lol, this is awesome. Evil prejudice is running rampant on the internet! The WoW sensitivity police are to the rescue!

Why make this discussion. Hmm. I am thinking that you'd know why I am here if you'd actually opened your eyes to continue reading, my friend.

To stop the incessant, childish bickering that has gripped these two sites, that's why I am here! I have nearly succeeded in such.

Again, why do you care about some bickering that should have never begun in the first place? For anyone to get upset over this thread was ridiculous in the first place. So what are you accomplishing by escalating it?

Read a little deeper. I'm not sure what is causing you to overlook this, but I clearly state that I am relieved and thankful that he does not hold vendettas against abstract ideas such as online gaming because that is very irrational and the fact that he does not hold such ridiculous grudges means I have "more room to work with".

Uhh, yeah, I “overlooked” that. Sure.

An oversensitive response to this thread is stupid on your part. The fact that you actually believe HotRod might be irrational just shows how silly you’re making this entire issue. Who cares if he’s irrational? Can’t someone be irrational about a game if they want to be? Must everything in this world be boring and serious?

Your post also makes two things clear:

1) You disrespect me by neglecting to read the discussion in its full. You begin spouting off about how I should admit that I am nerdy and that listening to WoW Radio (the little bit I do) is nerdy. Problem is, I've already done so. Almost everyone in this thread had vouched for their own nerdom. So, the onus is on you: why are you still talking about it?

2) The second fact you missed. WoW Radio's subjects. Best armor, best spec for rogues? I am not aware that WoW Radio is so simple. The programs I tune into it, few though they may be, are not. For examples of topics I enjoyed listening to, please read the rest of my posts, as I listed some. You clearly have not read my posts in their entirety, as #1 attests to.

Your jab at Blizzard's "uninspired" stories also has no place in your post. (I'm sensing some sort of Warhammer Fantasy fanboy uprising incoming, but I could be wrong) Are you trying to get a rise out of me? You'll be sorely disappointed, as you're entitled to whatever opinion you may like on Blizzard's storylines. I enjoy them immensely. I love the rich backstory and lore they have created, as do millions. What you think of them is irrelevent both to me and to the topic at hand.

Most insulting is how you act like I claimed it wasn't nerdy. That is simply totally untrue and it just proves how little of my posts you've actually read. *sigh* Please go back, read them, and then return and you can hopefully make more informed posts.

1) I read your posts in full. You were defending the other WoW poster in this thread and he’s the one who’s acting strange because someone doesn’t happen to place as much value to WoW as he does. WoW is just a game.

(If you want to start pointing fingers, you obviously are not carefully considering what I was stating. Instead, you’re reacting in a very defensive and overly sensitive way, which makes me wonder why you’re so insecure.)

2) I read what you said (and I mentioned the lore in the game [but you don’t need to read what I say, correct?]), but I also know that WoW-radio has what I described as well. Are you saying that it never dwells on those subjects?

As for Warhammer, that is a cool tabletop game series, and you can tell that the people at Blizzard are fans of it, but as far as I’m concerned, Warhammer is often very generic and uninspiring as well. There have been fantasy stories around for years that use most of these concepts before they were placed into games. Blizzard added in some originality, but they don’t bother hiding what they steal because it’s just a game. I don’t see why this factual observation on my part was trying to “get a rise” from you, but perhaps you can enlighten me. The “lore” behind the WarCraft universe is meant for fun, not aesthetic achievement.

And I already knew that you admitted being nerdy, but your actions begged my additional questions. You and the person you’re defending are taking this way too seriously. If you realize that you’re a nerd, then you should be able to shrug all of this off. Instead you’re getting more worked up as time goes by.

As a nerd with many nerdy interests, I’d probably laugh if I saw someone attacking my obsessions. The criticisms would probably be true in many respects.

I’m not even trying to “insult” you here. I’m just wondering why you’re all so thin skinned. Why do you need to discuss this and smooth everything out? It seems like a silly subject to me.

Oh well, hopefully your next post will be more “informed,” Alekseyev.
