I had asked:
And I get this:
Attacking the poster is wrong. Stating that one is excited for 4E is not. Sounds like we're in agreement. You answered a question different from the one I asked, but - ah well - you obviously put some time into it, and who am I to pick on you.
Huh? Wha? I don't get it. Do you really believe the stuff you write?
Ahhh, now we're back to reality. I agree with you. I love(d) 3E. Brought me back into the game. The fact that the hobby is now ready to move forward once again in no way minimalizes, marginalizes, or trivializes the benefits that 3E did for the community as a whole. Just like 3E didn't toss 1E out the window in terms of importance to our hobby and to the community.
You always have to start somewhere, and improvement is often a gradual process.

Set said:The pro-4E camp was in a minority, roughly half the size of the pro-3E camp, so perhaps they felt it necessary to put their backs to the wall and start spewing venom as fast as they could, while begging for moderation to stop the mean nasty 'haters' from responding to their flames.

Set said:...the pro-4E crowd (and this is from the designers on down) have an unfortunate tendency to say, 'Well, 3E is boring, broken and unplayable, and if you like this, your games are boring, too, so here's what we are doing in 4E.'
