Hypocrisy is the state of pretending to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that one does not actually have.[1] Hypocrisy involves the deception of others and is thus a kind of lie.[1]
Hypocrisy is not simply failing to practice those virtues that one preaches. Samuel Johnson made this point when he wrote about the misuse of the charge of "hypocrisy" in Rambler No. 14:
Nothing is more unjust, however common, than to charge with hypocrisy him that expresses zeal for those virtues which he neglects to practice; since he may be sincerely convinced of the advantages of conquering his passions, without having yet obtained the victory, as a man may be confident of the advantages of a voyage, or a journey, without having courage or industry to undertake it, and may honestly recommend to others, those attempts which he neglects himself.[2]
Thus, an alcoholic's advocating temperance, for example, would not be considered an act of hypocrisy as long as the alcoholic made no pretense of constant sobriety.
saying that a subforum poll on how you would rate the game is not legit because it is such a small audience, then saying that a poll of people quitting
within that subforum is legit is not hypocrisy.
Saying that paid reviewers are top shit when they rate swtor high, then ignoring then discrediting or just flat out ignoring the fact the very same reviewers when they give games you think are shit nearly the same to higher scores, is hypocrisy.
Curious Caedus, do you even have a high school diploma?
Curious Caedus, do you even know what statistics I am even talking of?
Curious Caedus, do you even know why this game is going to fail?
Curious Caedus, why are you such an avid fanboy of a 200 million dollar game that can only muster voiced quests over pretty much anything else?
