People on this ML and those who frequent the IRC channel, what you have to understand is that every person have a different opinion. Some share the same opinions, others don't. Some people stands very strongely on their opinions while others are more easily changed by other people's opinions. Obviously, all those rage in the past week or so are caused by two groups of people in the extremes of opinions, both standing strongely on their beliefs, trying to change the other groups' opinion. Not a pretty scenario, no? What you people need to try to do, is to place yourself in the place of the opposite group and think carefully about *their* situation and try to see where their point of view is coming from, instead of resorting to calling others fanboys or otakus or anti-XX, simply because you don't like what the others are trying to say. Remember, their opinions are as valid as yours. Some people take their gaming/other hobbies very seriously, while others don't and sees it as a past time, there's no need to get furious because others don't share the same point of view. Face it, if everyone had the same opinions and taste, the world would be a very dull place. I won't even try to portary myself as being subjective on this matter, (as a matter of fact, I consider myself a bit of a purist, and would prefer the game subbed) I think everyone should just stop arguing on this matter and just let it go, it's never going to end, this is not like science or maths where we can place things more clearly as "right" or "wrong", or "good" or "bad", it's about different preferences and views, just accept it and get on with life. And that's all I have to say on this matter. Later Chou
