If only...

I actually have a habit of arguing my point of view, albeit with varying degrees of detail. And if I do throw mud, it’s as seasoning, not the main course.

Reread my posts above on this topic at your leisure:
/topic/at/387278/
/topic/at/387419/
and point out (or write) even one argument from the defense that is comparable in quality.

But don't start throwing around comments like "there's nonsense written there" again; coming from you, it sounds like yapping.
For a normal discussion, you need to form a coherent position in detail.

Vovin's post was right at the beginning of the discussion. You somehow missed it, just like everyone else. So Oelm's behavior is quite adequate: people ignore reasonable arguments said in a calm tone – so we'll beat the drum louder, whoever shouts loudest wins.
Regarding the complete lack of resources for the Hive faction, since everything has long been consumed: you probably confused Valentka with Samurai or yourself. In your case, all resources were likely depleted by the end of week two/beginning of week three. Here, after a more or less clear first week, expansion was very sluggish, which could be easily tracked using the tavern, so it was quite predictable: along the road, everything was eaten up; something might remain in the corners.
And ultimately, hiding in the corners is generally basic strategy when playing control against melee factions.
