I think a lot of the objection to what you said is less to do with your ultimate position, and more to do with the over the top aggressive manner you took that position. For example, rather than saying, "You're concerned rule X will be unduly burdensome to keep track of in the game, or shift the balance of power in unexpected ways" you say, "but preemptively banning something because you're afraid of it ruining your carefully laid out plans seems like you're incapable of dealing with not everything going the way you want it."So let's apply that to what you just said. Sure, some DMs are hesitant to allow the ceremony spell BECAUSE THEY ARE CONCERNED IT WILL SHIFT THE BALANCE OF POWER IN AN UNEXPECTED WAY. Maybe they are incorrect in thinking that, but that's what they're concerned about. Not because they are "afraid of it ruining their carefully laid out plan and are incapable of dealing with not everything going their way". Get it now? You took a way over the top aggressive stance, and you don't even appear to believe in that stance when it came to the first example you tried to apply to your position. So maybe chill out on calling people cowards and incapable of coping when you appear to actually mean people should try things out before concluding they will upset balance or require too much tracking?I feel very confident your over the top aggressive approach to this topic is not because of some event which literally happened a decade ago with people not even in this thread.  You took a position to the people in this thread. It was a strawman. You appeared to intentionally poke at people calling them cowards and/or incapable of dealing with something, and when people pushed back as I am sure you knew they would, you acted the wounded victim saying things like, "Man, so confrontational <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />" as if you didn't expect calling people cowards and/or incapable of dealing with an ordinary challenge of the game to get a non-confrontational response.I mean it's your right to be so in your face to people if that's what you enjoy, but don't act so surprised when people are in your face back over it. Own your behavior.</blockquote>
