User blog comment:Awayorafk/Reaper Logic: What Bioware was TRYING to get across./@comment-2086180-20120425222954/@comment-4950455-20120426053513

To be absolutely honest, Ironreaper, I suspect it's at least partially because you seem to be intentionally looking to find the worst spin on things you can think of - i.e., trying to come up with a reason why the Citadel did not explode supernova-style rather than consider the possibility that the explosions of the mass relays here are different from that in Arrival. There's not a lot of point in debating with someone who's already made up their mind that the endings equal galactic holocaust.

Honestly, while I'm pretty sure that's not the case, I think it can be interpreted that way, and it's a major failure on Bioware's part that they failed to show any counter-evidence. So I'm not necessarily questioning your arguments here. But you are coming across as rather single-minded here, and that if I did want to argue, that would make it hard to muster any energy to really dispute your points.
