He's an okay guy, imo. He did a very nice giveaway earlier this month, and you treat him like this... the guy has OCD.

What are you talking about?

The guy has also got very strong political views and leanings, which he manage to drag into most discussions. if you do this prepare that people do not agree with you. this has nothing to do with OCD

(never down rated him myself, is this is what it is about).

Uh... strong political views? I don't like talking about politics. He's okay, though.

Hmmm, I don't know, I'll think about it. :P

I'm just kidding. He's on my friend-list. I got no problem with the guy. :)

Nope, cant do it.

So do you, so that also has nothing to do with it.

The titular man rages against games, which is fine. Not everyone likes the same games, not everyone views gamer culture the same way.

indeed I do, have a political slant I never try to hide it. I also expect every single post I make to be down-rated to heck and back.

(I don't see rep, as I have an addon that have removed it.... so I am not aware of it being the case or not... nor do I give flying fig if it is the case)

and now the forum jokers have high rated your comment and down rated richlinds.
It would be funny if the mystery rep abuser turned out to be one of the staff gone rogue.

the best thing to do is a) ignore rep completely or b) wait until gOg improves the system / removes it.

I don't know about you (or GR), but I go for a)

(and personally, I don't have any personal problems with GR either, though we are on very different ends of the political spectrum. his is as allowed to post here as anyone, as long as he is within the forum rules)

I think we'll be all long dead by that point.

GR always seems perfectly civil whenever I've seen his comments. He does like to get into discussions and properly debate. Some people might see that as overbearing because they're not used to responses that question them and make them actually justify their position.
Personally I like it when someone can break a discussion down into proper cogent arguments.

/shrug, it takes all types. as long as people are civil then i don;t see a problem. learn to ignore the people you don't want to engage with. learn when to post "i disagree but don't want to discuss it further" and to step back.

imo there are other people on the forum who are super annoying and nit picky with some really bad opinions that they can't actually back up and who will ignore any evidence presented that undercuts their position. you know the sort - they think that their opinion is a fact. that sort of "conspiracy theory science" form of discussion grinds my gears way more than someone who is civil and actually engaged in the discussion even if our views are opposed.

ofc i've only really been around the forums for maybe a month. i'm not exactly one of the active members so take that as you will.

The guy always acts like a professional victim, when confronted with his own statements, which usually point out the contradictions, sometimes lies, in his statements. You can't blame the whole community for his approach in debates.
