    Is it ok to call others troll on this site?  Seems that would fall under being derogatory, baiting or attackng.  So just to prove your point I bet Suzy (assuming SB) will allow you calling me a troll to remain here.

    Nice find! Quote form the article:

    I’ve become convinced that he does not actually work for EA. In fact, since I sent him several messages yesterday and this morning, he has changed his Twitter profile to remove all mentions of EA.

    So in fact just someone acting as an agent provocateur in an attempt to discredit those who are complaining.

    Hmm... that tactic sounds oddly familiar :)

    So people making death threats to a person who they thought was an EA  employee is ok if that person turns out to not be an employee of EA?  Hey you justify it anyway you want I guess.  

    Talk about a desperate tactic.  
    You don't really stop and think you just sort of get wound up and "go".

    No one is saying that "death threats" are ok. No one is saying that it's not ok to threaten an EA employee but it's ok to threaten someone else.

    They are merely pointing out that this might be a hoax. That's it.

    There is a difference between looking at what someone says and reading between the lines and looking at what someone says and making up your own narrative.
    I don't believe a wind up and go is what's going on here.  I believe it's moved into the realm of trolling and baiting.  He knows what he's saying is making up his own narrative, he just wants to use it to claim Suzie and the gang are discriminatory in their moderation and administration of this site and forums.

    Best to simply acknowledge his attempts for what they are rather than attempt to clarify things for him.

    Report link must be broken...oh except when they report me I guess then it works.  Weird how that works when I have had for two days now of direct insults from your buddies Islen and Maddy and those post are still there. Yet I have not directly insulted anyone here (sure i called some reddit users idiots) @MikeB must be busy playing Wild West online.  I doubt when he is done anything will change.  Probably just ban me and protect those doing the bullying.

    LOL no rage at all. I decided to get a refund when they closed BioWare Montreal and shit-canned the Mass Effect series literally months before this. I was not able to until they had actually charged my account for the preorder...earlier this week. It still felt good given these missteps and the additional closure of Visceral. All added together to make me very sure that I don't want to play this game or any other EA game for the foreseeable future.

    Calling someone a troll means they think you are trying to antagonise people because you get some kind of kick out of it, either with comedic or malicious intent. It's not really a personal insult or anything like that.

    I personally don't think you are trolling. You definitely believe in the things you are saying. However, you need to just cool off and let it go.. you've been at it for two or three days now. Your opinions are not popular and you just need to accept that. Trying to change people's minds on the internet is extremely difficult and you're only going to continue to make yourself feel more agitated about it.

    Just say whatever and go enjoy Battlefront II.

    no that doesnt work.

    He is saying that they are 'defending' which means he is 'attacking' which is not very 'special snowflake' so there is that.

    So...let's see...this is my first post:

    I will be cancelling my pre-order as soon as I can, though that's apparently not "allowed" until release day. Between the closures of Visceral and BioWare Montreal and the earlier issue with loot boxes, this one's got greed written all over it. While I'm sure it'll still make money because it's Star Wars, after all, it won't earn my money.
    And this is my second:

    I actually found that I could cancel, but not online. * eye roll * I went to their "help site" ( https://help.ea.com/en/origin/origin-access/ ) and then created a ticket for a cancellation of the game. I had them phone me but you can also go with online chat and they will cancel the preorder. You also get a nice opportunity to say why you're cancelling too.

    EDIT: Seems that online chat is up to 90 minutes and is now listing as "offline" while a return phone call is about 25 minutes' wait time.

    Feels good, man. 

    While it can be said that my $80 doesn't matter...well, if enough $80s get together, it will make a difference. 

    How do you extrapolate "rant" out of those...and by the way, the ONLY posts I made in that thread or about canceling my preorder.
