Hell, I bashed on the artistic integrity of freakin' Guitar Hero and got shot down, so how this thread has turned out isn't all that suprising.

On that note,

Worst thread so far today.
I agree... horrible thread.

It's amazing to me when people complain about noobs starting threads without understanding forum etiquette when HOZ can post antagonistic threads like this.

He's been asked by posters repeatedly to clarify both his intentions in posting the article and to detail precisely what he found interesting/provocative about the article. Rather than do that, he insults the other posters reading skills. Then he attacks the only poster providing detailed responses to him, insulting that poster and mischaracterizing the tone and content of his posts.

I will say that I'm disappointed in myself for rising to HOZ's bait and in enabling his bizarre rhetorical strategy of never asserting his position but merely ridiculing the positions of others. It's an absurd stance to take on a community messageboard dedicated to discussion, but it's completely internally logical, I suppose, if one has a persecution complex and is desparate to feel misunderstood.
