I doubt anyone here is really bothered by this though. If what's being posted here is okay by ENWorlds forum/posting rules, I doubt anyone here is going to be embarassed or ashamed of their posts being seen on other sites. As for reposting and replying to them on another site, I don't see how it's really a conversation. Replying to something said here on another site, where the original poster probably doesn't even know it's there (and therefore can't respond), seems more like just having a conversation/argument with ones self. If one has the courage of their own convictions, and isn't afraid of what someone may think of or reply about their post, then why reply to posts in secret somewhere else? Or reply somewhere else because it's the only place one can be allowed to be indiscriminately rude or condescending? Seems to me that if one finds themself unable or unwilling to directly address themself to someone, then maybe one should seriously consider whether there's something fundamentally flawed with the opinion or manner of presentation in the first place... I did find this <a href="http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3098558&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=940#post391426142" target="_blank">post</a> interesting though:   Then why post nearly 3 posts a day (8 posts on the 29th of March), with over 3,000 posts here.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" />   Anyways...   For the most part, I've found this conversation (all sides of this conversation) quite interesting. There's been some good points raised throughout this thread both for and against including mechanical differences. As with most things it seems to come down to personal preference, which is as it should be. I don't think any opinion voiced in this thread has been "wrong", though I don't personally agree with everything here. I have found this thread interesting as I've been thinking a bit about this very thing lately while working on my own houserules. This thread has actually caused me to reconsider some of the things I had previously decided about this. I still want some limitations for the sake of reality, so I'll probably still have limits on maximum allowed strength scores with different maximums based on gender, but that's probably all I'll impose now (rather than pluses and minuses at character creation). And that's because of some of the things I've read in this thread. It's been a good conversation.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
