I don't mind people arguing, even fervently, about which game they think is better. I think it's pointless, since nearly all of the argument is one person's opinion versus another and the only way to win that arguement is to say "So you say 3.5 is the best for you? I need more than 3.5. I need more than 4E too. I need variety in my roleplaying game!"  Another thing I have to mention, i've seen posted 5 or 6 times now. "We don't discuss trolls, report them" though it varied in syllables and grammer of course.  I want to ask, why? Not to stir up the stirred up pot, but I'm just not bothered by trolls. If someone uses truly insulting or any of the -ism remarks to another poster, I think that needs stamped on. No f-bombs or insutling anyone due to race, color, creed, sex, etcetera, but I don't find the posted who posts something inflammatory or argues in circles that bad, nor simply stating "Oh, he/she/it is trolling."  In my book, it's either for cheap entertainment, in which case I weep for that level of boredom, or they really are incapable of arguing a topic. Again, i'm not insulted, I just assume I'm not likely to have a good conversation with them, maybe on just that topic, maybe on all topics. Even the blatant ones that post the really inflammatory subjects and keep them going and going, it doesn't bother me, I mean I find it laughable because how obvious those are. Truth is, the occassionally hit on a good topic, even if they just keep inputting the same thing, it might spark something else worth talking about. I don't know Hong (I've read a few of his posts, but I guess I didn't find them trolling posts) but i've never felt the need to go report someone for arguing the same point the same way even if they started it.  If I felt that need, I'd have to find something to do about all of the real life trolls that love to talk about the most controversial things imaginable but have no intention of being swayed on them. My little brother does that sometimes, when I was younger I think I told my Dad and he said told both of us to shut up and came up with a chore for us to do.</blockquote>
