Hysterical? All I said was that if I can master direct control, anyone can. All it takes is practice. It's no different from learning to use the mouse for the very first time.
Now, if you have some skills at using either direct control or p-&-c and prefer the latter, then fine. But just because you may not be proficient at the former, doesn't and shouldn't mean it's automatically awkward in general. It may just mean that some games do a lousy job of implementing it, that's all. Or it may mean you refuse to just sit down and try to get better at it, like I and many others have done. Let's keep it real, I wasn't being argumentative.
