Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alzrius" data-source="post: 8807247" data-attributes="member: 8461">And yet several other posters didn't, which demonstrates that it's not as clear as you think.On the contrary, it works extremely well as an argument. Just saying "lots of other people are unclear in what they post" is whataboutism, not a defense that the post itself was entirely accurate. Likewise, the dichotomy in question wasn't false, because there's no one putting forward that other posters were acting disingenuously (since they weren't).The reading wasn't overly literal, either, especially since the poster in question has previously made numerous outlandish claims that even a casual examination of the facts don't support; remember the implication about how most 3E modules weren't written in-house (<a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/dragonlance-everything-you-need-for-shadow-of-the-dragon-queen.692458/post-8803728" target="_blank">they were</a>), or that the good gods in Dragonlance aren't able to act directly, and that's why the Cataclysm wasn't stopped (<a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/dragonlance-reimagined.690790/post-8795451" target="_blank">which is completely wrong</a>)? So yeah, when a poster has a recent history of posting things that are wildly incorrect, it's not at all disingenuous to not think that they're using hyperbole.</blockquote>
