Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 4635167" data-attributes="member: 2020">Rant over.  My apologies to Morrus and the Admins for making it.  But can you appreciate why I did so?  What I feel?  What I choose to hold in, because I really do not wish to aggravate the climate of anger and hatred that has run amok, even on ENWorld, because of the behavior of Hasbro and others?  Because our Hobby has fallen on hard times?  Of course, we should discuss the fact the Hobby has fallen on Hard Times.  Of course, this is a messageboard for doing that!  But there are a hundred threads, a thousand threads, about that.  I merely try to interject humor where I can, and I withhold from talking about the obvious.  The obvious is *painful.*  It is for me.  I've been in the hobby for 30 years, and what I see is very painful.  But rather than continue to rant and rave about the painful nature of things, or be involved in Edition Wars, or Flame Wars, or whatever, I post a poll (which, to be frank, is silly - this poll is stupid and meaningless ... the one GOOD thing about it, is that it shows an INCREASED interest in the Hobby, and I call that *good*) and make a few off-hand comments about ECM while waiting 2 months for the results to come in.  Can you blame me?  Yours Sincerely  Edena_of_Neith  EDIT:    No, it is not an overreaction.  Morrus had to Ban Edition War threads for 2 months, in order to protect ENWorld from the anger run amok.  Morrus doesn't do things like that lightly.  Morrus took it on the chin, in order to protect this messageboard.  I salute him.  It was the right thing to do.  Nobody has the right to turn ENWorld into another bloodbath, as they did practically *every other* messageboard.  What is so bad about a few remarks about ECM?  Heck, if you took everything I had to say about ECM, put together, it would not equal 1/10th of the text for that rule within that game, alone!    It was insignificant.  I hope the person who has issued the Complaint (and, shouldn't I - as a matter of ethical discourse - reply to Complaints?  Isn't it reasonable that I be required to answer Complaints?  I have a code to live up to, also) will read what I wrote, and appreciate where I'm coming from.  I will not discuss ECM anymore on this thread.  (Since Star Fleet Battles is mostly dead, and no messageboards exist for it, I probably won't be discussing it period anywhere, but certainly not on ENWorld which is a D&D and related games board.)  I will not discuss ECM.  But I will also not discuss the Horror Topic.  I leave that to others.   Because if it isn't fun, if there is no fun to be had, then I do not want to discuss it.  Where there is fun to be found in a thread, you'll find me.  Where there is no fun, no joy, nothing of hope or gladness, I will not be there.</blockquote>
