Heh.
I quoted and moved on with composing the post without considering that the name was attached to the quote. If I had thought about it I would have just deleted it or replaced it with something silly like YARB, JARB or even Peter Dragon. The quote makes my point just as well without having a specific name attached, but now that the quote is gone my post really doesn't work that well.
Anyway, to try this from another angle, I don't think the edition wars problem is really caused by people giving their opinions on one game or another. The real issue is that some people are throwing hate at the other side. It's the expression of that hate, within the rules or not, that needs to disappear.
