You misunderstood what I said. You said you only cared about vindication. My point is, despite you saying you have been right about many things, you haven't been vindicated on anything you claim to be right about at this point. So there is no reason to believe that you will be vindicated in the end either.
No, I didn't misunderstand anything. You're the one going around in circles. What I said was pretty clear. Here, let me quote it for you.
I care about one single thing: vindication (because I know with 100% certainty, that I am right about my assessment) for having been dragged into a shit-storm in which a group of people, mad over a fucking video game, have taken upon themselves to engage in targeted harassment of me, my team, my family, my games etc. All because I wrote a blog.
Really it is on you to actually prove the things you say, which thus far you have not. It is on you that I don't believe you, that is your problem.
I don't need to convince myself to not believe you, you are the one that is failing to convince me or any other person like me who uses critical thinking while looking at real evidence.
Again, that circular logic doesn't work on people like me. I don't have to prove anything, to anyone. That's not how that works. And the fact that you think that you not believe me - something which I already said is irrelevant to me - is somehow my problem, just goes to show how hubris and arrogance have no place in meaningful discourse. Even if I was official media, or you were a subscriber (free or paid), the onus won't be on me. No, it would be on you because that's how it actually works. There is a reason why Alex Jones, Rush Limbough and all those ass-clowns at Fox News get paychecks. And that reason ties into why rags like The Enquirer are still in business. Again, you have no clue what you're talking about.
But you actually do seem to care about trying to convince people, which is why you spend so much time on Twitter, blogs, ect trying to convince people that everything is a scam. I am not here to convince anybody here of anything, cause I already know that everybody here, with a few exceptions, are full of people that are already believing you.
You sure do seem to get overly emotional over someone saying they simply do not believe you, I don't see any reason for doing such things.
So, according to you, someone posting their opinions and missives on social media, on their time, as they see fit, is somehow them trying to convince people of something? Are you high? Do you even know how that sounds?
Here is an example. And since, according to you, your brain processes things differently, back in April 2016, I wrote a blog,
Star Citizen - Extinction Level Event, which was the ground zero for my saying that the project had entered an irrecoverable E.L.E. In that blog,
Here is just one quote from it:
You could start with the ever-changing ToS which, effective May 31st, 2016 from their inability to deliver as promised, requires them to provide not only refunds, but also a financial accounting of how the money raised from backers, has been spent. They’re unlikely to do it. And there is a reason that they shifted that date from 12 months (expired Nov 30th, 2015) to 18 months (expires May 31st 2016).
They
changed the ToS in June 2016.
So, as example of one of many things that I have been right about, was that me trying to convince people of anything, or just me putting thoughts and opinions on paper, leaving it up to the reader - as all writers do - to draw their own conclusions?
Here is another good one:
For a long time I had written that their refusal to give refunds was
illegal and won't stand up to legal scrutiny. Even as they were refusing refunds, and backers getting frustrated, Croberts was on the record in the media saying they don't refuse refunds if there was a reason to give one. Even though he was already saying that 2.0 was substantial enough to refuse refunds.
Guess what happened? A guy who was refused a sizable refund, read my blogs, and decided to test my theory. He went straight to the CA authorities. They agreed with my assessment. CIG refunded the guy. Several others contacted that same CA office. All of a sudden, refunds were a thing and haven't been refused since.
I wrote about the resulting fallout in my July 2016 blog,
The Refund Debacle.
Again I asked, was that me trying to convince people of anything, or just me putting thoughts and opinions on paper, leaving it up to the reader - as all writers do - to draw their own conclusions?
I have
LOTS more where that came from. Let me know if you would like more. I have them all in a nice Evernote notebook which I used for my book. So it's just a matter of copy and paste.
