So… /r/nintendoswitch.

You know the kind.

One of those gaming subs where there is a **’correct answer’** more often than not — not being the first one to point it out.

The guys & gals there aren’t frank about that fact, of course. Instead, they prefer to deal with it on a passive-aggressive level. The usual deal: accuse ‘the offender’ of being mean / a troll so you have a pretext to silence their unwanted opinion. Which of course is easy-as-lie: after all, this is the internet — we ALL are ‘mean’ here to some degree. And a ‘troll’ really is someone who disagrees with you.

Been there, done that. Yadda yadda.

And since I often happen to vocally take the more controversial stance on popular matters such as

* ‘whether the NX can/should be a hybrid’ (yes to both)

* whether SwitchVR is a thing (yes, it is)

or

* whether a clock speed of 300 MHz is a big deal (no, it isn’t, but not because ‘graphics don’t matter’ — they do!)

So now… ***permaban.***

Because apparently I’m savage AF.

So what the fizzonk did I do?

Well, I had this little conversation with another redditor there — witness my SAVAGENESS!

> *Nobody outside the Nintendo fanboi echo chamber considers anything in the ‘Galaxies’ anywhere near as iconic as what the franchise had established up to and including SM64*

That’s a lie.

**Me:**
That’s a pretty rude accusation.

**[Censored user name]:**
Well it’s true.

**The_OutPost:**
Repeating the accusation doesn’t make it any less rude. :shrugs:

**[Censored user name]:**
Making accusations that nobody outside of the Mario fanbase enjoyed SMG doesn’t make you any less stupid shrugs

**The_OutPost:**
It’s not an accusation. It’s a commendation.

😉

**[Censored user name]:**
Same as for me, buddy.

**The_OutPost:**
???

You consider lying something commendable? 😕

**[Censored user name]:**
I would ask you the same question.

**The_OutPost:**
Why would you? I’m not the one ‘commending’ (?) others for lying here.

**[Censored user name]:**
I’m not the one who doesn’t know the meaning of that word.

**The_OutPost:**
Of which word?

**[Censored user name]:**
The one that you put in apostrophes for no reason.

**The_OutPost:**
You mean ‘commending’?

Well, let’s look it up then:

**commend** verb [ T ] us ​ /kəˈmend/ ​

* to formally praise or mention with approval someone or something: Lamos should be commended for creating important opportunities for minority actors.
Source[: Cambridge Dictionary]

What did you reckon the word meant? 😕

**[Censored user name]:**
> *It’s not an accusation. It’s a commendation.*

“It’s not an accusation. It’s a mention with approval someone or something.”

In the context that you used, it made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

**The_OutPost:**
Oh, but it did and does.

I regard it as commendable when people show taste in gaming, such as when putting SM64 above the ‘Galaxies’.

Therefore, I’m not accusing them of it. I’m lauding them for it.

**[Censored user name]:**
I regard it as idiotic when you do such a thing. Take off your nostalgia goggles, son. There’s a whole world of gaming waiting for you.

**The_OutPost:**
And again you resort to rudeness. :sigh:

**[Censored user name]:**
And yet it seems you’re out of arguments again. sigh

**The_OutPost:**
???
I’m not the one resorting to rudeness and (erroneous) semantics here?

**[Censored user name]:**
I wasn’t being rude haha. Just because I can accept change doesn’t mean I’m acting rude.

**The_OutPost:**
> *I wasn’t being rude haha.*

Oh, but coming in out of the blue to call people liars is pretty rude. So is attributing them idiocy.

Unless you believe that lying were commendable and idiocy favorable. The first of which you denied.

Trouble making up your mind? 😕

It’s a good source[: link to Cambridge Dictionary entry for “rude”].

Please feel free to use it.

I mean it. Please. T-T
