Favorite Tired ENWorld/D&D Argument?

[jdavis]

When you see a thread that starts out "I hate 3.5 edition....." or "I hate Bards....." or "Drgaon magaizine sucks......." or any of the other known problem subjects and you look and see that the guy who posted it has one post then you start to wonder. If your first post is a all out attack on something then you probably are not here to join the community to start with, it's not all that uncommon to see a thread like that pop up, makes you wonder if it was a new person or just somebody trolling the board. Your going to need a lot more than some tough skin if you are going to come out of the gate by picking a fight.

I can't stand the fits of outrage that precede and follow every non-adventure WOTC release with mathematical precision.

And we know that none of us would ever feed a troll.

(Nice to see that all of the usual suspects found another silly thread to hang out in, and yes jdavis, we all know that you are always right.)

The Usual Suspects? Hanging out? Silly thread?

Tsk. He says it like it's a bad thing.

Hmm, I hope I'm not a usual suspect. I would never feed a troll.

Or even "my hate of d02 know no limit!"

Bless you for standing up for proper punctuation and grammar. I work for a magazine publisher, and sometime even they don't get it right. In printed products. Makes me shudder.

Thanks ! Usually this kind of comment get answers like "you grammar nazi" rather than agreement.

Actually, one of the reasons I dislike these errors is that English isn't my first language. So when I see "their" or "there" instead of "they're" (or the reverse, or a similar error), I understand "their" or "there", get a meaningless sentence, and have to read again.

That said, I sometime make them myself, when I'm tired...

Following Eric's list, is MY list of sickening words:

munchy
kiddie
diablo
twink
crunch
fluff
"soulless," in conjunction with "corporate"
hinky
overpowered
underpowered
taiwan
latex semi-gloss



And one of my favorite terms:

"Wizards of the Cost," because Ryan Dancey said it first, totally by accident, at a time when people were lamenting that TSR was gone and people couldn't use T$R any more, and WotC had no S 's .

Yeah, that's lame. I prefer Lizards of the Cost.....

I love all the "Wizards is out for your money" post, nah really, I was wondering why they don't just give stuff away. Funny thing about T$R is they didn't make any $. I guess it's just in people's nature to complain about money, but if they are not making money then they are going out of business.

The I hate threads do spring up like clockwork though, every release of anything starts some kind of love/hate thread that all boils down to WOTC wanting our money.
