Honest question: are you enjoying this? I looked at your comment history and you don't seem like a troll. What is going on right now?

The person you’re replying to has only posted two short comments in this thread.

The reason a few different people are arguing this point is because it is in fact wrong, or at least poorly expressed, to refer to someone’s unfamiliarity with some aspect of a field like the gaming market as “wildly uneducated.”

Ironically, the person using that phrase is demonstrating a lack of understanding of its common meaning, suggesting that they may be a better fit for the word “uneducated”. See e.g: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/uneducated

As Wittgenstein put it, we’re playing language games.

Wild that you even mentioned this, considering the context.

Yes.

I can see how you allowed your own stalking tendencies to confuse yourself, but I wasn't referring to that.

Your comment made it sound as though they were being unreasonable in this thread. I don't see that in the two short comments you responded to. Perhaps you were having a bad day.
