[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 4550832, member: 5889"] But what your forgetting is...many people simply like discussing! People like to debate and argue things. I've personally spent a great deal of time discussing the pros and cons of 4e (see my threads that discuss the 4e subsystems) and I greatly enjoy writing every one. I love getting to deconstruct a game system and find out what works and doesn't work. Sometimes I write positive stuff about 4e, and sometimes I write negative things, but I enjoy the discussion and debate no matter which side I'm currently on. There's nothing wrong with people being passionate about the discussion of a game system, or about any particular "edition war". The only thing wrong is when people are illogical about their discussions or put their discussions in the wrong place. First, people who rant and rave with no logic do not serve the boards...they just create a hostile image. People who calmly tear down a particular game system they don't like with rational points I never have a problem with, these people are giving others information, information those people are free to do with as they please. Second, people should place their posts in the right area. If I open up a thread talking about general things about 4e, that's an open field for fiery debate. If I open a thread asking people to tell me about their favorite 4e character, that is not an appropriate place to start tearing down the system, no matter how logical and calm the argument. [/QUOTE]
