Could you explain what does this favorite meme thing of your "shouting down" in your language means? That someone is quoting yours or someone elses post and doesn't agree? Am I shouting you down now? if not....
Cannot see any exclamation marks from Ash in that #3 post... or shouting emojis.
Am I shouting you down now?
Just curious.
Alex Afrasiabi, the (thankfully ) former creative lead on world of warcraft, was famously quoted saying "no negativity in the dojo", which people took to mean he wanted positive discussion.
Hindsight has shown that he conflated negativity and criticism. He made some very weird choices while in his position, and he wasn't interested in counterarguments.
Dave is conflating criticism with attacks. Its a surefire way to shut down any and all honest debate and he knows it. He had a dumb take, he got called on it, and now he's saying the people who called him on it are shouting him down.
