[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7559533, member: 85555"] Fair enough, I will try to assume good faith. But I still maintain that the position you hold, where you think you can understand what is going on in other peoples' heads, and where you think you have special insight into how prevalent the desire for realism is in the hobby, comes of as incredibly arrogant. I am not trying to be rude, I am trying to be honest (which I think is what you are saying as well). But I will try to moderate my tone here. A conversation is fine. But you got to understand you can't have a conversation where what you are saying is irritating and insulting (which I think your dismissal of peoples stated preferences are) and expect people not to say something about it. And it isn't like they are just stopping at voicing frustration, they are giving you a responding indicating they know what they like, and you keep persisting. It would be like me saying something akin to 'your desire to dismiss realism, reveals a deep subconscious desire to play a deeply simulationist GURPS campaign based on pure, unadulterated, realism. Prove me wrong!". I am not trying to be ridiculous, and I am really not trying to be insulting, but it is a very difficult for me to give anything but my honest reaction to what you are saying. And I have to emphasize here, I am not the proponent of realism in this thread. I just think it is fair for someone who expresses a desire for realism in the game, to expect other posters to believe them. [/QUOTE]
