[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 3741468, member: 2205"] Like I said; I am chilled. You're the one trying to turn this into a heated, personal exchange. I'm just talking here. Typing to be more specific, but you get my point. OK, well you don't need them. But if I disagree with you, and I do have at least some minimal facts (reports from WotC market research a few years ago) and you don't... sure you don't need facts to make a statement. You might want them if you want anyone to take your statement seriously, though. I had over 15,000 posts a year and a half ago when I mostly abandoned ENWorld for Circvs Maximvs. I've hardly added to that total in the last 18 months. :shrug: I'm only back more frequently now to find out what I can about 4e, and of course that's drawing me into the same old conversations that I've been having here since 2000. I'm sorry, but I don't have a habit of catering to the over-sensitive. True; I tend to hang out on messageboards that are a bit more wild and wooly than ENWorld these days, but if you think my posts are "acidic" and "offensive" I'm going to say that's a problem with you, not with my posts. I don't think you're stupid, and I've never claimed nor implied that you were. (Well, at least not here anyway.) If you're seeing that in my posts, you're goign out of your way to find offense, and/or simply can't stand being told that you're wrong, and take it personally even though it's not personal. Pointing out stuff that you seem to be formulating theories that ignore what little we do know about the RPG market is a perfectly isn't mean-spirited. That kind of stuff happens all the time in the academic world. It's not personal dude, I just think you're wrong. No, it's not obnoxious. Then again, when I'm just engaging in rank speculation without knowing anything really about what I'm talking about, I tend to be up front about it myself. I'm certainly not going to be offended when someone tells me that there's no facts to suggest that that's true. I'll gladly admit that's the case. I'm a little confused that you think I would do otherwise. See, now [b]that's[/b] mean. I'm not really offended by it, but calling this character assassination is a flat-out lie and is borderline libelous. And I don't have to avoid any conversation that I'm interested in (and this isn't a 1e conversation; your own thread title clearly marked it as 4e related) and I won't on your account. And I certainly won't sit here and let you claim that I'm assassinating your character without saying something about it, because that is flat-out untrue. [/QUOTE]
