: There are plenty of people who are unhappy with the state of affairs,
: currently, but many of them are able to express that unhappiness without
: sounding like an asshole. You... not so much, these days.

: I've said it to you before, but I really, really wonder if you get it: it's
: not WHAT you say, but HOW you say it, that makes people annoyed.

: (For the record, I would ask you to find a SINGLE PERSON ON THIS FORUM - just
: one, I don't need a list, even though you used the word 'many' - who is
: working to 'deflect any and all blame from 343'. ANYONE. (Here's a hint -
: you won't be able to name ONE, because I'll show you a post where they
: expressed unhappiness with the current state of affairs, and attributed
: that state in at least SOME part to 343.)

: When you find yourself unable to name that one person, I'd like you to
: consider the words you use here.

I could name names quite easily, and yes, you can link to them calling 343 out about as often as I have said something nice about 343, but that won't change the fact that the Revenants, as an example, have tried quite hard to excuse just about any and all things 343 does wrong. About as much as I claim Schooly or myself were/are right.

Also, I never said anywhere recently that I have a problem with people disliking my tone, negativity, or how I say things. I don't care if Kermit or others are happy with their purchase and if they let us know. I just find it funny when we get linked to a blame the retail article, or 343 gets excused for having good intent like that justifies this launch, or because Microsoft is all in on the cash grab and it's not 343's fault (until cash grab is implied by Schooly or others, and then that, too, is unacceptable to claim even though it contradicts the blame Microsoft argument).
