So I'm talking about the warlord... just not what you feel I should be talking about when it comes to the warlord. And no I'm not discussing whether you should talk about the warlord. I'm discussing whether posters feel there is or isn't enough demand for the warlord to get an officially published version. I don't control the forums... nothing I do or say can stop people from discussing warlords... so there's nothing to discuss on that front.
Actually, you're specifically NOT talking about the warlord. You're talking about whether or not people want a warlord, which is a completely different topic. And, if you're right, and there isn't demand, then you have a nice talking point for shutting down further conversation. After all, if there's no demand, then there's no need for multiple threads talking about it right?
I don't see a citation for this supposed discussion between you and me that I didn't understand. If it was the last time we discussed something it shouldn't be too hard to provide a link... I mean it's exactly what you asked me for right? But I'll bet you just ignore this and never actually provide a link... lets' see.
EDIT: Unless you're talking about later in the conversation when the goalposts were changed and we were discussing a specific era of DL as opposed to a generic (any era )DL character... that wasn't a misunderstanding that was all of the information not being provided to begin with.
Moving goalposts? You were the only one who wasn't understanding the conversation. Everyone else was on board, whether or not they agreed. So, if everyone else understands the conversation and you don't...
Here's your example of hyperbole... emphasis mine. I've never said this, never argued for it and never said no discussion of the warlord whatsoever should take place. I've said the threads were excessive in number, they were cluttering up the forum but never said no one should be allowed to talk about warlords and all threads about warlords should go away... What's transparent is, like usual, you are creating a fake argument, assigning it to me and then arguing against it.
EDIT: I mean honestly man this feels like it's starting to get a little personal for you... bringing up old threads, assigning arguments and motivations that I've never expressed and arguing I don't have the right to post my opinion about whatever I want within the rules of ENworld...
So, what is "excessive"? Two threads? One? Should warlord fans only start a thread if no existing thread is on the first page of the forum? Where's the cut off?
IOW, what's the point of this thread if not to shut down conversation? If you are right, and there's no demand, then you can safely tell anyone starting a new thread that they are whistling in the dark and no one cares. You don't have to actually argue any of the points made. You've created a nice rhetorical position where no matter what's being argued, or how often, you can simply shut it down by claiming that no one cares.
And, what if you're wrong? What if there really is demand. After all, your own poll shows about 25% of respondents want an official warlord. That's a pretty damn big chunk of gamers right there. Which means that people should be starting threads to talk about the class. It's a very popular class.
But, in any case, since this thread isn't actually discussing anything to do with the class itself, it should get shelved the same way the other meta-thread was and put in Meta-Discussion.
