If you're aspiring to be an online journalist of some sort, learn to use language correctly.

Rant off.
Zephyr, will you clarify? Was this my doing or the doing of the person that wrote the article?

Good article….. It's funny how low-standard fanboys instantly get butthurt when someone exposes FO4 …. Same happened with Skyrim and other generic rubish

Even if I did, I wouldn't shape the news to my biases. I try to be a little more professional than that.

So if you see news you think would be a good fit for us, send it our way, and we'll be happy to post it.
I'm not sure I am the audience you want here anymore, it seems you are aiming for people like luj1….

I was referring to the writer of the article. I see this mistake and misuse more and more even in mainstream publications. IMO, sloppy writing reflects sloppy thinking. It's a distraction and detracts from any point a writer is attempting to make.

I couldn't agree more.

And I apologize for posting articles with sloppy authorship/journalism. Like Couch said elsewhere, we don't always have time to read each article all the way through. But in the future, it's something I'll definitely keep an eye out for…

If you don't like to have your views challenged, I'm sure there are plenty of other mainstream forums where you will have your viewpoint parroted and reflected back to you without questions asked.

The audience for RPGWatch I'd have thought for the most part, is simply mature RPG fans, regardless of whether they subscribe to a particular opinion.

Aubrielle has no need to apologise for posting valid news on a perfectly valid topic. Seriously, if you have problems with what is posted, feel free to send in your own news to "balance your perceived imbalances". The more who pitch in the merrier after all.

I think the watch has equal number of people who likes and dislike FO4, so I am fairly sure if you submit positive news about FO4, it will get posted as news and we will see the anti FO4 person claiming that the watch is catering to people like rune_74!

I agree sloppy writing reflects sloppy thinking but English isn't the first language of many people on the internet so we need a balance that too.

I agree, nothing wrong in posting articles with different view points. Why do you apologize if someone cant accept their favorite game critized? It's a sign of weak character on both ends
