Regardless, the man is entitled to his opinion.

This is not a case of "every perspective is valid as long as it agrees with mine;" you must have missed one of my earliest statements: "Your naked opinion counts, but not when submitting a public review." When submitting a public review, you must keep the public in mind.
Reviews can be entirely subjective and still be just as valid. You can't go out and poll the public to decide what your opinion is.

If you feel the need to mock me for trying to make a perfectly reasonable point in a calm and civilized manner, I'm forced to question your ability to fairly moderate these forums.
Questioning my objectivity because I disagree with your statements about the validity of reviews is pretty goddamn weak.

And I'm not looking for a fight: my main goal has been to defend the makers of HoMM5 who have produced a game that is almost universally considered good. These people put years of work into the game, and I felt that giving them a 1/5 for their efforts was like giving them a undeserved kick in the teeth.
They're big boys. They can take care of themselves.

Darren; You gazed far, far, far too deep into the abyss when you wrote that review. Cause it didn't just look back, it sucked out your eyeballs, climbed in, and started driving you around like a car.- Patrick Y.
