[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 3770954, member: 4275"] GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not a freaking mistake, honest or otherwise, except in the hands of folks waiting with bated breath to pounce on your every word. Saying "this will be the best edition of D&D yet because everyone working on it loves D&D" says nothing about any edition other than 4e. NOTHING. It's not a mistake to say that you love your job. That doesn't imply anything about anyone else who worked that same job. If I am walking down the aisles of Target (let's assume this is the past and I still worked there) and I say "you know why this store is the best, because we LOVE retail!" Does that mean the guys at Walmart can't honestly think their store is the most face rocking, shoe blasting, mind blowing store in the history of retail? Nope. Does it mean THEY don't love retail? Nope. Does it mean the guys who worked there before couldn't have done the best job THEY could to make the store awesome? Nope. Does it mean that THEY didn't love retail? Nope. See how that works? When someone talks about THEMSELVES being awesome, people only read it as implying something bad about someone else if they are really, really freaking insecure. [/QUOTE]
