Criticism != Elitism, Culture != Metrics, Gamers == All Grown Up. - by Slade Villena

Elitist is an easy word to throw around.  It's easy to toss, just like 'Infidel', 'Heretic', 'Enabler', 'Communist' or worse, 'Terrorist'.   But first, I'd like to define some words, before I start throwing them around; 'Criticism'  -> The entire field of commentary, opinions, analysis, forum posts, the entire literature of buzz-words targeting a game or game company.  And yes, this includes the sour remarks of trolls, all the way to the unwarranted comments made by Roger Ebert (in all it's ignorance, all of it).  That's the entire realm of 'Criticism', for better, for worse. With courtesy, or without. Arrogant, or not. 'Elitist' -> This seems to fit a generalized ideal.Let's move on the beef I have with 2 critical statements made by Mr. Lovell.
