    Go **** yourself.

    Now look, I know that's gonna really upset you because I've seen you around here and your super sensitive about things; just remember to remind yourself that you ARE a big boy.
    Last week it was cognitive dissonance and this week it’s straw man. Common theme is that you don’t know what either is.

    Frankly and to be honest, my response was to the OP and not you but you decided to respond or rebut and that is your prerogative to do seeing as how this is a public forum.

    I already do that, sometimes even with the left hand, you know, to confuse the enemy.

    You are correct, I am super sensitive with what Ubi has done to Franchises I have loved since inception, being Far Cry, Rainbow Six (these two are already lost to me) and Ghost Recon (on the verge to be lost as well but not sensitive because i am not a smart consumer.

    But again, do not take it personally, we have all been taken for a ride at one point in our lives, then again, that is the only way that we learn, from our mistakes.

    Now, let me apologize, my intention was not to insult you or be petty.

    Rational. Accepted, and I apologize for my abrasiveness.

    Gascan, I wasn't wrong about cognitive dissonance and I'm not wrong about strawmen arguments. The echo chamber might say otherwise; they're dumb and/or lying. Don't be a follower. If you want to link to the thread that proves me right, like that other guy did, please do.

    "Cognitive dissonance" says the guy who brought Breakpoint and persuaded his friend to on the basis of Wildlands .. but somehow managed to ignore the Breakpoint beta, and the multitude of game press and Youtube reviews about it.

    See, that is an incorrect application of the concept, and a blatant show of ignorance. You didn't answer last time I asked; when's your next flight to Paris?

    Nah, I just forced myself to grasp and understand what it is so that I don't fall victim to it as easily as you and your buddies do. Words can be lessons on their own. Knowing what a straw man argument is and what argumentum ad hominem is will make you a better debater. Another great lesson is the word sonder. Vsauce guy taught me that one; though I always knew, just didn't know there was a word for it. I hope these lessons make you a better person, whether you have the maturity to give me credit or not.
