...and your back to condescending insults that are based off of incorrect assumptions. If you read my comments, you would have noticed that I actaully mentioned that several ending criticisms were invalid. A lot of them were irrational and just plain ignorant. That doesn't make any of the actual valid arguments any less true.

I think I know what your problem is. You're making this about sides. It's what often what a lot of Conservatives do. To them, all Democrats have the same goals and methods, and no matter what anyone says or does, all democrats are just evil, lying, conniving, cheats. They've esentially grouped up thousands of people without knowing them or hearing about them and saying "this is what you're all like."

This is what you're doing. You're taking the worst "anti-ending" arguments, and assuming that anyone who criticises the ending does so for the same reason. That's wrong. There are tens of thousands disappointed by the ending; it's unreasonable to say they are all misinterpreting it or lying because they want to mislead people. A lot of them do have silly arguments. Some people are upset because they didn't see little blue babies. Sure, closure is important, but the Extended Cut provided that to a modest degree.

What I'm getting at here is that you've essentially grouped yourself with those who like the ending, and are always right, whilst anyone who criticises the ending for any reason is automatically considered part of some "Anti-Ending" movement. Hundreds of people are criticising it for a myriad of reasons; it's unreasonable to assume they're all doing it for the same reasons. When you look at things objectively, you'll notice that one side of any conflict is ever right 100% of the time. I've praised Mass Effect 3 for what it did right, and criticised its faults. I'm not part of any movement, or on any "side". I'm on the side of honesty. We should all stop taking sides and learn that no one is right all of the time, and doing one thing will only ever be right for so long. It's why, politically speaking, I'm a moderate with no real party preference. I don't affiliate myself with Conservatives, because whilst they are often right, they are also often wrong. The same goes with Liberals. It's why I don't follow a certain religion or adhere to one specific code in life. I believe that we need to react to circumstances as they happen; one can never have a sure-fire plan for life.

The point of that whole rant is this: neither side is right all the time. Have you raised good points? Absolutely. There are plenty who misinterpret the ending. There are good things about it, and more than anything, I'd say it has potential. However, we cannot subscribe to one side or the other and assume that the other is always incorrect.
