You may want to reread dcb's first paragraph you quoted. He's not saying what you claim. When a person uses "it's as if," "it's as though," or "it's like," they don't mean the subsequent clause to be taken literally. If I were to write that "When I read laudatory reviews of Oblivion, it's like the writers were all chained, mindless slaves ordered under threat of the lash to create realms of praise for some despotic ruler," I don't actually mean that any of those (mindless) writers were chained and threatened with physical violence by some D&D overlord to produce their material. I can't say dcb's phrasing is very clear, but he/she appears to be stating that game designers thought they'd seem really mature by including sex and violence.

If you don't like the game then fair enough that's your right. Stop playing (I believe you already have) but that should be an end of it.

If they want to complain by offering their views in a reasonable and coherent fashion, they can do so, and we provide the threads for that purpose. They might well reply to you that if you don't like a thread holding their complaints, it's your right to stop reading their comments--and that should be an end of it.
For myself, I find this discussion interesting, in the way it shows how people with differing standards arrive at very different conclusions regarding the same product. So I'm not about to stop reading, here. I hope others on all sides of this issue won't stop, and won't stop posting, either.
