Re: RJ113419 - Dungeons and Prisoners
He wasn't being intentionally a dick, just cold. It's really not the morality police to pretend to care for someone when you don't. To be perfectly frank, I don't know a damn thing about ILL or Shoegazer either (i don't even know who we're talking about). Hell, I don't even know or play this game, so I can't say I look forward to it. I don't even know the situation, if there's a sickness or a surgery or something coming. I have no attachment to it.
On the other side of things, Oouser: I don't know what kind of things go on in Latvia. Maybe it's really rough there, I have no clue. However, people do actually care when strangers live or die. It's not an uncommon thing for people to reach out to each other, so there's no need for you to make the assumption that people only care because they want porn.
Like I said above, I don't know a damn thing about ILL. And practically speaking, (all due respect) my life wouldn't change a bit if he didn't show up tomorrow. Like I said, I'm not waiting on the game, so I actually even have less to lose than all of you on both sides of this. However, despite this, I really really hope ILL makes it out ok. Cuz we're talking about another human being. It's a person, and maybe even in the faintest hint of some sort of tribal sense, people DO wish that other people don't die. Live is a horrible thing to just fade out of existence for any reason, especially when it seems the person's loss is an unjust one. No one is claiming that third world countries are not privy to that same emotion. It's just called not being a cunt. I realize you weren't trying to flame the author, but you have to realize that an opinion like that can be disagreed with. No one "riled you up," your response to criticism was at least equally childish, if not more so, than these people, who I'm sure you now look down on as 'naive.' Especially when, in the same regard, you are being naive to cultural psychology. Caring for a stranger is not an uncommon trait, so don't act like they're at some sort of fault here, when they're clearly not.
I'd like all conversation about this to be dropped. If you wish to respond to the situation, you can send regards to ILL or complaints to me through PM's.
