As it is, I'm disliked (or thought of as a retard) because I defended my opinion after getting it attacked. Namely, I said I liked IW just as much as DX - and in a forum full of fanboys that is not a good idea as I found out in a stupidly long 13 page topic.
Constantly my opinion was misinterpreted such as a recent post "There is also one individual here who thinks IW is better than DX" - and then linking to a topic where on the last page I re-iterated my opinion for probably the 10th time that I liked the games equally for different reasons.
Then there's the argument teqnique employed by a lot of the people there, where it kind of went like this:
"I didn't like it when after you leave Tarsus in Seattle you're immediately contacted by infolink! UNREALISTIC!"
"The same thing happens in Beth DuClare's mansion..."
"Uh...well what about people swapping between infolink and holocomm messages? Eh?"
"That happens in the Vandenburg sub base..."
"Well, Deus Ex hid it better!"
"No it didn't"
"YOU'RE IGNORING MY POSTS, YOUR ARGUMENTS SUCK, SHUT UP"
And generally it goes down to attacking me as being argumentative and de-railing topics because I say what I think, and someone feels they need to argue with me. When I defend myself, I get blamed for the derailing, not the other person (or people) doing it. Which has made me laugh a few times to witness the sheer idiocy of some TTLG users.
