Will Vanheim Ever Become Spayed?

Why don't we all cool down a bit?

Gandalf has been very valuable member of Dom community for as long as I remember, which goes back to Dom2 beta days. (when I was actively lurking on this forum) Yes, sometimes he takes position that I personally think is incorrect, which sometimes may correspond with original dev visions. Like in this case of Helheim/Vanheim issue. But this is understandable, since he was part of this vision and had certain influence on it. However calling all his posts worthless is totally uncalled for - he contributed a lot to the Dom community.

I don't want to endless clarify and restate my position because 1) it is tiresome, and 2) it detracts from the thread.

But the continued misrepresentation of what I said by Gandalf's fanboys leaves me no choice.

Please note that I did not say "all his posts" are "worthless." I endeavor to be precise in my language, even on game forums.

What I did say instead is that Gandalf's posts are "worthless" when it comes to "threads of this nature": that is, threads where national or unit imbalances or comparisons are discussed.

Again, as a long-time lurker, I appreciate that Gandalf has made many invaluable contributions to this community, and I have even learned much from some of his posts. Moreover, he seems to be one of the nicer guys on this forum: witness the equanimity with which he takes some of these sharp criticisms in stride.

Nonetheless, all that cannot immunize you from criticism if you say something utterly devoid of persuasive force.
