So in your opinion is AH a game or a simulation? Maybe you ride the fence and believe it's a gameulation? You know, compromises have been made... that kind of thing?
One thing I've learned about Canspec is... he's a really nice guy, but if your level of BS rises to the level where you need to be told you're full of it, he tells you. 
It's a simulation in my view....and in the view of many others. If it was simply a "game" I'd have lost interest in it a long time ago.
As for "Nice guy" Canspec:
All I've done is point out the flaws in your views and poke some fun with a few humorous drawings. No usage of profanity. No calling you a jerk or a "t__t". His response is to go right into the gutter. Nice....and you wonder why some really dislike you guys? Hint: It's not because of your mad "skillz". It's because you tend to bring every conversation down to the lowest level possible i.e. names and insults. It may be pride, ego or other things...but it really doesn't matter. ANY dispute with members of your squad spirals into the cesspool eventually....it's the way of things I suppose.
