My FLGS was a WotC store.The 2e/3e shift went down smoothly in my community. I didn't see anyone have any trouble, for example, acknowledging that the Baldur's Gate games were better than Neverwinter Nights, or that kits were really cool, or that CRs were stupid. In general, most people seemed to think that 3e was better, but these opinions were not unilateral, were not uncivil, and did not have the same kind of absurd rationalizations that seem to be de rigeur now.But it's fair to suggest that my local community ten years ago might have been more harmonious than others and my eyes are not and were not all-seeing.True. That is definitely one thing that's changed in the last ten years.And I wonder if perhaps, through some mechanism, this saturation of information has lowered the level of discourse in other areas besides gaming, which to me it often seems it has.</blockquote>
