Tell me that the general (gaming) population will not pre-judge someone because they don't have the same play style.
Tell me that you've never made a generalization about anyone, or anything, in your life.

You can't come in here and pretend that you're a saint and say that others shouldn't judge others or tell them how to play (which I don't see anyone telling anyone else how to play) because you have never judged anyone ever and you would never do that.

You'd be lying.
Well it's a good thing nobody said that in this thread, or anything like that!

This, by the way, is exactly what I'm getting at: MiRai is clearly arguing with someone else, not me and not Apps because neither of us have said what he seems to be thinking we've said. How can I have a discussion with someone who isn't willing to read *my* words and respond to them without completely distorting them into something that isn't even remotely close to what I said? How can I respond to criticisms of arguments I never made and that nobody else has made?

I can't, so I won't. MiRai, congratulations - you have demonstrated the validity of my main points far more convincingly with your responses to me than I ever could have. Your complete dedication to totally ignoring what I actually said and instead responding to what you would like to imagine I said shows exactly how pointless it is for me to try to change the behavior of people who are unwilling to take in new information and consider it.

You stick to your guns and shine on, you crazy diamond!
