[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 598598, member: 2067"] Hm...personal attacks aren't warranted, eh? You're probably right. But I was just following suit...you attacked Mr. Smith personally, after all. I consider saying that a person you have (most likey) never met or spoke with in person "makes me want to barf" in a forum where he probably can't even defend himself is one of the elements of poopshootery. Also, it astonishes me how you can still be mad after writing the word "poopshoot." Come on, that's gotta make ya laugh! ;) Anyhoo, to place me on the issue... 1) I do think that the articles have been a bit...insipid. Perhaps quite a bit. 2) I don't think it's construvtive to insult, really. Mostly because I don't think we really know the circumstances...Mat Smith may not be a writer by trade or training, and is just kinda "pulling duty" here. You can't fault someone who can't write well for not writing well. That's like saying you your Malon Brando impersonation makes me want to stab myself when someone else asked you to do it. 3) Your not alone. But I figure there's bigger issues to post on. :) If you're going to rant about a free service WotC provides, wh not rant on those Fey Features? I mean, they take a chaotic epitome of nature and turn them into a lawful court interspersed with Stoppard quotes. :p But, y'know, I just don't think it's worthwhile to personally attack the authors of those...it's not hurting me in anyway. 4) In the spirit of "it's not hurting me in anyway...".....don't click the link, and all your stomach unease will depart, I assure you. ;) [/QUOTE]
