[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 9270438, member: 87792"] There is an old adage "When the facts support you, pound the facts. When the law supports you, pound the law. When neither supports you pound the table." Your comment here is pounding the table. It's entirely going after me. The facts - that the core of D&D is highly unrealistic thanks to classes, levels, and consequence free hit points being all you take before you drop support me. The philosophy - that trying for realism on a deliberately unrealistic core is building on sand (as your only actual relevant argument in the post I'm replying to is a tone argument) supports me. The statements of Gygax himself support me. You have no shreds of relevant argument left. Which is why you are pounding so hard on the table. Some opinions [I]are[/I] wrong. And I do normally refrain from insulting language - but if you are going to seek offence in a common phrase I consider that to be on you. You however are spending time attacking me and not even bothering to try to defend your position. Just persisting in claiming that your position is correct despite everything you have offered having been debunked. And persisting in attacking me. Goodbye [/QUOTE]
