I don't know whose posts you've been reading but this whole discussion has been very rational and interesting. A one sided argument is pretty boring. It might have gotten a little heated at times but that's what happens in any good debate. Also, you can't call this a flame war because there haven't been any negitive comments directed to attack you as a person. Some people may have attacked your opinion on the subject of this thread but that's what happens in threads. Someone offers a point and someone comes up with a counter point. It's as simple as that. And as for all the MM stuff, it's just some examples. The best way to explain a point is give practical examples that show what you mean. In this case they are comparing the difficulty of what they'd like Zelda Wii to the difficulty of MM. If I say that I want Zelda Wii to be medium in difficultly and give no example what does it mean? Nothing. If you don't use examples to show what 'medium' is then it means nothing. What Mirren, Rhalen and other folks have been doing during the thread is establishing what 'easy', 'medium', and 'hard' mean.
