[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 9303480, member: 2525"] That's not what the term gaslighting means, and it's not OK for you to misuse that term as a weapon like you just tried to do. I am not calling you in any way crazy. I am saying I disagree with the view that you plainly stated, and gave good reasons why. I strongly disagree. Almost all clickbaiting sources to negativity. PARTICULARLY on this topic of D&D fandom, almost every single clickbait article sources to doom and gloom about Hasbro, or WOTC, or D&D. It is very rare to see any sort of clickbait which is optimistic about Hasbro, or WOTC, or D&D. Same with fake news - the extent of the investigators sent to look into the magic cards, drops in sales of D&D, AI stuff, some of the OGL stuff, all of that was fake news sourcing to people being relentlessly negative about Hasbro, WOTC, and/or D&D. I totally disagree and you know well my disagreement with you on those topics. You were wrong on the movie and I stand by that and it has nothing to do with positivity. You were wrong on the financial reports and I feel I pretty well proved that and you backed away. I can see now why you're coming in hot on this topic though - it's you that you are referring to about negativity I guess? Nobody "shouts down" negative opinions, you just react very poorly to any push back on your negative opinions and have engaged as a matter of course of speaking with absolute authority on a number of topis which, once pressed, you admit you had no experience or background in whatsoever besides being a game with speculation. And you certainly never were shouted down - you blustered ahead anyway on those topics even after it was apparent you were substituting amateur opinion for facts. If you disagree, show me one time you were actually shouted down - or anyone here for that matter - for expressing a negative opinion? You're entitled to your negative opinion all you want. You're not entitled to be free of criticism for expressing those negative opinions which others disagree with, and disagreement isn't shouting you down. Not at all. Bobs sample is by definition going to be MASSIVELY smaller than WOTC and also skew towards "I want to stick it to WOTC" people. We know this without even looking - complainers on message boards and YouTube are not representative of the general marketplace of players of D&D, but that's where this poll is being advertised. Not direct to players, but only in source which already skew towards complaints. There is a huge thread on it on TheRPGSite for example - composed nearly 100% of OSR players who despise WOTC and don't even play 5e. I didn't say anything about not having a negative opinion. I pushed back on your claim that positivity is almost as bad as negativity - with reasons you never responded to. [/QUOTE]
