[QUOTE="Echohawk, post: 9537586, member: 9849"] I hope you'll forgive me for trying to answer! I do not mean this to be a personal attack in any way. I don't think you get pushback because you express how you feel about lore. I think you get pushback because you express how you feel about lore in every thread where there is any sort of opportunity to do so [B]and[/B] you usually do so in the form of a criticism of WotC's current stewardship of the game. You doing that is post #4 of this thread, for example. What you are intending to communicate is "WotC isn't doing what I would prefer them to do with D&D" but it comes across as "WotC's stewardship of D&D is objectively bad becuse it doesn't respect lore" even when you aren't actually saying those words. For many people, the opposite is true, so you get pushback. I'm guessing that if you were to express your love of previous editions' metaplot without linking it to criticism of WotC, you probably wouldn't trigger constant pushback. [/QUOTE]
