I generally don't like commenting in my own articles because I shouldn't have to explain anything. I also prefer that readers perceive the piece the way they want to. You get what you want out of it.
I just wanted to point out that I do appreciate the feedback. And you're right, to a point, that this is something that could have been done in a thread with one sentence. "I don't play online because I like playing against the CPU and I don't really even have the time to play in online leagues."
This article, however, while written from my perspective is to open commentary on why other gamers have not made that leap. I'm telling you exactly my reasons and even explaining them a bit. Now, it's your turn. Now, you can read this and say, "Wow, I'm not the only one that feels the same exact way. Great to know that there is someone else out there like me when it comes to offline vs. online."
Or maybe you'll say, "Those are not the best of reasons to avoid online. Here's what you can do."
edit:
As for your time argument. I'm not sure if perhaps I wasn't clear enough but I did round out that reasoning by stating I don't want to be that gamer that makes an online league wait. By time, I meant scheduling myself to a dedicated time slot for online gaming. And the only reason someone would be scheduled to play online is to play a game in their online league. I think that makes the point valid while not discrediting the others.

If it was to be used to open commentary, than that is another story completely. I think the commentary aspect should have been mentioned, or made more clear. When I read the article, I though it was just one person writing why they don't play online (without making an argument as to why a person should or should not), but the purpose of the article changes completely when put in a new context (trying to open up dialogue/commentary).
I also apologize if the feedback came off as too negative. I was trying to be helpful.
