[QUOTE="Incenjucar, post: 1797917, member: 6182"] Nah. Hate can be healthy and rational. Like, say, "I hate that TSR's decision to start 2e led to the dissolution of my preffered setting and style". It's still a bit extreme of an emotion (Honestly, I don't see a point in -hating- anything less than a murderer, rapist, harmful politician, or the like, but whatever boats your float.), and poorly directed. The issue you have is basically 'coorporate reality' or even 'capitalism' not 'The 2nd edition rule set and settings'. You're upset because the company didn't continue producing books for you and those who share your taste. They did so because of money issues (that is, they wanted more of it). But 2e had no more to do with it than 3e did. Quite relaxed, thank you. I find arguments soothing. Just my nature. As for that, it was a miswrite. I meant -thing-. I miswrote due to having my thoughts on the Lucas example. My bad. It's fun, isn't it? Especially when people start crying because they just can't stand that someone disagrees. Hating a position is somewhat pointless unless it's a directly harmful position (such as on the abortion issue, wherein the two main positions are harmed by the success of their rival -please, nobody drag that into a topic-). At least you're getting closer to where your anger should be directed. Do you agree, though, that 2e itself had nothing to do with it? Remember, 2e is the system, not the design philosophy of what was added on to the system. Like I said earlier, fans are fans because of everything they hate as much as by what they love. Part of why I refuse to be a fan. I have my personal tastes, and in the case of music, I cringe in the presence of stuff that seriously clashes with it and avoid it, but I've never felt the emotion required to use the word 'hate'. But, eh. [/QUOTE]
