What's an example of the former? It's someone from the latter camp hijacking someone from the former camp's comment just to let him know how "really sad" it is that he's in the former camp and not the latter camp. Those who don't enjoy XBL achievements are also right and are also entitled to not having people judge them. Those who enjoy XBL achievements are right and are entitled to not having people judge them. That is actually the exact opposite of what I'm arguing: I'm arguing for tolerance. I could not care less who thinks XBL achievements are important and who doesn't. Here is an example of that: "You want to squash ANY opinion that even suggests that XBL Achievements aren't important because it undermines your own values." If that's what you're taking out of this then you're still not getting it. I don't think you're a "bad guy" I think you're naive and self-centered. Furthermore, that you think it's is "only ever a minor comment" reveals your obliviousness to that. That you continue to think that is exactly why your comments are condescending. The fact that you even thought it was "really sad" that his tastes shifted from gaming as you enjoy it to gaming as he now enjoys it is not a situation in need of sympathy. You're repeating yourself because you're not listening-merely letting your emotions paralyze your reading comprehension skills. This isn't a conversation, it isn't even a debate, and I am done with it. Every conversation that ever comes up about XBL Achievements winds up with you trying to stifle it to suit your opinion. You want to squash ANY opinion that even suggests that XBL Achievements aren't important because it undermines your own values. You aren't the Comment Police and it really doesn't matter if you think my true intentions were appropriate or not. Interpret it how you like, twist this conversation to be all about how "offensive it was", I really don't give a damn.Īt the end of the day, you and I both know that it doesn't matter what I say - my opinion is different to yours and your ego simply can't handle that. He merely stated one simple thing and I found sadness in the situation - it doesn't matter that you don't feel the same/interpret the situation the same way, as your opinion on how I felt is quite irrelevant. It was only ever a minor comment that you blew completely out of proportion to portray me as the 'bad guy' so you can feel morally superior. Me saying "that is really sad" was a true expression of sympathy for the situation. Calling out intolerance is the only acceptable form of intolerance. Again, the fact that you were "expressing sympathy" for a situation that doesn't require sympathy is exactly why your post was judgmental.īloody mirros, pots, and kettles? Keep your cliches in your handbag. Any other ideology is bound to be caught in a hypocrisy logic trap.Īn opinion being a "judgment" is not the same thing as being "judgmental".
I have only one ideology and that is that the only thing I don't tolerate is intolerance. I'm on the ground, pulling egomaniacs off their high horses. You replied by calling that "really sad" (it's not) and then proclaiming that you "play games because enjoy games", which is an odd thing to say unless you're insinuating something more, and then declared the thing he enjoyes most about gaming to be "in no way essential". He was merely stating the fact that he outgrew something he previously enjoyed and now enjoys a different form of that. Toni wasn't revealing a "sad" situation, like his father dying, that was in need of pity. I didn't misread the situation you did, as is evident by the false analogy you employed to defend it.
