It has no application, concern, or any merit in describing posts, blogs or communications posted outside of those particular haunts. They are "local forum rules", not rules of general application.Jonathan Tweet is a co-Creator of 3rd Edition. I would fully expect him to prefer his creation in any cross-comparative analysis of game systems. Indeed, I would be a little disturbed if he didn't. And if the reporting of such comments here amounts to "Edition Warring" then ... whatever. Mods will respond however they care to (and to be clear, they did not in this case). Whether or not Tweet's comments, or Schwalb's, Cook's, Bulmahn's, or Merle's when engaged in comparative analysis:i) amount to "Edition Warring"; or ii) merely engage in a critical comparative analysis that blurs the lines in a fashion which typically leads to a "hot" Edition War thread if posted by others on ENWorld, is neither here nor there to me. I put it to you that it should be neither here nor there to you, too. These game designers are people and they get to say what they want. The amount of censorship that could be exerted under this guise (once again, to be clear, ENWorld Mods did not do so in this case) would sterilize virtually all discussions and debate.  That serves no real -- or at least valid -- purpose.It's a fine line with blurred edges applied in an imperfect environment in real time. Inconsistency  and variations are not merely expected under such conditions; rather, they are a moral certainty.I'm sure we'll survive, come what may.</blockquote>
