[QUOTE="Jimlock, post: 5723841, member: 6674931"] I know that what I'm about to do is probably wrong... I know that I will sound like a prick. But... I'm really tired of answering to every wrong point (wrong... for me) made here, and in the other thread. Honestly, I find that the majority of points made by Arrowhawk, Tovec, and airwalkrr, and perhaps a few others are wrong and out of focus. If you guys think, and keep saying that there is no case made "yet" after all those pages, I'm afraid I have nothing more to say. Rest assured, that if your arguments were convincing, I would have come out to admit it. Believe me or not, I assure you I would have done it. I say all this, because I retire from this debate. I 've made my points, over and over again and it is obvious we disagree... perhaps because, as I've said earlier, we might be using the same books but we play a different game, each and every one of us. ...but think not that I retire because, I'm being convinced by your arguments. I retire because I find no point in trying to convince you of the obvious (obvious... again... for me), and because I find it futile to try and to counter arguments that I believe to be wrong over and over again. It is almost certain, that I've already made myself look like an [MENTION=40136]SS[/MENTION] after all the above... but what can I say... I can't help it :). One last thing before my way out of this debate: The rules were not written by the hand of god, and rest assured that they are full of mistakes, inaccuracies, and create for very unbalanced situations to a great extend, as written. Overall they are "good" rules... but far... FAR from being perfect. So when you stand so firmly by them as if they are the bible, think of that. Cause it's one thing to say what you REALLY think, and another to stand blindly by a set of rules as if they were written in stone by some mighty deity... because those are the "D&D rules" and we have to bow and love and protect them... because we love the game so much. It's one thing to build your arguments on top of your believes, and another, to build your arguments around the rules as a firewall, in order to blindly protect therm against any possible assault. And that is what I believe has happened to a great extent here, and in the other thread as well. Excuse my attitude, and for not even trying to be more polite over this... I'll see you guys on the other threads. [/QUOTE]
