STEAM by Riku: "purposely vague", "purposely mislead", "outright lying"

  • Follow


Riku a veteran and regular Usenet posters has a flaw which sometimes
can become a big impediment... he doesn't understand that the majority
of us don't read inside threads

I can only remember in the last 2 years Riku starting up a thread once
by himself...
I don't know why he doesn't do it more, specially when what he writes
has quality and should be read by many

So I leave this so more can read it although if Riku did it himself
the impact would be much greater
But I can't force the guy to start up thread when he doesn't want
to...

So here is what he wrote in past July 25th
Why do I feel it deserves to be quoted in a new thread I'm starting?
Cause for me this is a KEY issue with Valve/STEAM, something all those
that buy, bought or intend to buy from Valve/STEAM should understand
Now like Riku says and I totally agree with him, Valve/STEAM is using
the ignorance of customers to get away with disclosing what STEAM is
really all about...
But best is to read Rikus own worlds

Since when do you speak for the majority?

If noone reads inside the threads then how do the threads grow?
Oh yeah, cause people are reading and replying.

You speak for nobody but yourself, and that's not a majority, no matter
how many different personalities you have.

Do you realise that someone is using your posting name to reply to posts 
inside threads?  Idiot must have the same flaw eh?

BTW Riku must be thrilled you're taking his corner.

What you don't realise is a lot of people have killfiled your fascist 
arrogant ass and see nothing of you till you get a reply, or even not at 
all depending on the newsreader.

Its a key issue you've barely touched on in the past what...3 years of 
ranting and raving like a loony on the various ng you infest.
