Cyclops bites the dust... again?

Tropico, you're either looking for something to jump on, or you're an idiot. Read that post again, and you'll see that the entirely thing is purely written as an opinion piece. If you see any statistics or me stating anything there as a fact, go ahead and continue on your ill-intentioned crusade.

Edit: Damn, I even put the words "I think" in there. What is your deal?

I was talking about your broad generalization about the paladin archetype, not about Cyke. If there's a misunderstanding I'm reasonable enough to be able to discuss it. Calling 2 posts a crusade seems a little extreme. And ill-intentioned when I wasn't the one calling other people rabble rousers or idiots? Ok, man, whatever you say.

If I misunderstood that in your last sentence you're stating that paladins are boring, then I apologize. I'd only be guilty of misunderstanding you or telling you that I disagree with your opinions, but still, I'm sorry. THAT'S my deal, clear?

Ahh, I see. You're a spin-doctor, are you?

Kotagg, just because you don't find the appeal of a paladin doesn't mean that the character type is boring or un-interesting by default.

This sentence explicitly states that you think I'm trying to state my opinions as fact, which I make sure I do not do. I don't like it when people do that.

Then, you repost a sentence of mine out of the context of the post it originated from, in order to make it seem as if I'm pontificating when in fact I'm not. Can a guy share his opinion without someone getting on him because they think he's trying to force his opinion as fact?

My "broad generalization" of the Paladin archetype is something that is rooted in my own opinions of said archetype. *I* think it's boring. *I* think it's something that is somewhat necessary in most stories, as it provides a good antithesis to any other characters that prove to be more interesting simply because they're NOT the Paladin character.

You didn't misunderstand me saying Paladins are boring, because *I* believe they are.

Yeah. I'll even apologize for the insults toward you, but you're seriously coming across as someone looking for something out of nothing, and disrupting the conversation that we had going in which we were sharing our OPINIONS.

Ok, dude! Take it easy, I DID take it as you stating the palading thing as a fact. I misunderstood you, I apologized. Thank you for explaining your way of seeing things, I didn't know them. I shared MY opinion on the shift they did to Cyke's 'tude after they separated him from Apocalypse and then blundered in a comment about your previous opinion. Again, sorry!

Since I'm a spinster (according to you): I didn't disrupt anything since I made a post that was on topic, Corp and Vanguard07 even gave their feedback on that moment in Cyke's history. *And then since I'm this sleazy spinster guy...* If you're going to get offended for people commenting and disagreeing with your opinions then you're in the wrong place. *sly*

BTW, I'm just messing with ya in the previous paragraph. Peace, please!

I didn't get annoyed that you disagree with me; I got annoyed that you made it seem as if I was being an overbearing jerk with my opinions.

*Takes a deep breath*

Okay, it's all good. Forums aren't the best medium anyway, so I understand your misinterpretation. Apologies.
