@ hedgie my only love:
Also, that isn't hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is accusing people of being arrogant and calling it "bad", while being arrogant yourself. heh. Or telling people to take whatever criticism comes your way like a grown-up and then you don't take criticism well at all either. heh.
Yeah, well, I've been waiting for your habitual dose of odium, actually. It's plain in this case you would have sided with Zen even if he were advocating paedophilia. Also, following your logic (don't criticize arrogant people, since you are arrogant yourself), you, being an epitome of snobbery, have no right even to come near this topic. Why don't you go play some more DoW, eh, hedgie?
@ doggu the intellectual:
Sigh. They are not meant to be taken literally, or even as a political statement necessarily just as a warning as to how the world might go if we don't keep our eyes open. Apart from that they are a good read.
Wrong. Orwell's novels are a political statement, unless you read them out of their historical context. Do some research yourself. I don't think they are a good read, either, but that's a matter of taste. Perhaps some people like preachy and boring books.
Anyway, why do you repeatedly boast about your intelligence on a gaming forum? If you don't think others are at your level of intelligence here I suggest you go do a PhD, submit your data/opinions to peer reviewed journals and then let them judge you. Perhaps you will gain some perspective and stop feeling the need to belittle others.
Erm... I have finished my doctoral dissertation 4 years ago. Have half a dozen articles published, too.
