: Query: is that passive aggressive? I don't think it is. Maybe it seems
: passive aggressive to you because you disagree with him, and it doesn't
: seem passive aggressive to me because I agree with him. Maybe I don't see
: it as passive aggressive because I feel exactly the same way with a
: completely different fandom?
: I guess his "From some of the same people" could be passive
: aggressive, but what's more constructive? "From some of the same
: people, who I am not going to name" or "From some of the same
: people. You know who you are, Bob, Dick, and Henry." In my
: experience, actually naming people makes it personal and nasty.
I didn't cover this is in my explanation post because I didn't realize this might have been the problem. So to explain, I didn't want to name names or point out anyone because of what you said here, but also because I don't think it is any individual that is the source of the issue I described. It's not even WHAT they might be saying. It's more about HOW they are saying it. How they are projecting it, if that makes any sense.
: I don't know. What I took away from his post is that neither Bungie nor
: Trautmann are necessarily dicks, we keep bickering at each other, and a
: lot of our conversations turn toward "Bungie never gave us what we
: wanted" and "343i couldn't write their way out of a wet paper
: bag if they had Neil Gaiman on the phone walking them through step by
: step."*
I'd still play THAT game. :)
: This came up a few weeks ago, and at the time I sad that negativity isn't
: breaking us apart. Having had sufficient time to ponder the question, my
: answer must change. HBO is dying while other equally negative communities
: are thriving because we aren't a bunch of fans. We're friends who get
: together to play a cool game. Negativity ruins that.
: *Adjusts shirt collar
Feel similar. :/
