Of all the failings i can think of not venting my anger is the one i should fix. I use to be able to work out but i spent my life treating my body like it would last forever and that is just not possible. I also use to have my speed bag and heavy bag but they haven't been set up for about a year.

So they question remains of who needs more sand? The guy who says hes not going to bother reading it or the one that gets upset that someone said they're not going to bother reading it? Or do you see how that comment took your post from a meaningful one and put it right in the shit can? If i had to take a guess by putting that part in there you must have ignored a part in this article you want everyone else to read. Once again though i will just say im not going to bother to read it. See if you can put your failings aside and just let me not read it.

Quit Trolling and Read it, otherwise don't post that you're not gonna bother, that's just being a tool.

Its all good dex. They're just showing who the rooster is around here.

I just dont see why people need to read an article to see they have flaws. Then i have to also have to acknowledge the guy is regurgitating what someone else said to a very specific topic of EVE. By acknowledging all of that i can say without a doubt reading the article is a complete waste of time here. Maybe if it was posted in an EVE section or in game discussions it would be worth the time to read because after all thats where we go to discuss such things.

With that in mind im not against it being in here and maybe swayed in a way to where people can view it towards other things but you also cant get upset when someone says im not going to read it. After all i cant force anyone to read my posts any more then anyone else can force me to read theirs. If there is anything i have learned in life its everyone has flaws. Some acknowledge them, some try to correct them, some ignore them, and some spend their time pointing out others hoping theirs get overlooked in the process. So the last thing i need to read is an article about eve even if i feel the need to process that information toward another topic because we have plenty of people around here that will gladly point out when you have a flaw.

The article is not about EVE. EVE just happens to be the place that person spends most of their game time. As a topic it is equally applicable to numerous BF3 forums, battlelog, this one, etc etc etc.

But you aren't going to read it and that's fine. However claiming it's about EVE and therefore meaningless outside of that forum, or mmo forums, is almost deliberately missing the point.

It's a look at logical fallacies used in debates, especially in online debates, and most especially in contentious debates (this area jumps to mind). Nothing more. EVE just happened to be the author's point of reference. One could just as easily swap EVE references out for "News, Politics, Drama, etc" forum and it would for perfectly.

Hopefully some useful discussion will be spurred amongst people that might actually read the article, or at the very least a reduction in the Rampant Bullshit (and largely unfounded claims and unwieldy argumentative contortions) this forum has become known for.
