[QUOTE="Jeremy E Grenemyer, post: 6327477, member: 12388"] And I thought I was the drama queen. Pejorative implies the intent to belittle or disparage. Objectively--not subjectively--Schwalb didn't do that. The sky is blue. The sun rises in the east. Everybody will die at some point. Schwalb was not being pejorative. When you contend that Schwalb is claiming to tell others that how they play the game is what's spoiling it, again you're making things up. Making observations about how rules systems can lead to trends in player behavior isn't the same thing as telling a group of players they're ruining the game, [i]especially[/i] when those statements are made in the broader context of a blog post that's centered on Schwalb's experiences as a player of D&D, on his time working on D&D from ~3.5 to 5E and on his reflections on the game and what's frustrated him over time in the later editions of the game. And just when we thought things were under control, this next post pops up: Lolz, you're just here to argue. That's hilarious, considering your claim of "solid edition warring" that's "inescapable." If your intent in putting these claims in the same post with "People understand what Schwalb is saying perfectly well" was to make me laugh...well, you succeeded admirably. Well done sir! I bet neither of you bothered to read the comments in the original blog post, did you? [/QUOTE]
