C'mon Korny, that's horsecrap, and you know it. (Destiny)

I'm not pandering to an audience, or stirring up crap for the sake of profit.

Then what are you stirring up crap for? I'm legitimately asking the question. You have valid points (even though it seems pretty widely acknowledged on this particular forum that lots of those issues aren't actually issues for many folks here, or are, at worst, a slight annoyance), but I can't figure out why you use the tone you do. It feels like you're intentionally using the most annoying, mocking tone possible. You know it grates on people, and yet you continue to do it, even though it's been pointed out multiple times. Why?

We could have an actual discussion about any of the issues you bring up, but the phrasing and tone of your posts make it seem like you don't actually want that, and, if that's the case, why bring it up at all?

I know "Korny is a troll" is a running joke around here, but it feels like it's become much more than that lately. It used to feel good-natured (or at least it did to me), but it feels spiteful now, more often than not. Maybe that's just a problem with my interpretation--I legitimately don't know.

I'm just trying to understand what you're trying to accomplish. It feels an awful lot like you're trying to convince us brainwashed fanboys that, no, actually, Bungie sucks and we should be ashamed for accepting the sub-par product they're giving us. Your tone makes it feel like we're all idiots for enjoying this game the way it is. It feels like you go beyond criticizing Bungie for their product and into criticizing us for enjoying their product. I assume that's actually not your intention, but your phrasing and mocking tone can give one that impression.

Anyway, I've said my piece. No hard feelings from my side--I think we've played together enough that you know I don't take this stuff personally, and I hope you don't either.
