And I think most of us are well aware of business and how business works. If a business goes into the red for too long, it dies. We don't need a lesson on simple economics. If somebody posted that a famous person died, would you come on to talk about how humans only have a limited lifespan and that the human body is frail and many things can kill it? Probably not.
I know you aren't pompous and arrogant. But your posts were clearly a bit too preachy for some of us here. If there's any forum besides WD's own that is filled with people who have strong feelings about WD's games, it's this one. That's why your posts come off bad here.
Well, I'm not trying to be preachy, heh. And I'd certainly never try to teach economics, since I nearly failed the last course of it I took. I was just trying to express something, nothing more. If it came off like I was soap boxing, that's unfortunate, since I was only trying to make a point I thought could be made.
My own economic hardships over the years have made me tackle things with realistic views that may come off as blunt and overbearing. When I deal with a subject, I tend to break it down to a base level, and I tend to pretty much be blatent with my views and not layer them too much, heh.
Perhaps my blunt way of speaking came off wrong in this emotional moment for some of you, but I was only trying move the grieving process along using a realism pov that I saw. I'll tone it down if you want, but perhaps we should take a collective breath
I know that I'm still, despite my long standing community wide status, pretty much renting space around here, that I haven't earned a right to stake any sort of claim of ownership in these boards as of yet. I understand that because of this I may ruffle feathers, since I guess I can still be perceived as a newb in these forums, a newb that still doesn't understand some of the boundaries.
But if I am going to be put back in line when I inadvertantly step on a toe, I'll probably react better if I'm simply told instead of being blown up at. I like it here, I've enjoyed myself (mostly) in the discussions with a lot of you because this is a forum built on the love of an incredible series that we have all dedicated copious amounts of time to. I don't think that should be forgotten just because one of us gets pissed at another over some stupid words.
