From your last line I'm going to assume you didn't read my original post, nor grasped what I was even saying...
This is like the encyclopedia of how to wage an argument on the internet. Cliche #1, claim anyone who disagrees with you is wrong. Cliche #2, any point you can't answer, respond with 'read my post'.
If i hadn't read your post I wouldn't have actually been able to structure a response, by definition. Kindly stop resorting to tired old cliches and either answer the point I put before you or don't bother posting.
I only implied to one specific person that maybe he shouldn't be in control of his own finances, and it was more a joke than anything else.
Ironically, I wasn't even talking about this. My point that you appear to believe that people are not qulaified to judge what to buy stems from the fact that you're raving and screaming about getting ripped off about something that is ultimately up to the customer on whether to purchase costs cash. If you don't want it, don't buy it, and be done with it. Going on and on about sports teams and scams and all the rest of these straws just makes it look like you're not satisfied that you may choose to not to purchase, you seem to demand everyone else follow suit.
I mean, what business of it is yours what I do with my cash?
I've told 2 seperate people they have made valid points, and I have stated my own reasoning...
You say this as if you're holding a get-out-of-jail free card. Going back to your point about reading posts, do you recall me mentioning these other gentlemen, regarding your point? No? That's because they have nothing to do with your actual post which I was answering. You know, the one I quoted. It seems I read your post better than you did.
But my original post was not telling people how to spend their money... If that's what you or others took out of that post, then I don't know what to say to you.
That much is clear.
But I'm going to have to assume you take anyone disagreeing with somethign you want to love(Bioware, the DLC, puppies) as insulting you personally, if that is the case then we're on totally different wavelengths.
You're right, we are on totally different wavelengths. Somehow you've managed to take my point that complaining about something that you are under no obligation to buy is on par with trying to fry eggs on a block of ice in terms of pointlessness as some sort of hysterical defence of bioware - straight after I pointed out that I'll only buy these things if *I* see fit, irrespective of supporting bioware, nonetheless.

]Will you people stop comparing FOOD to the price of DLC.
That's just wrong on so many levels.
You're comparing somethign that sustains your VERY LIFE... To a video game.
Justifying something you HAVE TO HAVE TO LIVE.
To somethign that adds 30mns of E-pleasure(in my case, was more a E-Letdown).
That's
the 6th person in 3 different threads I've read comparing food too the
DLC, it's quite disturbing, and doesn't say much for mankind in general
anymore.
I've even seen the comparison: "Oh I can just not eat lunch one day and buy WK".
REALLY???
Maybe DLC costing money isn't this game's fanbases' biggest problem.
Oh good lord, put the righteousness away. If you're honestly claiming that you need subway sandwiches to survive then you have my sympathy, but not my agreement. I'm a fan of Italian BMTs as much as the next guy, but trying to convert the point into some sort of epic attack on the youth of today needs to be in a blog about the ills of the world, not here.
The meaning of the point is clear. £5 is not such a massive expenditure that to charge such represents a grave threat to my human rights or whatever. The point is it's the kind of change I'd blow on something given 5 minutes thought.
