11 You're explaining the game to someone who's rated 300+ more than you.
Do you not see the obvious irony of dismissing my argument on the basis of my rating while yourself having a similar rating? What on Earth do you do when two 1900s have an argument over which strategy is more viable (as happened recently in the Masters of Arena 4 thread)? Assume they're both right? Or perhaps you'll defer to a 2200+ rated player who has his say, until of course a 2400 disagrees with him? I would speculate that the reason for your middling rating is that you are willing to take the arguments of higher rated players on faith. I would like to think that the strategies I have tried and failed to use in rated games has led me to understand why they don't work as opposed to the mere fact that they don't.
That sort of preachiness is exactly what I don't like about sotl videos.
You take a polite disagreement over strategy, portray it as preachiness, and do so in a post which strongly implies that such practice is a socially improper way to conduct a conversation? With such a level of cognitive dissonance, it is no wonder you are an AoCZone moderator.
