If it is directed at a person you don’t know for the purpose of putting them down and demeaning them it is.
It’s very telling that you are comfortable defending such poor behaviour when it suits your cause.
Clearly telling someone their English is bad does nothing at all to further amicable and productive conversation. It’s used as a put down and to drown out their point and make them look incompetent.
I strongly wish such “debate” got moderated off the forums.
Forget polls showing the popularity of dual spec, I’d love to know the popularity of having moderators ban bullies and trolls (on all sides of the debate).
I went to get some blueberry cheesecake ice cream and I grabbed one from the back to min-max the coldness for the drive home in the heat. I got home and I cracked that sucker open.
Wrong ice cream. Someone put some caramel garbage behind my blueberry cheesecake ice cream. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
He was claiming I did. But I did not. I have never accused anyone of being autistic on this forum.
I was arguing against feywaif calling opponents autistic and arguing against him then attempting to justify it by misrepresenting what I said to imply I did it too. I used the term. But you and your pal have simply invented that I used it as a prejorative. Another debating trick - “we can behave badly because we caught you doing it too”.
So, not only are you defending toxic behaviour, you’re misrepresenting what I said, and engaging in metooism to further justify bad behaviour.
If you think I’ve behaved badly, rise above it, don’t use it as an excuse to behave worse. It doesn’t matter if you think I’ve done the same, don’t do it going forward.
You’re missing a key thing. I’ve never actually called you these things. Even if I had it doesn’t excuse you doing so too.
I called people who don’t want to respec lazy in general. Or implied it as a result of behaviour eg. If you don’t XYZ then you’re being lazy. Not “you are lazy”. I’ve called some of your comments purile (not you) and they have been. You can apply the same criticism to your current comment too. I implied in general that the people with your views are mostly blow ins. It was a generalisation and not a personal attack.
You have taken a lot of what I said personally but that doesn’t mean that I intended that nor that the claims were personally targetted.
There is a difference between describing a behaviour and describing a person.
None of that is on anywhere near the same level as personally attacking someone as stupid, uneducated etc…
Even if I had, it doesn’t excuse you doing it.
It’s typical of you to claim justification by implying I’m “just as bad”. I’ve called out your behaviour that is all. But I have not once directly made a baseless personal claim about you as a person or anyone else commenting. Not once. By contrast I’ve vigorously made claims about what you’ve said. There’s a difference.
If I have personally attacked, I’m more than happy to have it moderated or cop a ban for it.
You’re collective attempt to misrepresent my comments as personal attacks not withstanding.
Ah so it was a forum debating tactic then. You were simply pretending to take my generalised comments personally so as to make it look like I was behaving just as badly as you? Got it.
You are right we should move on, and agree to behave better. But I will continue to call out dirty tricks when they happen.
Edit: Responding to below (don’t want to bump). You say “no” to behaving better? Lol consider yourself ignored henceforth. Don’t waste my time.
There’s four people going on ignore and you know who you are. It’s not you’re opinion that’s objectionable but rather your bully tactics and misrepresentation. You’re after petition bumps and not discussion. You don’t even attempt to conceal it.
If it was even a consideration it would have happened already.
It’s not. And it won’t be. Would be a 100x more stupid decision than anything that has been done to this game combined.
There’s a reason threads like this, the fresh server threads, the get rid of boost threads, etc. never ever see any response or blue post. Blizzard isn’t even going to give the idea the light of day.
People who are advocates for dual spec, get on with your lives. It’s not going to happen.
Major city should be enough. Why would I need to run to the class trainer first. That’s somewhat absurd.
Nothing wrong with to “buy” the possibility of dual spec. But in a one time payment or like an abo model, not like the system we have right now!
So overall I wouldn’t call that “middle”, I would call it “you are trying to fool/trap me”.
So no, NOT
!!!
We don’t need sufficient justification to meet your requirements, the sheer mass of agreement is sufficient justification!
The system also should make it easier to respec, not just less expensive. So reducing the respec fee would be better than nothing but still not good! It should be possible to have your 2 main specs you play and swap between them.
I can understand that some people don’t want it during raid, that’s fine for me, but overall it should be enough if you are able to respec at least overall in major cities. Not always run to the class trainer first…
Yes, the choices increase from only being able to respec at a class trainer to having two choices, respec’ing on the fly or traveling to a class trainer.
2 choices is greater than 1 choice.
Follow me?
So tired of you idiots who can’t make an actual argument.
