So now replying is 'stalking'.

The fact that you aren't banned is 100% proof tat dang is a completely gutless and worthless moderator.

You probably thought you were cover, but if you were at all honest or smart you'd know that I wasn't trying to rebuke all claims of flaws. Hell, I didn't try to rebuke any such flaws. I didn't even deny them.

I was just pointing out that in the marketplace of societal organizational schemes, the nation-state has been winning for a long time now. You have your excuses as to why, but many competitors have been tried, and they're nearly all total failures.

Also, only a truly nutty religious zealot would claim that any system is flawless. That's the sort of shit that nut jobs like you say about your religion. It's not the sort of argument that any sane person makes about anything. The rest of us live in a world where we don't have all the answers; you're the only one in this conversation who thinks he knows absolutely everything, and who thinks he has the right to demand that I can't live in the society I prefer.

Thank you for being a truly cartoonish individual. You never stop making me laugh, you hilarious little asshole.

edit: also, LOL at how fast you responded. you really, really need a life.

edit2: seriously. you're fucking HILARIOUS. such a joke.

Game journalism is traditionally very weak, with journalists routinely feeling beholden to game manufacturers who use both positive reinforcement (expanded access to demos, invitations to special events, access to interview subjects, exclusive prerelease info) and negative reinforcement (especially the withdrawal of previously described perks) to coerce games journalists into providing very favorable reviews.

Only a very small minority of games journalists are truly unbiased, as the vast majority depend on access granted voluntarily by publishers to get the info that drives the traffic they need to make a living. They're often little more than an extension of game publishers PR departments.

Unfortunately it's very hard to solve this problem, as there's no way to force a publisher to share helpful access to critical reviewers.

Also, one time a game publisher had sex with people in the game industry which proves that all women are whores.

Oh man, I was so close.

Doen't Libertarian dogma demand that institutions can't win for extended periods of time unless they're the best solution?

What's changed that made government ideal for hundreds of years and suddenly isn't ideal now that your upper-middle-class sheltered white privilege has decided that your life would be slightly easier if you paid less tax?

Got it.

Thanks for confirming that you're an asshole who is happy to subject thousands of people to valueless bullshit because you require the last word.

If dang had balls, you'd be banned for that shit. But he lacks balls when it comes to idiots like you, Dan.
