Hi Madcat, My avatar is named “Xenterex”.
You are at the point where you’re going to start asserting that “forum warriors” are ganging up on you because more than one person has now replied to you, and they aren’t agreeing with what you have said.
You have made an accusation that someone “kept telling you” something that is inconsistent with what they actually post. You are demonstrating cognitive dissonance.
Here’s an example of the contradiction you are trying to impose:
QueenB has held that stance that a minority of players keep complaining about things and will do so until ‘everything’ is removed from the game. They do not have a stance that such change will “never come” because they’re of the opinion that the devs listen too much to those sort of complaints.
Now there is something that has been said about ‘never’ for HotS and that’s regarding the “surrender” request.
Your flag for falling back on calling a “forum warrior” is a bad crutch that causes you to excuse poor reading habbits. You have tired to claim things that are not true under scrutiny. Part of why “Forum warriors” may speak out against particular complaints is due to the tendency for complainers to believe incorrect information and then fault others for their own inaccuracy.
Now, I’m posting this, not to “Defend” a “Forum Warrior” but to act on my own philosophy/conviction. I have been of the opinion that people that frequency complain about something – when using incorrect information – are hiding the realization that they are creating the unwanted experience for themselves. I am hoping that pointing out moments of people lacking self-awareness could have some magical realization when they notice that they are the ones creating the incongruity they project at others. Hopefully, when anyone reduces the weight of their “cognitive dissonance” they’ve made, they’ll be able to function better, and be more likely to enjoy things that they’ve otherwise associated with a bad time.
And while this is a ‘needlessly long post’, I do so hope that occasionally someone else will bother to read through all the “word salad” I posted and realize how little moments like these happen in all the rest of their day, and then learn to be a little more cognizant of perspective and actions in life and apply the realization to other moments.
The more you know!
