First off, Victor is clueless. As in "without *any* clue", as to my gaming
style or even what was plainly posted by me. He continues to rant on about
things I've never done or said and I'm more than happy to put the verbal
smack-down on him when he does. I'll continue to do so in the future...
Also, the whole "patch" thing sucks. I don't subscribe to it and he does,
in fact he lives for it (or so it seems). Any schmoe with a pencil and
paper can create a patch to explain why lifelong enemies suddenly kiss and
make up, but it's BS and straight from the fairy tale realm. Maybe he'll
wake up and realize that it is just a patch and not a solution nor is it in
any way realistic, maybe he won't. I'm merely trying to enlighten the poor
soul.
Finally, I have to reiterate that he has absolutely no idea what he's
posting about. My posts were there, clearly detailed, and he took them in a
way that no other human with the capacity to understand the English language
would have. So long as he continues to do so, I'll tear him into tiny
pieces for it. My guess is that he's too blind and pig-headed to admit he's
wrong and that even if he wasn't, he's put way too much stake in his
imagined view to back down now.
I know Victor's views on this aspect of gaming quite well, I've actually
read his posts so I can say this. They aren't THAT much different than mine
in that, Mike is correct. Where I've taken up my cause is in the "patch"
portion of this and explaining to Victor that he is SO far off on my gaming
views. I mean, I used plain English, most people here can at least get an
idea of what was said from that. Why hasn't he caught on?
So by all means, let this continue... I've got my views and they're what
I've been saying they are. Whatever Victor is trying to say my views are is
both wrong and perceived as such by all but him. I'll happily shoot the guy
down post after post until he realizes this.
You realize it yet, Vic? You with the rest of the class now?
