Re: The problem is bigger than 343.

In Response To: Re: The problem is bigger than 343. (Avateur)

: Yes. Just know that the hyperbole is there for a reason. I'm aware he's said
: something. If you came out and said, "Avateur, you only ever post
: saying negative things about 343" and if I replied, "Nuh uh, I
: can name three times that I've said nice things!", it holds no water.
: 97 out of 100, while not absolutely literally 100%, still may as well be
: "only ever". My saying "any and all" implies "may
: as well be always, because a handful of times where you don't is
: statistically insignificant." There's hyperbole, and then there's
: taking said hypberole too literally.

I'm confused. It sounds like you're saying "yes, even though there are exceptions, for all intents and purposes I always only blame 343i for stuff" and "even though there are exceptions, certain people can be considered to always defend 343i", and then "don't take hyperbole too literally", when the previous statements are kind of hyperbolic (i.e. few examples = no examples). Also, I've said it before, but on the subject of tone, the smilies don't help. Sounding negative or jaded is one thing, putting a :P after it every time, to me, makes you sound smug, and that really grates.
