time as any to take a step back and reflect on your behavior. Stop and read your own posts. Do you see anything other than a litany of personal attacks and childish demands to be taken seriously?

[bork]

Gotta say, this was at least one of the more entertaining "ban me" posts I've seen. Sorry to see you go, dude. But I completely understand the frustration and the degree to which you're fed up. I'm not quite there myself yet, but...

Why are you so ang--

n/m, disaffected millennial with useless degree and probable student debt.

This is a bad fucking look, man.

Yep, the hypocrisy is real.

Yep. Opens the post with a personal attack, then follows it up by asking how OP expects to be taken seriously when he uses personal attacks.


Also, not everyone is fortunate enough to get rich off of an online gaming forum; someone like Evilore mocking someone for their assumed financial situation is really punching down. Just mean for no reason and a bad look for someone who's almost quite literally the face of the site.

Last I checked the opening had already occurred when the OP hurled defamatory comments and insults directly at me, the site, and other people here. That doesn't merit much diplomacy or respect in return, though if you think I stand out as the one looking bad here for calling a useless degree useless then you're wearing some serious Eating Crackers goggles. Recognize context.

You will always stand out because you are the ultimate authoritative voice on this site, and you are the one who profits from running it. When you kneejerk to a petty defense like that, it looks distasteful. Professionalism demands the high road be taken, because whether you agree with this or not, you represent this entire community. No one's asking you to kiss the ass of a user who's clearly posting inflammatory remarks, but jeering, mocking, and coming back with the same level of childishness makes all of us look bad and makes you personally look thin-skinned and unprofessional.


Also, just as an aside, I don't understand the eating crackers reference.




No one asked Evilore to be polite. You can be both stern and professional.

Yep and a major reason the exodus was so vast.

It's a reference to:

(Image removed from quote.)

Trust me: I'm an expert at eating crackers and acting like I own the place.


Look, feigning sainthood and self-serious anal retentive formality doesn't set a constructive example or inform the intended tone here when that isn't the intended tone at all and never has been.


You're on the internet posting in a trashy account suicide thread I undeleted to poke some fun at after busting out laughing at the last bit about reading academic journals and a history degree with a focus on women's studies. Feel free to critique my professionalism and composure at the next G20 summit, but I'll once again suggest some recognition of context.

This response is baffling to me. So, what's the tone that you want to set here, then, exactly? That you want this place to become shitpost central? That it's okay to kneejerk to a defense that punches down in a very personalized manner? Even though one of the rules is to not engage in personal attacks? What happened to wanting newGAF to be a place of civilized discourse? At what point does civilized discourse end? Where does the window for shitposting open?

Your attack against this now former user doesn't "set a tone"; it creates a dissonance. It creates a divide between the rules that you set up and that your mod team enforces vs your own personal behavior. The message that's being relayed is "Well, it's okay when I make fun of someone for being poor, but don't let me or the mod team catch you bringing up someone's post history of defending pedophiles because that's a personal attack."

And, again, no one asked you for politeness or sainthood. All you had to do was post "Done." -- or even say nothing at all -- ban the guy, lock the thread, and move on. You even just said that you deleted and undeleted the thread -- what, just to be petty? And if you really think I have Eating Crackers goggles on, then you're paranoid on top of it. I've never said a damn word to or about you before this thread, so to accuse me of holding some grudge against you just crosses the line into downright silly.

You're acting a fool, and it's just a bad fucking look all around, broheim.

Wow. If asking you to adhere to your own ruleset is "arbitrary" to you, then that's a statement on you, not me.

The statement is a very disappointing one, by the way.

Forbes: Xbox One's 'Sea Of Thieves' Is No More Than 10% Of A Finished Game

As expected, Sea of Thieves was released yesterday and the game is….very much like what we’ve seen in the early tests the past few weeks and months. There was this running pre-defense of Sea of Thieves by Xbox fans that secret depths were lurking under the surface, that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg but that simply is not the case.

Sea of Thieves feels like a good deal when rolled into Microsoft’s $10-a-month-for-a-whole-bunch-of-games Xbox Game Pass, but less so when you realize this is being sold as a $60 title to most players. Playing the game myself, watching more advanced people play “later” stages on Twitch, it seems very clear that this is a totally unfinished game, and yes, my earlier, much-derided predictions about Sea of Thieves having No Man’s Sky’s strengths and weaknesses were warranted.

Some things about Sea of Thieves are great. I really like the fundamental mechanic of missions being little more than a map and an X, and it’s up to you to figure out where you’re going and what to dig up without giant flashing indicators on your screen telling you exactly where to go. And there’s obviously a lot of fun to be had in a larger crew with friends, goofing around, trying to steer your ship properly, but being matchmade with randoms or being forced to play solo siphons almost all enjoyment out of Sea of Thieves immediately.

The problem is that Sea of Thieves is not a complete game. It just isn’t. It’s maybe 5 or 10% of one, but given what other open world/co-op games can offer you for $60, it’s just astonishing how little Sea of Thieves offers. The issues? Where to start.

Pretty much. I like the premise of a game's hook being the shared experience of doing stuff with friends, but the game doesn't seem to have anything beyond that. Gimme a story, give me PvP, give me high-skill combat, give me a leaderboard, give terrain I can interact with, give me any of those.

Free speech is dangerous, but not in a way that most people posting on resetera would understand.

[benjipwns]

I do agree that there are dangers/drawbacks to limiting free speech, such as enabling the banning of certain types of clothing in the name of protecting the people wearing them by fining the people wearing them.

So just to be clear your point of view is that people should be allowed to speak no matter what they have to say?

Yes. And yes, that includes Nazis, Holocaust deniers, or whatever other problem cases you want to nominate.

Awesome.


I thank God people like you are in the minority. Though I can't fathom how you sleep at night.

I really enjoy all the chest beating about how they're the actual majority. So, from their own perspective, they're literally arguing for the majority to use the law to silence minorities. And part of their justification is that the minorities are minorities so people in the majority shouldn't worry about it.

Also, I enjoy how often the ACTUAL ISSUE is something else entirely and it's the fault of the disingenuous bad faith minorities who disingenuously try to confuse people out of bad faith by using words and terms that existed before everyone got the memo about the new terms to use:

Why do people continuously obfuscate the “deplatforming” issue with free speech?

The issue was never free speech. The issue is deplatforming

[benjipwns]

Irrelevant, the issue has never been speech, you're being obfuscating in bad faith. The actual issue is Sea of Thieves successful and innovative dynamic gameplay.

I got no mans sky last summer for like $20, I thought it was decent for that price, then again it had had 3 major content updates by then and was almost in the state that people assumed it would have been at launch. I wanted a pirate game but when I saw solo play sucked in Sea of Theives I just bought AC Blackflag instead.

Stop trying to obfuscate the issue:

I would say this is too far. But I've seen the guy debate destiny and what he has to say on Alt Right Podcasts. This isn't just some trick he taught his dog, he is a full on white supremacist or at the very least an ethnostate believer

The dude is an actual Nazi

The only disgusting thing is the dude

white supremacist trash

In UK hate speech is illegal, and saying to gas the jews is one of them. Only in US you will be allowed to deny the holocaust, works well for the US doesn't it?

As you can see he wasn't punished for his speech, he simply is hopefully being deplatformed out of reality due to being a bigot.

[benjipwns]

It's not as if this phrasing were novel. "Gas the Jews" is a phrase directly referring to genocide, so it's wrong to assume it's about hurting somebody's feelings. There are some ideas that are abhorrent, never again to be countenanced. Not because of somebody's feelings, but because we remember what happened last time such ideas became fashionable and hip to joke about.
