The highlighted portion is the only point I can't agree with. I think the reason people get frustrated with over the top angry people is because you DO NOT have to pay for anything. Given Madden's track record on next gen systems, I played 08 for awhile and read multiple user and "professional" reviews before I spent my money. I was fortunate not to run into some of the freezing/player disappearing things by the time I actually purchased the game (at a discount). Shop smart...just my opinion

I also think that strong reactions to posts are so prevalent because it can be difficult to condense a full thought into a few words and most people don't want to read or write a book to get their points across...making it impossible to interpret intent sometimes. ...That's the "Great Forum Theory" from your friendly Sox Fan...lol

I agree,but there's ways of getting your point across without resorting to name calling.
To me it shows immaturity,that the only way known is to call somebody names......hell,that's grade school garbage.

LOL....I just thought about that...I'm done.

If we are going to resort to Name calling...I can close this up right now. If you want to continue this thread with Civilized debate and communication, then it will stay open.

Drop the attitudes and name calling, c'mom guy's!

1. it's a game
2. We are adults
3. These are just peoples opinions ( express them and except in a civil manner )

Precious memories.

You guys take this stuff way, way too seriously.

Before responding to the above as civilly as possible, I wish to apologize to anyone who felt that my previous response was out-of-bounds. I do not have any problem with people who disagree with anything I have written - until such time as the disagreement is not based in fact or difference of opinion, but instead swerves into unsubstantiated personal attacks. I ordinarily do not respond at all to such threads - and will henceforth resume that stance upon completion of this reply. However, if you are among those who did find offense in the earlier comments, I humbly apologize for darkening your day.

1) Reporting impressions and reviews does NOT give free license to anyone to then turn around and reference such an act as that of "pimping"...call it wrong, dispute its conclusions, offer examples that invalidate its claims or thoughts, but don't just accuse the writer of ulterior motives in pejorative terms.

Standards of decency do not stop the minute someone is identified as any particular role, whether that role be producer, publisher, moderator or community leader.

2) Making excessively verbose posts and lengthy comments is what I DO! I have done nothing in the past if not show a propensity for sitting down at a keyboard and digitally vomiting out 1000 word opuses that most people stop reading by the 3rd paragraph. I have been doing it for years, so to consider today's post an anomaly, or evidence of me being bent out of shape is also a touch disingenuous. Its just the same as what I always have done with a couple of potentially poorly chosen words...for which I withdraw any malice as being poorly thought out and sent without regard to the way they would be perceived.

3) Yes, Pared WAS off-base with his initial comments - and while that alone does not excuse my response or choice of words in said response- it also does not make him any closer to right or on-target in his comments in the first place. Simply stated, I find it wrong to be referred to or referenced as a "pimp" and if you do not then we simply disagree on civil discourse.

Anything else from me would be counterproductive anyway, so I will not prolong this further...again, for those who found my earlier post offensive or overly reliant on poorly chosen words, I do apologize for that aspect of it.

Moos, I actually think this is one of the shortest posts you have ever written .... lol
