[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 2628913, member: 22779"] Lol. Hey, wait, I resemble that remark. :p Recently I got to participate in a rather lengthy discussion about whether or not 3e rules stripped power away from the DM. Got my face handed to me rather succinctly a couple of times by various posters. Got annoyed, went back, reread, tried again, made a couple of points, had a great time. Sure, the topic may seem trivial, but a number of really interesting points came out of that thread (at least interesting to me) and it really illustrated the different mentalities that many DM's have about the game. At no point was anyone really insulting. No one went aggro on anyone else particularly. People were very vocal in their positions (including myself) and certainly putting a fair bit of effort into the discussion, but, then again, isn't that what a forum is for? Putting an idea out there and letting it get beaten around until it falls over? Heck, I thought it was great. We even came to some points of concensus after a while. On any forum I've ever been on before, after about the third page of posts, there really isn't any poing anymore. People simply entrench into their ideas and refuse to budge. Here, there was some pretty decent give and take between posters. I don't know about anyone else, but I was very impressed. [/QUOTE]
