Ignore the "patch" thread

[bongodriver]

The other, Foobar, seems to have used an old patch thread to voice his displeasure about how unbelievably long the wait for the patch has been, without realising that the natural effect for many would be to assume that the patch was out.

Quite, who could have realised that posting in an old thread would have moved it to the top of the list, it's not like patch threads have been bumped before......were just lucky to have some brand new members who know how to start brand new threads to voice their displeasure.

yeah, funny 'bout that


anyways, the mods have acted as they saw correct and any discussion really is only waffle and wash up.

Are we any luckier to have two old members ready to assume guilt in the face of doubt?

Again, this is not about knowing it will bump the thread to the top of the list. This is about how reasonable foreseeable it is that people would actually mistake the thread for the new patch and download and install it (not having done their due diligence of course). Particularly as that poster didn't make the same mistake.

Then why point it out? Don't participate if you feel that way. I don't feel I am 'waffling'.

Besides, the mods acted only in the case of Foobar.

well, on the 'net, as we all know, anyone can be anything they want or say anything they... and some people can be very deceiving, whilst others who seem convinced can be sucked right in. (identifying deception is very difficult without physical eye to eye contact)

Lucky I have you, a much vaunted member of the community to help me out. Your ignorance, trolling record and thinly veiled contempt notwithstanding of course.

The fact stands. Pencon contacted me by PM in confusion, and I do not believe he acted to intentionally mislead. You have even less to judge deceit on.

Absolutely true. Well said. I couldn't have put it any better myself.

So what would be your opinion on judging deception without the full information?

Ultimately your overly positive endorsement says only one thing, and that is that you believe Wolf Riders judgment of deception in this case is better than mine.

What you avoid addressing by that, of course, is how you can possibly know that. And since, of course, you cannot know it, you are merely saying that Wolf Rider's opinion matches your own and avoiding any talk of justification.

If you are going to imply you know better than I do whether pencon is lying, you might as well say so and say why.
