No. You're just missing the point and reading too much into it/getting frustrated (if i'm reading this properly). I'm not being curt, nor am i upset. I don't get upset about things like this. I'm just answering the question you asked. Most people aren't consistently one or the other. It is a sliding scale. I'm not bashing anyone or people who take hobbies seriously (i have no idea where you are getting this from). I was just trying to get you to consider the way you treat games in general. People aren't necessarily one or the other (hardcore vs. casual) at all times. Everyone has the potential to be both and can swing from one to the other at any time or for any game. What I am asking or trying to get you to consider, said as explicitly as I can, is do you approach or play all games every time you play them with the same mindset? Realistically the answer is no. That is the answer to players who aren't necessarily hardcore or casual. I am hardcore for one game and one game only. Everything else is casual play to me. I am well above the average player at many games, but I still take all but one of them as just games.
You're looking too hard to be offended man. I'm not here to insult you. Even if I were it seems like you let it get to you way too much. It seems to me that a lot of the time i'm responding to you that you are completely misconstruing something and taking it as some sort of slight, it just isn't a good way to discuss things.
