[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4574499, member: 2067"] Hey! You! Yes you! The poster who is thinking that Dragon Snack is calling all 4e fans sheep! Calm down! In my reading, Dragon Snack wasn't calling all people who like 4e sheep. He was calling people who buy 4e just because it has big sales numbers sheep. Sheep in the sense of "follow the herd." So if you bought 4e because everyone else was buying 4e (because those sales must mean it's popular!), you followed the herd. If you bought 4e because you thought it was a great game and wanted to play it, you're not a sheep, because you didn't do it to follow the herd. Thor's balls, people are quick to take offense! ("You" left deliberately ambiguous, because You Know Who You Are. :)) I mean, maybe I'm being overly charitable, but the post mostly talks about how people who only follow what's hot this week are kind of annoying, goes on to say we ALL have games on our shelves we're not playing, supplements we're not using (because we probably do, unless we're some sort of hyper-focused genius), and that the real problem is this back-biting. "People are sheep" is a general phrase bemoaning the basic state of humanity. He didn't say "People who like 4e are sheep just going for the next hot thing," which would be pretty maddening. "People." Not "4e fans." There is a difference. ;) [/QUOTE]
