Constructive discussion

[Gordons HQ]

I really did not think my response to Mr Roadrunners comments on my LOS thread to be contentious as such. But on reflection I could see it possibly could be seen that way.

However by reading these very threads often, his views can hardly not have been made more clear to anyone who reads the CS forum.
He is against any change whatsoever to the game he loves to play.
So when he paragraph by paragraph destroys ever word of what I thought was a constructively thought out argument, it is hardly surprising that in advance I knew what he would say in response to my thread.
Nor is this the first time he has done this with something I considered to be a constructively thought out thread.
Believe me I don’t mind this as this is his opinion and that is why I posted the threads, that is to obtain peoples opinions and to give food for thought.
What I really take exception to is the fact he continues to dominate the thread usually stating over and over again the same argument.

It’s the way it’s done too pasting in paragraph after paragraph of someone else’s reply, sometimes replying to the paste and sometimes just a one liner at the end
What then happens to the thread is issues posted by others become lost in the wealth of posts by Mr Roadrunner and usually one has to read through reams and reams of posts to find any alternate views at all. It becomes what I consider to be a very boring job indeed trying to get to the meat of the argument.
We know he loves the game, is against change and sometimes I believe that’s correct way to go when things are thought out.
However it’s not to say we are all against everything and everything new being discussed is wrong or will be bad for the game.
A proper discussion is the only way to go if we think there is an issue with the game and that there is possibly a way to correct an error in the game to make it better.
Those of us who think like that have just as much right to be heard as anyone else.

I’m finished now that’s it, that’s my final word, make of me what you will.
I'm off to my bunker now.

Cheers,
Gordon
