It is interesting to notice the various responses here.

There are those that agree with Beefy (I'm happy for you guys).
There are those that see as their job to correct Beefy's views as he is obviously an ignorant that must be taught a lesson.
There are those who doesn't agree with Beefy about the game but who understands that views are subjective, something that is correct to the person who has it.
And finally there are the people who just enter the thread to discuss and have fun (fun being quite relative here ).

I'm definately in the third group. I like the game, but I feel the load/siege-bug is big and bad. I try to lessen its effect by playing long and hard each time before saving and quiting. At the same time I dabble with modding so as to make the game work how I want it to. But in general I try not to enforce my views on other people.
If there are people who are perfectly happy with the game as it is then that is how it should be. Sadly I'm not, and obviously I'm not alone. But just because we don't think the game is as good as it should be does that make it right for us to jump people who think the game is good? Not at all! I think there are a good number of people who have been a bit unfair towards Beefy and his views.
