Thanks. I’m gonna say something I think you’ll agree to, but probably put in different words.
It’s rooted in a kind of thinking that seems to have always been very typical, unfortunately. I call it “short-thinking.” It’s primitive, willfully limited, loves laziness and apparently easy ways out, and treats ego as the main goal. Logic and common sense go out the window, for the sake of doing whatever mental gymnastics are required to prioritise what eventually boils down to jerking off that ego.
Yeah, I don’t sugar-coat. It not only gives them more ground, as it fears “calling it what it is.” It’s also less efficient than being upfront, as far as I can tell (results-wise). And the ultimate, condemning compromise.
(Although I’m not against those who take a different approach but have my same goals at heart. I totally get why you may wanna be less blunt. Mine has its own drawbacks, of course.)
One of the many side effects of such mental conditions, is a lack of objectivity.
Again with that kind of argument … I talked with you in a few posts and though you were somewhat capable of critical thinking, no one ever said D2 was bad … literaly NO one … but it seem you do really are just stupid.
I’m just kinda lucky my love of language makes me use wording that is less identifiable by the censors of whatever platform as insults and so. The arrogant side of me frowns upon insults as “too basic.” Although I do curse like a sailor if I feel it’s necessary (I rarely do).
And of course, those overinflated egos will play the offended card over and over. Even while accusing everyone else of being offended by eveything in the same paragraph. You know them. They also treat everyone thinking differently like garbage, then it’s you who’s being disrespectful? Pure projecting hypocrisy.
I’m here, as anywhere else, to try to uphold the voice of reason and basic common sense. Which is the only sensible way to go about, as far as I know. With my shortcomings and failures, as we all have.
If that bothers someone, they’re welcome to counter-argument. But I’ll be very upfront and unforgiving about every last bias, fallacy or similar insult to intelligence they bring.
Those people are like that, partly because they’ve had loads of enablers telling them it’s fun and cool and consequences-free to be so dense.
It’s not. It’s quite clearly, a big part of what’s wrong with the entire world. From toxic dumpster fires online, to actual life-threatening bigotry and worse out there.
I know I’m not saving the world here. This is a game’s forum, lol. I just try to behave same as I do out there.
What you think, what you say, what you do, must form as straight a line as possible. That’s what brings actual peace of mind and happiness, I believe.
Purist could have two different meanings. One would be an original D2:LOD purist so they wouldn’t even be playing D2R or any mod for that matter. If it is a D2R purist they would play this game and post. But they wouldn’t be too keen about the new changes coming.
