Edition wars ban extension?

[blargney the second]

Bring an edition war to CM and the locals will laugh at you relentlessly and mercilessly.

I fail to see the problem with that.

People have idealogical differences over things like politics, religion, global climate change, abortion and teaching creationism or evolution in public schools.

Yep, anything they feel very passionate about, typically with an entrenched stance. I don't know about you, but all the RPG forums I've been to for the last year have been displaying that in spades. When you put two different ideologies together, conflict ensues. I'm very happy not to see those conflicts in ANY context.

I completely agree with you - it's just stupid to have fights about a game.

People have personal preferences. "Edition Wars" serve little purpose except a little personal catharsis.

I've played every edition of D&D since 'Basic' (except AD&D 2nd). I have my favourites, but that's just me. I vote with my time and my wallet. Easy as that.

Yup, I'm extending it another month. Viva la reduction in asshattery!

This bans all cross-edition discussion or just warns that anyone turning such a discussion into rude bahvior will find themself banned?

*edit* Ah, nevermind -

Plenty of room for reasoned discussion of the differences between any of the versions.

Groovy, thanks. Not like you did it just for me, but I still appreciate it.

So, does this mean in another month, this ban will be extended to stifle free flowing discussion on various editions again? C'mon.

Maybe. Once tempers cool and we see that people can start posting without being jackasses about it, I'll consider changing my mind. It's not perfect as is, but I for one don't miss the poisonous vitriol in the least.
