I don't think you know what an analogy is, because what you said is not an analogy at all.
Anyways, since you obviously completely misunderstand was the analogy meant: it meant that, in the same respect that if you insult your boss, he's not going to be nice and give you those hours you've been wanting, if you insult the GraalOnline staff, they're not going to be any more willing to give you all those updates and rule changes you want.
This whole "we're customers; we deserve what we ask for!" shtick is pathetic when coupled with the treatment that Unixmad, Stefan, Darlene, et al. get. What's even more pathetic is that you guys actually try and defend actions which can only be described as childish and insulting.
You see, in the real world, with big business and that whole stock market thing, you can be mean and nasty, and still get what you want. This is because, when you don't get what you want, you sell your stock and the company goes broke. Here, most of us (at least, the ones that are complaining) made a one-time payment, and can't pull that trick. So, common sense says that if we want something, we ought to act cordial towards the hand that might give it to us. Unfortunately for those of you that think this game is horribly screwed up, acting cordial might not even be enough.
It's a little thing called manners, that your parents were supposed to teach you. Just because we're all extensions of ASCII characters, does not mean that we don't have to treat each other as if we're face-to-face.
