You can come to the conclusion you like, I just fail to take your arguments seriously when they're poorly written.
Yes you have the right to say whatever you damn well please, but I also have the right to (correctly) accuse you of xenophobic behaviour, as that is exactly what your labelling is. Whether Dcgm is American or not is not the issue here, is it? It's not pertinent to the thread topic, so stop spreading your hate for various cultures.
Ah. So for someone to make a valid point, not only must they be able to make them self understandable in a foreign language, but they have to be linguistically 100% correct. Funny. That would exclude just about everyone, and I'm fairly sure, that would include you as well. For example, should i ignore you due to AmE / BrE expectations?
And, no, the nationality of anyone doesn't have much to do with the thread, aside from the obvious misconception that the thread creator for some reason has a right to demand a change of the logo. A forum is not a democratic society. It's run by a few who posses absolute power, and who have selected a few to help them moderate the forum after there wishes. Starting to chant about your rights to select design elements, is somewhat of target. Going with "i find this new logo repulsive, do you agree" and suggesting other designs is something entirely different. Something i shouldn't have to point out to you.
I'm going to bed. Do by all means respond, I'll get back to you in the morning. That is, if you can muster something that is a valid argument.
Xenophobia is a dislike and/or fear of that which is unknown or different from oneself. - You wouldn't happen to be able to figure out that it actually applies to your comment as well? "Ooooh, he cant write according to my standard, so i dislike him" actually qualifies. Heck, you wanna go there, ANY discontent with anyone could be blamed on xenophobia. It wouldn't be right, just as your accusation above isn't. You could blame me for prejudice, and to that i would even agree. I still think I'm right to be prejudice, due to running in to the same type of statements over and over, from Americans only. But that just might been luck.
Or, you could actually admit that you don't have any real arguments, and drop the topic. Or you could just drop the topic, trying to convince yourself that makes you the better man, while i convince my self you gave up due to lack of real arguments.
B!
