Yes need for PMs. Or all off-topic posts disappear.
This thread is for asking questions on the update information. It's not about playing civil prosecutor and defence attorney for the dev team.
Phat politely asked you guys to create a new thread for this discussion or use the available forum features (like PMs) to discuss it among yourselves. He didn't say you can't discuss it, he just pointed out that it's better to discuss it in its own, dedicated venue. The guy asks something in a very acceptable, non-offending manner and you keep going at it, just blatantly ignoring him.
Maybe i'm being a bit blunt here, but i'll be honest with you all. I'm human like everyone else and some things annoy me. Out of all these things there's nothing that grinds my gears like good old fashioned, in-your-face, lack of conversation manners and a modicum of the least possible respect that should be mutually afforded when dealing with another person.
If you guys can claim human nature to excuse repeated off-topic posts and lack of self-control, i can do the same to excuse my itchy trigger finger that's hovering over the infraction button as we speak. We're all equal here and it's part of my (unpaid and volunteer) job to make sure that everybody understands it and acts accordingly. Incidentally, that is the only reason i'm wasting my time writing this diatribe instead of immediately clicking through the screens leading to a ban: i prefer that people know what is acceptable and what is not in this forum, so they can make their own decisions about getting banned or not.
Discuss whatever you want but please, for the love of God, take it to the appropriate section and thread, so that people can see the headline and decide if they are interested or not. People doing their best to vent in the threads with the most views, it's something that amounts to strapping everyone down into a chair and screaming "you WILL listen to me". It's too clockwork orange, don't you think?
If some people don't want to go through the topics you bring up, they should have that choice just like you have the choice of discussing them: one topic per thread, in the appropriate section. Might be broad or narrow, but it's one, for reasons of readability.
You know i can rearrange the offending posts whichever way and the fastest one is to simply bin them. Please save me some time, display some respect for your fellow forums users and do it yourselves, and they stand a good chance of remaining posted. You have all necessary means at your disposal and no excuse not to, so complaints to the tune of "my freedom of speech" won't fly if you keep this up and offending posts start disappearing. Our freedom of speech stops where the other guy's starts. Having each and every thread dominated by the same people arguing about the same topics is not respecting that boundary and then i have to be all mean and stuff. 
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
