[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5183462, member: 54846"] It's like showing up to a baby shower and saying "This food you made is awful and this house is ugly, but congrats on the newborn!" You have the right to say it, but it's just rude. There are things like [I]decorum[/I]. Just because you [I]can[/I] say something doesn't mean you [I]should[/I], or at least that it's appropriate time and place to say it. Any other thread can be used as a place to complain about the current edition and make your opinions heard, but the one thread being positive about someone's promotion, folks can't hold their tongue long enough to say "Hey good for you" without being negative in the same breath. God knows there's no "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" rule on the internet. And it's not a requirement for ENworld either. But sometimes it should be exercised, and "there's no rule against not saying nice" isn't a retort to someone pointing out decorum. There shouldn't [I]need[/I] to be a rule, people should be able to show some kind of restraint. "You don't talk about politics or religion in polite conversation" is a maxim of general etiquette. I'd add "Edition Opinions" to this list; this thread is polite conversation, and that's just dragging in unnecessary baggage for the sake of dragging it in. I've all ready spent too much time derailing this thread by pointing this out and dirtying it up with negativity. This is the last I'll say on the topic. But [I]come on[/I], people. Is there no where we can look past which edition camp we're at and just treat one another like human beings who share a certain hobby? [/QUOTE]
