[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 4635162, member: 2020"] I would prefer the few humorous posts about ECM. The reality of what has happened, with Dragon, Dungeon, editions, settings, the whole thing, is just a little too painful. A little humor is needed. My heavens, isn't there little enough humor in the godawful reality of what has happened? If there is no room for humor - in a messageboard devoted to gaming, of all places - what is the point? The post I just made, I could have made at the *beginning.* I didn't make that post, because I dislike feeding hatred and anger. I happen to know where hatred and anger *lead.* I should. I got a Doctorate in the subject, learned first hand. Trust me. Why do you think I refused to be involved in the Edition Flamewar? Why do you think I mourned, watched in sadness, as the Edition War helped further wreck the situation? I don't like making posts like the one above. I like being flippant. I like being humorous. I like playing up the good, and playing down the bad. And, although I love giving poll numbers, endless numbers of poll number statements get boring. Something is needed to spice it up. Something, to keep interest, and maybe even ... bring back some old, good memories on the part of some of our posters (others remember Star Fleet Battles, remember how good a time they had at it ... and every time I posted about it, those posts were marked Off-Topic. You don't have to read them if they offend, you know!) I will not be dragged into the grim horror of what has happened. It is bad enough I have to read it. I will not feed the Flamewar Monster. I will not feed the Hate Monster. I will not feed the Anger Monster. The ECM Monster? THAT is a monster I can feed. The Hate Monster? I would put a +5 lance through it's heart, if I could.
