If you refuse (rightly or not) to take the only path currently available to you, then you don't want your pixels badly enough. If you want things to change, campaign productively. Whining about how much you don't like the way things are will only disenfranchise people with any ability to help make the change and entice other people to just make fun of you.
Every single one of your insults WEAKENS YOUR POSITION AND THAT OF EVERY PERSON WHO AGREES WITH YOU. There have been several people who have made positive, calm, rational arguments for alternative solutions WITHOUT complaining about hurt feelings or things being more difficult than what they are willing to accept. I applaud those people. Why can't you learn from them?

Your posts have been quite contradictory. First you take the stance that people don't want pixels badly enough and they should just try harder in game. Your very first post on this topic stated "Look, the bottom line here is that this is a people problem, not a rules problem." Then you go on to say how people just need to try harder to win within the current rules. Now you are saying trying to change the rules is ok, but only if you do it productively, which is exactly the point of this entire thread. Loraen has been quite productive in his threads on this topic. Your responses that essentially boil down to "you don't love pixels enough" have been anything but productive.
Your second paragraph begins with a rather bizarre claim, and then takes a turn into strawman country. As it was written by a person who has a brain that produces self-contradictory material in rapid succession, I'll take it all as a compliment.
And if you get upset at my insults towards the bottom-feeding community of this server, it leads me to believe you are a part of this community, or at least you see yourself as a bottom-feeder. Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you're a super person. The ability to think rationally and clearly is not for everyone. We all have our own strengths and I'm sure you'll find yours.
