Hi,
First, I wasn't newbie bashing. I was bad idea bashing. I have no idea who is and who isn't a newbie with all the new accounts. Besides, I *never* newbie bash. Good ideas from a newbie get my respect. Stupid ideas from a reg get my scorn. Those with the intelligence to see and observe know this.
Second, while I didn't make a big point of it, the answer to "Also, why post this in the Lounge? It is related to Diablo... Though not Diablo 2" is pretty simple. Look at the description of Atma's Tavern: "General Diablo II discussion forum - anything not covered by the other Diablo II forums goes here." and of The Lounge: "The general discussion off-topic forum. Anything not related to the games covered on the Lurker Lounge belongs here.". Now, since both you and jondifool agree that this topic is not supposed to be about D 2, then what other excuses besides stupidity or illiteracy can he give for it being here? And what other excuses can you give for defending that it is here?
Now, to your other points:
For example, Pete said how stupid an idea "improving " melee damage is, because he assumed that "improve" means "make more powerful"
My response was "Do you actually play the game? Do you have any knowledge of how the game works? Because your suggestions seem to have been implemented. Strength of melee as opposed to ranged? For what class and build? Damage based on blunts, etc. Already in to some extent. Could it be better? Yes. But nothing new in your suggestion."
Where in there do you see "make more powerful"? Is it that you could not read and understand what I said? Or did you lie deliberately just to pick a fight? Either way, why should I cut you any slack?
As to the "Also, Pete, he didn't mean that all info found in the Arreat summit would be instaltny availabe in game, he meant, and blizz also thought up this idea, that this info would be DISCOVERED!" my short answer, which intelligent people could figure out, was a brief way of saying,
"Why the hell put all that crap into the game when (1) Buzzard has almost always given wrong information (the Lying Character Screen of both D1 and D2, the useless guides) so you wouldn't be able to trust it anyway and (2) shortly after the game comes out, people will figure out the truth and post it somewhere. Thus, you'll always need to get out of the game to get any information worth a damned anyway."
It's just another case of not bothering to go into detail. Those that can understand will, those that can't won't get it if I wrote a volume.
So, my final word to you: Disagree with people all you want, but if you lack the ability to understand their ideas, then your replies to those ideas are totally worthless.
Oh, and BTW, get a spell checker.
