That is an interesting interpretation of my question.
Notice how in the continued thread after receiving confirmation that they were not just making up a story as many do, or otherwise living in an area of the UK that is not GMT, I immediately switched to asking for confirmation about their point about simcity.
Could you help me understand how digging is personal attacks?
Ah. I’m not sure I understand how that is considered a personal attack. Especially when I see others calling each others messages AI slop with no recourse. Perhaps people just don’t flag those comments because they agree, whereas people flagged my message because they didn’t.
I have great respect for what you and now also Tom provide to the community, so I don’t believe I have much ground to argue from. So I will just say as I do not understand the application of this rule, I may potentially run afoul of it again in the future. Please understand it won’t be out of disrespect, simply out of ignorance and a need to grow my definition of what a personal attack is one instance at a time until it aligns with your views.
Oh indeed. I was referring to how the community itself views it by their choices to flag or not flag things. But thank you for the confirmation of my understanding.
My sleep schedule varies from week to week depending on whatever miscellaneous project is sucking up all my attention (with some constants). It's hard to stay on a strict schedule once I've gotten into "the flow".
No, but SimCity (and most games) are designed for a primarily American audience by American developers and are "build-from-scratch" games. I feel a game for designing UK cities would be much harder to design, especially because most cities in the UK are the way they are because of historical restrictions while the United States and Canada were unburdened by this.

Please don't cross into personal attack. The idea is to abstain from that here.

Your comment implied that the other person was lying.

Ok so do you feel strongly then that simcity is representative of civil engineering in the UK?
No, but SimCity (and most games) are designed for a primarily American audience by American developers and are "build-from-scratch" games. I feel a game for designing UK cities would be much harder to design, especially because most cities in the UK are the way they are because of historical restrictions while the United States and Canada were unburdened by this.
