Sorry, but again I disagree. The trueness of the comment is not effected by
the intent or identity of the speaker.
Just because Hitler was evil, doesn't mean that there is not a lot of truth
in the comment "Words build bridges into unexplored regions".
It does bring another idea to my mind. Make sure you want to go to a new
region before you get on the bridge.
My name on, or not on, the bottom of the post in no way alters the
appearence of the way AutoTragic was presented.... "We've got something
great that allows you to do the job thay you've been paying us to do. If
you don't use it, we'll charge you more for us to keep having to do the job
we've been doing."
My name on, or not on, the bottom of a post in no way alters the odds that
some individuals will alter their behavior in an attempt to get to the top
of the player rankings. Nor does it alter the odds that being in a game
with one of those individuals will negatively impact the funness of the
game.
My name on, or not on, the bottom of a post in no way alters how the
proposed formula will likely give higher rankings to those that play more
games and turns. Nor does it change the odds that "players spending more
money in an effort to move on on the rankings" is the answer to "What is the
purpose of this ranking system?"
My name on, or not on, the bottom of a post in no way alters the possibility
that ME Games had decided to impose this system, long before it asked for
players input as to the goodness or badness of the system.
My name on the bottom of an email in no way alters the correctness or
incorrectness of any of the comments. Someone should not be required to
post their true name to have their message taken into consideration.
If ME Games somehow thinks that requiring a name will keep the conversation
more civil, then perhaps they should review the posts equating me to a
ranting lunatic or implying I'm little more than a chimp flinging dung. Or
where Clint himself made a comment "Finally a positive comment". Those
posts were properly signed, but far less civil than my posts.
