In that case, I simply ask that you understand that the thought's you've put forward don't really describe how many of us feel. I don't regret expressing how your post offended me, but I will apologize if you found my "silly" comment to be a bit rude. I can sometimes use harsh language when attacking ideas, but that is really what I was directing that word towards: your idea, not you. I hold the two apart, and when I attack one I don't intend to attack the other. I honestly didn't mean offense.Anyways, if you are curious about why people are suddenly bringing this issue up, I would say that it is simply because it wasn't relevant until now. 5E is the first edition of D&D in quite some time to so openly embrace the idea. 4E was quite the opposite in intent, and 3E itself didn't require "mother may I?" play either. But now, we have things like lengthy blog posts from Mr. Mearls that strongly praise the idea, say that such a style is better than anything that came before, and describe how it is going to be essential to 5E. As such, it is perfectly natural that it will be discussed much more, and many people who have long-held views about the subject have new cause to speak up rather aggressively.</blockquote>
