I see people constantly writing this on OS when they are disappointed with something. It's ridiculous imo. Kids dying of cancer is utterly sad. People dying in a war is utterly sad. People saying bad things about a game you like is not utterly sad. I do find it funny that guys like to call out OS as going downhill and contribute to the very problem itself by throwing gas on the fire. You get long time posters, who do have a sense of entitlement, complaining about the state of OS and yet they talk down to new posters constantly and aren't respectful of other people's opinions either. This is a message board! If people want to vent, so be it. If you don't like how they vent I guess you are entitled to complain about that. But if you aren't a mod, take the holier than thou attitude someplace else. That's what has annoyed me about the Show forums for awhile and is really the burr up some peoples' butts. I understand the need to self police threads but it goes overboard here. If you are really upset about terrible posts then flag them and have a mod handle it. Lastly and most importantly, I'm glad Russell is OK.

First and foremost, I don't have a holier than thou attitude. Where did I say that people shouldn't vent their frustrations? Its the demands, the "I spent $60....) arguments that caused me to write what I did. There's nothing wrong with venting frustrations, nothing wrong with asking questions, but lets be honest, some of the comments in this thread alone, along with the rest of the forum have been anything but cordial and respectful in nature.

And next time, please don't take my comments on a message board to an extreme they don't need to go. Taking what I said and putting it into the context you did, isn't necessary. You could've easily brought about your argument without referencing the things you did to try and drive home a point.

I find people throw gas on the fire and cause more problems than the original post created. I also find it funny that BK can criticize people for this and yet is the most argumentative poster on OS.

so we should ignore dumb posts but then go behind the back and call said poster out? Wow

Here's an idea, discuss the patch. Why you are all bickering back and forth, I have no idea.

Ends now.

Furthermore, there's an ignore feature for a reason. If you don't want to read certain posters opinions, ignore them, problem solved.

Russell...glad to hear you're ok man.

Take care.

I mean some of the arguments here about not being vocal when the game is obviously flawed, are mind boggling. no wonder we have very little power as consumers any longer. hell, we buy cars from other countries that still understand how the game is played, because we obviously dont in this country. "the game is good", so ****ing what. Its also broken. For me, not having an accurate schedule for my team, equals broken. Just as crashes and lineups. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops, unless advertised.

I'm glad you made this post.

Why? Because a large portion of you fail to realize that this is not the support forum for all issues MLB09:The Show.

There's a few developers here openly discussing their game on a 3rd party forum littered with a bunch of gamers, young and old, who love sports. Everyone here wants an answer to most of the questions posed, but in no way do you deserve an answer here at OS. Never.

If you have an issue with the way a company is handling something, take it up with the company.

I'd hate to lose the developer's presence because somehow a place where they used to hang out and talk about a game a large majority of us enjoy playing became a venue for consumer backlash when they felt they had been wronged.

[ExtremeGamer]

Seriously, can we PLEASE just discuss the patch. No more bickering, complaining about other posters, etc.

That's not what this thread is for.

If this continues, infractions will be handed out, I don't care which side you are on.

You guys are right. I didn't help the cause or my own logic. For that I apologize. And CB, the second half of my long post was not directed solely at you - it was more of a general statement. I should have been more clear. And yes, my comparison was extreme but that's all that's happening around here right now. People are frustrated and blowing things out of proportion and that includes me. It's time to step away for a bit.

I keep seeing this complaint. People, Tejada has 85 at bats this season. 41 of them are hitting 2nd. Know your facts before you complain.
