[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6132780, member: 177"] [color=red] Folks, the phrase, "there is no accounting for taste," in its original form, means that there's no clear mathematics or predictability for taste. People like what they like. And that may not be what you like. It then follows, that absolutes... usually aren't. "NEVER" should be used rarely when describing how to run a game. And nobody here gets to tell others whether or not they should be running games. Quite frankly, you don't have the cred to make that assertion. You are not that wise and knowing. I don't care who you are. It's pretty darned rude. Please leave space for people who play in ways you might not like yourself. Show respect for your fellow posters. Follow Wheaton's Law. Those are not difficult rules to follow, so we expect you to abide by them. Please remember that as the discussion continues. Oh, and remember that we no longer have the "threadban" feature - it was lost in the hack. That means that if we find you're leaning too heavy on folks, rather than take you out of one conversation, we take you off the boards for a while....[/color] [/QUOTE]
