In what sense must there be an "emotional connection/response" in order to call someone an idiot? Can you not call someone an idiot simply for the basic reason that he/she **IS** an idiot?

I call things as they are. If it's good, then it's good. I have no problem admitting that to be the case for DCS A-10C. If it's bad, then it's bad. If ED keeps making idiotic decisions and excuses, then that is what they are.

"Hating with a passion?" Where'd you get that one??

Er, no. It's a question of YOU understanding views different from your own. That's why we keep going 'round and 'round in circles, because you keep running 'round and 'round in circles.

We have indeed seen your views, but they do not stack up against the evidence we see in reality from ED. Like your "take a break" example. It works with other companies and other scenarios, but not with ED, therefore, you are wrong on that front. Can YOU not see that?

I simply suggest that getting so passionate, about something so trivial, might be a concern...

Since when is being passionate about something a "concern"? And even if it was, this is not what the thread is talking about, yet you keep shifting the discussion to you being "concerned" that some members are too passionate about the hobby.

Let me give you something to think about though --- do you think the products we enjoy today are a result of "meh!" thinking? How many of the advancements we have were out of intense passion for a particular field of study? People who are concerned about small things may very well be concerned about bigger things as well.

If you don't "get it," think it's over the top, or don't agree with it, fine. If you have no passion to go against those that do, then do not complain about them having too much passion.

Haha! "Crying and compaining" is what you're calling it now? Clearly YOU have not understood the discussion and the "evidences" and reasoning put forward.
