[QUOTE="Snoweel, post: 5020415, member: 4453"] True. My point is, as a 4e fan who still has fond memories of 3e, it's disingenuous of anybody (in this case it seems to be 3e fans feeling vindicated in acting like douchebags due to polls showing disproportional 4e hate) to say that their edition and fans are demonstrably better than the other. And yes I understand this may seem ironic or hypocritical. However I believe if the polls had shown more 3e hate then [i]some[/i] 4e fans would have likewise engaged in douchebagery. However I genuinely believe that less 4e fans hate 3e than vice versa, and I understand why and I believe it has little to do with the relative merits of either game. Why should 4e fans hate 3e? They have no reason to. But I do believe there is definitely some ressentiment at work in the 4e hate around here. [/QUOTE]
