Yeah, I'd heard. Poor guy.

Really? That's your reaction to folks not agreeing with you? Getting accusative? Thanks. You've shown me all I need to know about this interaction. Have a good day.

They have explicitly stated that they will be working between the series and movie. I mused about eventually reaching beyond that because canonically there's like 6 or 8 months of time in there, which is a pretty hard limit.

As if you had statistics on that? You don't see it often, personally? That's awesome. I don't see it at my table, because my table is made of friends I've had for a decade and more. But, if someone's playing at their FLGS or something, I would expect the bag to be more thoroughly mixed.

Mod Note: Somehow, through some unfathomable mental process, you got the idea that referencing real-world terrorism was going to be a good idea. It was not. You're done in this discussion.

Text isn't cooler. These boards are text, and we need humans dedicated to acting as moderating influences because even small things blow up. Text was the basic medium of the Edition Wars. Text can get very, very hot. Text lacks the basic human social cues humans normally use to guage intent...

You realize that's not what is being said here, right? You recognize that you are misrepresenting other people's positions? Because, what I would say is, "This whole thing is too important to leave to be decided by people who don't know the technical aspects of the issues, and implemented by...
