You're missing what's being stated. What he says outside the game is in conflict with what he says while playing. The perception is that what he's saying while playing is closer to the truth of him--a lack of personal accountability with the inescapable consequence of not learning, not training his mind to acknowledge the game has given him everything he needs, and more, to get through a given gamespace, and not learning to use the tools given, nor using them according to the broad empowering rules and many unofficial uses. That should not be hard for you to understand, either. I think you do. It sounds too much like you're just defending the guy by highlighting the positive sounding stuff, as opposed to seeing that he's a typical human being who has a stubborn and ingrained and personally stunting bad habit. Or it could be an act that a lot of people don't find amusing after the first several minutes.

I don't have a problem understanding what he says for himself outside the game, outside the pressures he amplifies for himself, outside where he can intellectualize it passively and state he acknowledges what we're saying, or say what he thinks people want him to hear (not in the worst sense, mind you), and make denials of the facts of his perpetually-repeated unevolving finger-pointing that speaks volumes.

If it's an act, it's quite a gift to expend that much of that kind of energy and sustain it, when just being an observer wears people out.

Let me try and explain once again, he gets mad, _exaggerates_ in the heat of the moment, and basically says shit he doesn't really mean. I know I exaggerate and say things I don't mean when I get mad, I don't know if all of you never get mad or what since it seems like a hard concept to grasp. :D
