It seems as if there wasn't more to tell, atm.

To evaluate the intelligence of the poster of the presentation by it is very daring, as some replyers took this post as witty, funny even hilarious.

Regarding to the post before your last:

So just give them some time to prove it, i'd say.
I've just read a brilliant quote from a forum member in another thread, by a certain Albert Einstein, who said "You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother".

Here's how I would explain it to my grandma: "Grandma, the whole Luthier last post thing is like making a joke in a place where it's totally uncalled for, like, I dunno, a joke on concentration camps during a Jewish funeral?"

You really need a life, comparing a development update with a holocaust joke is a good indicator for "girlfriend urgently required".

The question is simply one of personality, being the "glass is half full or glass is half empty" type of person. Did you follow IL2? Then you know it's going to be fixed. The way updates in a forum are handled are as important to this process as a dancing mechanic is to fixing a car. It's nice, it's a bonus, ppl feel better but when it comes to fixing the product, it's totally redundant.
Lot's of prima donnas here, though, prefering style over substance.

Aaaargh! *facepalm* Beowolf, it was an example of an out of place joke, don't take it literally. Got a girlfriend btw, don't see the relation with needing a life, a girlfriend and the explanation of a joke out of place situation.

Great, if you expect other people to know what you mean, then you wont't have any problems to understand how other people mean it as well.

"Out of place" jokes, btw, are a very subjective matter. For me this update was great fun and carried more of a message in it then others obviously were able to recognize. And it certainly has much more character in it then a clinical update with points to be fixed and release dates included.

I suppose how you take it is a matter of character. Being the "glass is half full or half empty" kind of person. Do not expect to be able to push the "glass is half empty" attitude onto others just so.

the point is that what Luthier has posted here was no update, but yet another stunt to stir the arguments and gain time.

I'm not trying to change anyone's mind, because I believe that everyone is free to express their opinion, but I'm not standing for people being disrespectful of my opinion, showing an arrogance that is in line with the devs at the moment.

..still didn't get what you were talking about re. needing a girlfriend and getting a life though..

I simply go by Einstein "Stupidity is doing the same thing again and again and still expecting a different result". If you consider that arrogance, so be it.

And if you want to have a more elaborate explaination in regards to getting a life, then consider spending valuable life time on spamming a forum for nothing but a development update and your subjective understanding of what such an update should include.

I am just defending what I believe in and answering people who have questions and opinions different than mine, in a polite and respectful manner, without offending them, unlike you.

How's that for arrogance?

I think your arrogance lies in the assumption that your interpretation of Luthiers post is the only true one.

It isn't, it works only for you in private, not in the public!

I keep on repeating is my opinion, which is driven by common sense, and again, apparently the idea of having regular and effective updates is the will of the majority here, you are the minority.
