you managed to avoid any direct insults, however the overall tone of your reply showed arrogance and tried to make people (myself including) feeling themselves stupid for expressing their views and feelings regarding a subject on which you don't agree.
i'm sorry to step in here, but this is getting ridiculous now (as most of these FM related threads tend to end up in this community, over all the years and across all the various sites)
i fail to see any of this arrogance you mention - again, this seems to be an issue of 'feelings' and i'm afraid when i look at the words written here, and the 'feeling' you have of being made to 'feel stupid' just don't correlate at all.
you were the one who mentioned historical graphs in this thread, Nesher - and it's logical that, unless you offer info on
exactly which graphs you refer to (we have access to many official charts, so it's always interesting for us to see how they compare), then there's no point at all in even mentioning them.
if you want to talk official stats, then show them - if you want to talk feelings, then keep it at that. you can't have it both ways.
i fully understand why Storebror takes a hard stand with these sort of threads, as they generally end up in exactly the sort of mess you are now turning it into.
now the focus is suddenly not on the FM's, it's all aimed at some 'perceived' arrogance.
this is even frustrating for me, to see yet another of this sort of thread ending up with someone feeling as if they have somehow been wronged.
i feel insulted when someone new to the site comes along and starts calling CUP an arcade game, but i know that is just my feeling, and do not interpret it as a personal insult. for that reason, even though i disagree completely with the OP, he is of course free to say his say.
but when someone starts feeling personally insulted, when there is no evidence of this...well...
it's absolute rubbish, and if this thread continues in the same vein, i am going to pull it completely.
unfortunately, pretty much the same way most of this sort of thread ends up - in the dump.
NOT because we don't want to discuss this stuff, but because most people seem to have different perceptions of things when it comes to 'feelings'
and this is a prime reason why Storebror called you on the graphs you mention, NOT to make you feel insulted, but because once we see true graphs, then the feelings (everybody's) can take a back seat and let the facts do the talking.
so, either everyone calms down and start talking sense in this thread, or i simply pull the plug on it.
