[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 4914307, member: 29112"] Some citations might help here. Also, are you [I]sure[/I] that is what they were doing / attempting / intending / thinking? Anyhow, whatever the case, [I]just say so[/I]. That is, just say what you want to say, so long as it's not incredibly rude or otherwise exceedngly innapropriate, obviously. So, if you happen to think about D&D in a different way, [I]say so[/I]. If you happen to vastly prefer 4e to AD&D (for example), [I]say so[/I]. IMO, this doesn't have to be as touchy or complicated as it appears you might believe. Essentially, I don't think many people out there (inc. fans of old school D&D, actually) could care less if you (or I, or even hordes of other gamers) don't agree with Gary about, well, just about anything. Or, for that matter, if you [or whoever] happen to disagree with said [I]fans[/I] about pretty much anything either. Er, as long as it's kept clean and civil.
