Favorite Tired ENWorld/D&D Argument?

[Azlan]

Thing is, when someone who is new to these boards unknowingly brings up an agrument that has been "done to death", a lot of the jaded veterans here come at him like piranhas. The poor new guy is quickly reduced to bones by the camaraderie, the hindsight, and the honed rebuttals of the veterans.

You have to possess a pretty thick skin to hang in there and get past your initiatial hundred or so posts.

(But, really, I guess this pretty much goes for any message board.)

What topic am I sick of? Dragon bashing! Its almost like every time someone mentions anything about a new dragon, someone goes on a quest to slay it. Come on people, just smile and be happy that we get a monthly dose of insightful articles, optional rules, and (very importantly for some people) a place for people who have never been published before to be published for the first time.

Just give 'em a break.

Heh. What are you - new?

Sometimes I get tired of people not agreeing with me. I mean I know I'm right, they should have the decency to admit it.

Not so new, but not yet a jaded veteran. I'm also pretty thick-skinned and, like yourself, a smart a**.

I know that what you know is not right or on topic (at least not most of the time), therefore not agreeing and mocking your point of view is in my nature.

Oh, that's what he is! I thought he was some kind of human Chita pet, with straw-like plant growth coming out of his head.

Duh.

How could this thread have failed to list the most horrible thread of all!

The dreaded "How should I punish my Paladin PC?" discussion is the most horrible Tired Old Thread I know of.

Rivaled only by the pretenaturally recurrent "How much does alignment suck?" thread.

It's one of the characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Before you even ask, Aqua Teen Hunger Force is a cartoon on Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network. Still confused? Go here.http://www.adultswim.com/shows/athf/index.html

Ah a sneak attack and in Meta even, good thing I have a thick (and deep fried to perfection) skin. Would launch a all out counterstrike of smiley faces but I worry about those caught in the crossfire

Funny thing is that I do sort of resemble Frylock, well with the exeption of the french fries and the red fry carton and the super powers and the lack of appendages. Ok I really look nothing like him.

I do have some advice to all those new people who show up and post a "I hate _____" thread right off the bat. Don't start a fight unless your willing to stand in there with everybody's opinion. You only need that thick skin if you are looking to pick a fight. If you try to discuss things without ranting on how bad something is then you normally get a good conversation but if you start out with "I hate ______ and I think it needs to be changed/gotten rid of and I assume that everybody agrees with me" then you are begging for those harsh and well practiced replies. A rant begets a rant and a intelligent conversation begets a intelligent conversation, you don't need to have 200+ post to understand that.

I object to this blatant dermism! I have thin skin, and am proud of it! This requirement to have thick skin is highly inflammatory and insulting.

Plus, it hurts my feelings.
