[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4556892, member: 70778"] Yeah it usually means someone is trying to force your words to say what they want to say to win some argument rather than look at actual facts that could prove their own position to be false. Your questions are already loaded. What idiot would take on such loaded questions head on? North or South? village in the Netherlands? Ferrera? United States of? You question is pointles because it is too vague and loaded since anyway anyone responds to you can easily say "that isn't what I was asking". This is all semantics and subjectivity. It can be not be used to prove anything in an argument other than people are going to argue over their own opinions. Again this can easily be answered, but in turn you could claim with your own semantics that the answer does not qualify for what you are asking. But here you go with an answer and proof for this question. D&D is a series of individual games bearing the name over the past 3 decades. No one game in the series is wholly D&D. Therefore while 4th edition may carry the name of the newest game in the series, it is not all inclusive to defining D&D. Therefore 4th edition is not D&D but a part of a greater whole of the individual games over those decades that has bore the name of D&D. 4th edition is a D&D, but 4th edition is not all D&D, so saying 4th edition is D&D is false. To try and claim that "4th edition is D&D" would make your statement suffer from recentism rather than facts, because your claim is not fully founded. [/QUOTE]
