Here's what the sticky says:It seems to me that any "discussion" that someone wants to engage in is actually possible.I've seen others saying that the edition wars ban is "stifling discussion" and I'm honestly puzzled by this. The ban is pretty explicit. You're supposed to avoid preaching. Actual discussion of mechanics and how they compare, where something might (or does) break down... all that kind of stuff is allowed.The 3E houserules forum for example has had a perfectly civil discussion about how something like Skill Challenges can be implemented into 3.x.Now, I happen to notice that you tag yourself as "Professional 4E Hater".I'm wondering what kind of discussion it is you're looking to have that would be classed as part of the edition war? With a title like you've got, it's hard for me to see how any kind of discussion could be had; instead it'd just be people talking past each other about how one person is right, the other person is wrong, and some folks inevitably reacting badly after someone makes a comment that's insulting (intentional or otherwise).What is it I'm missing?</blockquote>
