Not good enough. (Destiny)

If there's one thing I stand for, it's that tone matters as much or maybe even more than content. Especially in a non-realtime forum that lacks conversational clues. I think if we did a fair analysis, we'd find that most people agree with Korny's poinst, but very strongly disagree with the way he makes them and with the little digs he often includes.

Personally, I don't want to have to dig through goads and hyperbole and minor insults just to get to the actual, agreeable point. Further, I don't think the reaction you see is based on this one thread, but is the release of months of frustration at Korny's posting style. It's not hard to find where others have asked him to tone it down over the past few months.

I guess I want to clarify that I'm not necessarily trying to sail in to defend him, he's a big boy and he doesn't need my help on that. But I guess I'm just surprised at the extent of the reaction. I too sometimes hate the stuff I hear coming out of him about Bungie because I don't want it to be true. But that doesn't mean that it isn't.

Again, the validity of his points, in this thread especially (where I think they were very valid), are being overshadowed and smothered beneath the way he interacts. And I have no problem with that. I think anyone who goes out of their way to post in a disagreeable way deserves some large amount of backlash.

The good news is, I don't think anyone is permanently mad at Korny. We're just asking him to be less goading. I think if he were to follow through he'd get a lot of agreement with his points of view.
