    Infraction for criticizing an ARTICLE!?

    I was given a 1 point infraction for insulting an ARTICLE.

    I didn't use personal attacks, I didn't insult the writer in anyway.

    I called into question the credibility of an article that applauds EA's participation in the forum in defense of a SEVERELY flawed game.

    While insulting other members is not approved, and I realize this, we are now NOT allowed to call the credibility of an article in to question?

    Trust me, the quickest way to lose credibility is to run a totalitarian forum.

    Explain to me how this comment is not insulting the writer(s) of the article. Explain how this comment is calling into question the credibility of the article.
    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

      Apparently you would rather have them run off and never show up again? Which is it?

        Hardly a well thought out question of credibility. You can say anything you want to anyone about anything, if you know how to say it.

                    Seriously though, I agree, I don't think that was directed at you countryboy.

                              Well your original quote deserved a warning or infraction.
