Jazzy Circuit is doing a lot of PR for 3s that I suspect is missing from SF4 (or Hyper Fighting, which would be my selection as an old head). Plus sf4 has that wack old delay netcode holding it back, I think with a reissue and rollback it could get traction again

Thanks for the kind words, Joe. I remember when I first met you, you could barely do quarter circles, and now, you have one of the highest TOD averages in the scene. You've come a long way in and out of the game!

I understand. I just don't want this place to become another X where people are more concerned with shutting down worthwhile conversations than continuing them.

If someone instead were to ask, "What does it mean for CB to be part of CPT now that IWC is involved," would that be acceptable to you?

Also, I anticipated that you would make this about me because exchanges like this tend to resort to whataboutism, but I'll play along.

I agree that starting the conversation in the way you would describe might be more productive, but I think a more productive way would be to ask a question.

I simply wanted to know how you think people who were genuinely concerned by the announcement should address the matter because you offered no clear alternative to how you think this discourse should be taking place.

By conversation, I mean the response to the announcement that the EWC is partnering with CPT, which, in turn, CB is a part of.

I agree that to infer that CB is accepting Saudi money based solely on this announcement is wrong and somewhat irresponsible, but my reply to your post was not rhetorical.

I'm sorry to hear that you find this sort of discourse exhausting, but how would you suggest people have this conversation instead? Or are you suggesting that because you believe CB has "earned the benefit of the doubt," this conversation shouldn't be happening at all?
