[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2436423, member: 19675"] I wasn't aiming to "Take you to task" TB. I don't give a rats ass about you personally, but you framed most of the major, common arguments against younger players so beautifully with nice, easy to snip headers. I was using them as GENERAL points of discussion. Had you payed closer attention to [I]my[/I] original post, you might have noticed I ONLY used the headers- not your commentary below them. If I HAD decided to take you to task, not only would I have included the relevant commentary, I also would have included your name with each header, as I do elsewhere...like thus: Um...[I] NO[/I]. I have no particular love for Wiggas, but no hate for them either. I pointed out that many campaigns in the 80's and 90's suffered from "Metal-tosis" and that THAT was really no different than what youngsters are doing today with bards named Fitty Copper or whatever... It doesn't bug me, but if it bugs my fellow players, I talk to the "offending" player about it. 99% of the time, the problem dissapears. I have yet to have a repeat offender. I HAVE, however, seen folowup "response" PCs played by other players. Example...one player had a PC mage based on the personality Bluto from Animal House. The next campaign, another played a samurai based on Belushi's SNL character. Another player had Belushi make a 3rd appearance as a bard dressed in black... TB, you also missed the obvious levity of that portion of the post when I used [I]jargon of that era.[/I] You may not have found it funny, but it was there. Fer sure, dude. And I never stoop to name calling, especially when quoting. That's as juvenile as your complained-about fart jokes, perhaps moreso. Hope that clears the air. If not...oh well- its not like I'll be losing sleep. Your combative attitude in this thread gags me with a Bohemian Ear Spoon. BTW, S'mon...I pity my clients too. ;) [/QUOTE]
