In your opinion, but I beg to differ. Call it malicious gossip then. And there's no right of reply when you choose to do it in this manner, when you could have added to this thread. It's malicious, and it's cowardice. No, you've been cowardly and sneaky, but that's the way of things between...

You lack the courage to put your comments to the person, and you slandered him behind his back. You show nothing but cowardice and the only thing you can hide behind is that you're part of a group where that's the norm. You're caught red-handed, and have shown your true colours and character...

Cowardice and slander like this is now a firmly ingrained part of the ENWorld culture, thanks to CM. Don't expect the rot represented by those cowardly threads to stop, this place is not what it once was. Hi CM! :)

I wouldn't put it that way exactly (and didn't). I was just pointing out what I'd consider an "obvious" potential conflict of interest in this case. I see your point, but I'm not saying all are trying to do that, simply that it's congruent with such interests. I think shutting down discussion...

No, I'm not, and I'm not sure where you're getting that. I'm just saying that it's potentially in a 4E enthusiast's interests to shut down perceived challenges to the 4E way of doing things by censoring discussion in this way. Under such a ban on meta discussion of the game and it's...

What? What are you taking offense to in that? I'm not. Okay. And I suppose you're automatically not one of them?

Unless you want to discourage metatalk about the game rules, and have everyone talk exclusively about ways to use the rules as written, and not question them. For people happy with 4E, this is obviously preferable to continual implied challenges to it's rules, direction, marketing and...

Ed can come across as a bit pervy at times*, and Elminster is cast as a meddling deus ex machina DMPC, and narrator. But I don't think all DMPCs are power trips for the DM. Elminster often shows up in a way that keeps the story going (e.g. heal the PCs, distract the King, give them a lead)...

Probably because the Monster Manual was the first book released for AD&D (even retaining some D&Disms, such as no AC above 9 IIRC). So I'd assume that when Gary was thinking about boars at the time of writing the MM, he wasn't thinking about poisons. But when he began thinking about poisons...

In the mod's defense, I don't think that was a typical thread nor a typical day. I think they were just fed up with the shenanigans. I know I was, almost welcomed the ban, people were acting strange.

It's possible to strike an acceptable balance between making a buck and meeting the needs of your customers, though. It's valid for people to question whether the latter has been compromised too much for the former. The company that acts in too obviously mercenary a fashion towards it's...

I quite like Hotspur. Straight out of history, and what a name for a knight.

No doubt. I do too. I like lots of things that would probably be silly to actually spend my money on. Do you want a list? :)

With AoOs you didn't have much choice in the matter, unless you particularly liked handwaving them. When Monte Cook says management or marketing bridled at the idea of him putting "miniatures are optional" into the 3E DMG, your argument seems less plausible. Wizkids proved that flogging cheap...

On the whole, I want to thank the mods here, you guys mostly do a fantastic job, and thank you for putting up with my bollocks for years. I think the problem is not so much with the community but how the custodians of the game have chosen to proceed, and the aftermath of that.

Nevermind :)

Oh what bollocks. Look, now you're trying to claim victim status, when you were the one who went off half-cocked, accusing me of all sorts of things whilst not reading the context of my post, and then being so paranoid when I try to defend myself that you accuse me of calling you a liar and a...

I'm telling you I'm responding to people who set that ball rolling through implying it rather overtly, I didn't do it myself. No, I haven't called you a liar, nor do I consider you a 4E booster. I'm just trying to tell you that I'm a respondent to the "sides" issue, not an instigator, and I'm...

I'm saying that you didn't respond to their claims, not mine. I'm completely aware you're jumping down my throat, and letting their claims of denialism and the way the anti-4E group acts completely off the hook. The fact that I pointed out they were doing this is apparently objectionable...

Take your own advice, Cirno. You're the one who's jumped in with the accusation here based on semantics and something you think is implied that may or may not actually be there. I was just responding to an accusation based on calling anyone some other poster disagreed with "denialists". If...
