[QUOTE="ppaladin123, post: 5325466, member: 60923"] It seems like a rather smug little defense of the original article: I swear I actually clicked on the "Mike Mearls Ruined Everything Thread" before I commented on it...I was, uh, just engaging in dry wit, yeah...guess you can't handle it. Oh and yeah...my tendentious account of 4e...well that is just Rolling Stones style journalism...you must not be familiar with real journalism if my tone or technique irked you. Death Spiral? Well, umm...some of my friends said that they heard that 4e isn't selling as well as 3e. There is no evidence that 4e is totally awesome and as we all know, absence of evidence equals evidence of absence! Oh yeah, and I totally have all sorts of numbers and statistics about how well 3e sold so I am not pulling this out of my butt. My source? Well, you see...hey look! a beholder! ::absconds through the back door.:: Annoyed comments...well that's just because there are a bunch of divisive and unreasonable people out there who hate "classic" d&d. So really, I actually [U]empathize[/U] with Mearls...it's us versus the unwashed masses! We are heroes really. I'm looking forward to reading the comments that [U]this[/U] article generates. :) [/QUOTE]
