Both sides engaged in rude and offensive posts from the beginning. It wasn't a matter of one side being good and the other bad. It was a matter of no one accepting posters making claims they disagreed with, and believing this was suitable grounds for being impolite. Neither side "started it", and claiming that this was the case, and it therefore justifies outlandish behavior is typical in most conflict throughout the world. Anytime people are in conflict, they justify their actions by constructing a narrative that depicts them as the victims. Any objective look at the edition wars, shows plenty of disregard for human decency on both sides of the aisle. Both sides name called. Both sides refused to allow the other to enjoy their edition of the game. Both sides built elaborate arguments for their edition being the objectively bestest version of D&D ever. And anyone who disagreed with them was attacked on a personal level. This was true from day one. If you posted you liked 4E, someone attacked you. If you posted you didn't like, someone attacked you. Even if posted you thought it was okay, both sides would attack you.</p></blockquote><p></p>
