CS Game Scale - Manual Style

[Glint]

You miss the point. Some are being too vigourous in defending their' point of view. What the 'manual' states is not the 'be all and end all'. People are playing the game according to the tools handed to us? One doesn't need to quote reference sources to prove points made. Your Tiger can knock a Sherman IV at a certain range, that's what you play with, that's what a lot of players play with. An engineer can lay a minefield in six minutes, so be it. I don't have to quote references, I just accept that's what the game engine does and get on with it.

'' As with any exchange of ideas and thoughts, is it not good debate practice to weigh in with evidence and information that supports your position? ''

- Not when one speaks from what they feel. That is in their heart, can't produce written evidence to support it.

'' I disagree with your assertion that a few players are trying to "override" others thoughts..." Everyone may post their opinions, ideas and thoughts in this forum? Should not players who post their comments and defend them vigorously, not expect the same from others? Isn't that the idea behind forums? ''

- Your interpretation of forums, mine is that forums are somewhere to help, encourage and discuss in a responsible manner, the latter being derided by a few.

''Again, posting your opinion to the forums does not guarantee that others will agree with it? Should not all players who post be allowed to support their arguments with referenced evidence? AND defend their positions as vigorously as others?''

- Agreed! But do it in a manner that doesn't abuse the other person's view?

''Stuff and nonsense Peter.'' - That is not the way to debate a point? !!!!

Someone told me a few years ago, - '' When you listen to someone's else point of view, think to yourself, 'maybe he's right and I'm wrong?'' If some of us think about that before we post, maybe we wouldn't get the eruptions that occur. That includes me, I bow to others' superior knowledge of the game but when I make a post stating a view, I don't expect to be told it's gamey, I wouldn't play against them, etc., I'm merely trying to put a point of view relevant to the post and don't expect to get categorised as such, just over a point of view? This goes back to an earlier post I made. It isn't a tactic I use, just a 'what if?' statement and it becomes a matter of pesonal attack in my eyes and, going by some other posts and e-mails I've recieved, is seen the same, so when will guys admit they are out of order?
