It was true before the internet became popular but mostly contained within a given group.  Paper magazine forums such the one in Dragon frequently had hot topic debates about this stuff even before there was a 2E. All of this has been going on a long time and it doesn't take a new edition or anything of the sort to keep it going.  The only major change has been the speed and convenience of the internet to provide real time response and assistance in getting a much wider audience than was possible in the days of paper.  If there was still only one edition out there then we would still be debating and arguing about it either here or another place on the net. New editions and arguments about them are simply different fuel for the same fire. I think its a good thing overall that gamers care enough about the hobby to argue and debate about it, no matter which side of a debate they happen to be on. Arguments equal interest and thats good thing. Since we have never been content to simply choose a game we like and just play it, lets keep the fire burning. If the flame ever does go out, then so will a passionate interest in PnP roleplaying games.</blockquote>
