[QUOTE="Redbadge, post: 5595567, member: 61463"] It was a joke, but a poor one. I was trying to play on the subtle difference between "can" versus "do" or "should". I think now that it may have detracted from any other point I might have made. :blush: And I know you might say that it's not even possible that we "can" all agree, we're just all too different. I would like to clarify that what I was thinking was, that for any given person, the perfect combination of past experiences and specific circumstances might have led them to like 4e. Obviously in some cases that didn't happen, isn't happening, and won't happen, but I think anything is [I]possible[/I]. I thought I might bring more geniality and camaraderie to the "rift" if I shared such a view, that although we all have different preferences, there are experiences and circumstances that we share that led us all to be gamers. But I think this argument is a bit too... out-there/unuseful/specious/fill-in-your-word-of-choice-here. I will now resume not contributing to this thread :D. Edit: And I suppose another of my goals was that maybe I could, if not get people to appreciate it, at least get them to dislike 4e a little less, because I apparently care more than I thought I did. And it seems I may have come up short in that goal, at least. [/QUOTE]
