ORIGINAL: Leglaen Wade, I've been lurking here for some time (and enjoyed reading up on DW). You are correct that you can post what you like--this is a part of the freedom of the Internet. However, you have agreed to certain restrictions on your freedom by signing up to Matrix's forums. They have the right to control what is posted here. Now, I certainly don't think you've posted anything that is obscene or akin to that; but you have created a flurry of posts which tend to focus on what you want in DW. Again, that's not a problem--but by registering and posting here on Matrix you have entered into a regulated relationship. At the very least, I don't think it is polite or proper behavior to continue on a one-track mindset of demand. True, you are the customer--but the natural dignity of human beings (at least) should make you pause and attempt to recognize the gravity of the situation. For instance, you have constantly bugged for a longer period of beta-testing and not rushing DW. Ok, fine, great, tell Matrix that...once or twice, but in virtually every thread on here? I think Mr. Rutkins and Elliot can read. They understand your perspective. By the way, that goes for those who want the game NOW...of course we want to play the game. Yet harping on the release date (though good for marketing and such) does at some point become irresponsible. I certainly have little "pull" or influence here--I merely say these things as a human who likes for folks to respect one another. It can get tense in here the weeks before release. That's understandable. What is less understandable is the continual refrain for now now now or wait wait wait. Lest anyone assume I am a 'fanboy' or whatnot for Matrix, let me say that I've had some unhappy experiences with them back in the day (due to computer troubles et al). I still intend to buy DW. Feel free to push back... You should have seen Wade on the Space Empires V forum, but even then it was never THIS bad...
